Summer season is in full swing and here at Style’n’Snitch we couldn’t be happier to dig out our skimpiest attire, drink Aperol Spritzes on a Monday and unabashedly don sunnies with every outfit. If you’re in the market for a new dress, look no further – from the practical forms of the utility dress, to the cascading hems of race day gowns, here’s our pick of the best summer frocks for every occasion.

The event guest
Whether you’re knee-deep in wedding invites or you’re off to the races, you’re going to need at least one showstopper to leave your mark on this summer.

The lady of athleisure
The trend towards sportswear has had ladies breathing a sigh of relief as they enjoy form-flattering shapes, comfort stretch and the fact that trainers are now deemed socially acceptable with everything.

SDress Anais Sculpting dress, £620, www.stylensnitch.com/shop
The garden party go-to
From high tea in a country manor to relaxing by the riverside, one of these colourful creations should have you covered.
Bagheera Mosaic Dress, £250, www.stylensnitch.com/shop
Stella McCartney Nyasia maxi dress, NOW £583, www.stellamccartney.com
The utility dress
The easiest chuck-on for a put-together yet totally comfortable daytime look – utility fashion is slick, practical and almost always en vogue.
Yves Salomon belted utility dress, £540, www.farfetch.com
Topshop Boutique utility shirt dress, £95, www.topshop.com
The picnic playsuit
A picnic in the park is something that’s hard to avoid when the sun’s shining. Why not pick a playsuit – it comes with all the femininity of a day dress, but leaves a lot more room for error (aka too much prosecco).
Zimmerman Iris silk-georgette playsuit, £540, www.net-a-porter.com
Nanushka strappy playsuit with frayed hem, £310, www.brownsfashion.com
