The season of exposed skin is here, and although our usual summer activities like picnics in the park and days at the beach may be uncertain, we can still enjoy the summer fashionably soaking up the sun and working on our tans. Here are Voir’s top picks for our season summer dresses.

Shirtdress

The shirt dress, well the name speaks for itself this is a dress made from the classic shirt structure. The shirt dress is perfect for summer as it gives the work casual feel to the summer. This dress, like most summer dresses, is usually lightweight and white. Although the dress comes in the structure of a shirt, it can also be altered by the use of a belt or even a corset.

Dress: Zara Ripped Denim Shirt (£29.99)

Boots: Naked Wolfie Jupiter Black Leather (£257)

Sunglasses: Fendi Crystal F square sunglasses (£300)

Bag: Stella McCartney monogram utility belt bag (£635)

Scarf: Fendi Logo print silk scarf (£450)

Maxi Oversized

The staple of the summer the maxi dress, the appeal of the maxi dress comes from its long flowy nature. Typically, the dresses are usually formfitting but cut to flow loosely over the body. The maxi dress is the one and done of the summer as this is the easiest to wear and work both indoors and out.

Dress: Forte Forte Tiered Maxi Dress (£715)

Shoes: Maison Margiela Tabi 80mm platform sandals (£580)

Bag: Aranaz Cerise handbag (£175)

Sunglasses: Gucci black square sunglasses in acetate (£278)

Fit and Flared

The Fit and flare dress is a dress made of lightweight material that is usually fit up until the upper waist and flares for the rest of the length of it. The fit and flare is the perfect dress for the summer breeze as the material and cut allow for maximum circulation, and the flow of the dress in the wind is something straight out of rom-com movie scene.

Boots: Paris Texas embossed pull-on boots (£487)

Bag: Prada tonal logo plaque bowling bag (£1,630)

Sunglasses: Tom Ford Connor-02 (£289)

The Slip Dress

The slip dress usually silk and looks like something between a camisole and a nightgown has made it into the front row of the summer experience as the dress has become one of the trending dresses. This dress is perfect on its own but also works well with a white shirt.

Trainers: Rombaut Boccaccio chunky boots in white synthetic leather (£315)

Bag: The Sant Furoshiki Leather box bag (£400)

Tiered Dress

The tiered dress is more like a baby doll dress but tiered. With this dress think Lolita and all those vibes. This dress is usually made of lightweight material, and the tiered nature makes the dress float away from the body. This allows the dress to have air circulation and perfect for summer weather.

Shoes: Simon Miller Blackout 110mm platform sandals (£456)

Bag: Miu Miu smooth leather bag (£1,380)

The Less Dress

When it comes to the less dress, less is more. If you don’t know by the less dress, I mean the strapless backless and any dress that has cut-outs. This dress is perfect for the summer season as the cut-outs give your body better shape. Also, during the heat, no one wants to be covered up.

Us girls are complex creatures, and we know saying each one of us falls into just one of these categories of single girls on Valentine’s day is a huge generalisation. Whether you relate to one of the categories completely, or you’re a whole load of ‘Sweetheart’ with a touch of ‘The Realist’, or you’re sick of hanging on boys every last word and want to get your ‘vamp’ on, here is our style guide for whoever you are, or whoever you want to be this Galentines!

Sweetheart

You’re the hopeless romantic of the group, (You just can’t find the romance to be hopeless in at the minute). You’ve just about watched, no, studied, the entire collection of Rom-Coms Netflix has to offer and are just waiting to bump into your very own Ryan Gosling at the carnival (never mind the fact that you can’t remember the last time you went to a carnival). Serial dating, boy-mad, whatever you want to call it, you see it as multiple investments in your future rather than countless failed attempts at love. For you, your ‘Galentines’ night out is a chance to get dolled up and go man-hunting, after all; love is in the air!

Boots: Metallic Paris Texas glossy crocodile-effect boots

Bag: Fendi Women’s Metallic Silver Leather Crystal Logo Detail Baguette

Dress: Topshop Blush Pink Ruched Mini Slip Dress (£29)

Perfume: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau de Toilette (£45.57)

Lipgloss: Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer in Diamond Milk (£17)

Keyring: Fendi Pink Pom Pom Fur Charm (£450)

Vampy

You genuinely love yourself more than you could ever love any man, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it doesn’t mean a girl doesn’t want attention! You are somewhere in-between the sweetheart and the realist; you’re open to the idea of someone sweeping you off your feet, but it’s going to have to be someone pretty damn spectacular to tie you down. Your ‘Galentines’ night out will consist of you probably having a mindless little flirt here and there and then strutting your stuff around the dance floor- you’re ‘feelin’ yourself’ every other day of the year, so why should Valentine’s day change that?!

Trousers: I.AM.GIA Ophelia Pant (£58)

Corset: RUVE ITKA corset (45€)

Shoes: Simmi London Samia square toe mules in black patent (£22.50)

Lipstick: Christian Louboutin Beauty Velvet Matte Lip Colour – Rouge Louboutin (£70)

Body Shimmer: Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil (£72)

Bag: Prada Re-Edition 2000 nylon mini-bag (£495)

Realist

You would find solitary confinement with no internet connection more interesting than boys. You simply haven’t got the time or the energy to be wasting on dating. You are the voice of reason in the group. You’ve been the level-headed fountain of knowledge through all your girl’s heartbreaks and boy-related dilemmas- and that’s the way it’s going to stay for the foreseeable future. For you, your ‘Galentines’ night out is just like any other night out with your girls where you drink, dance and probably end up in the loos consoling someone you don’t know on their boy troubles, preaching about the joys of being single! Boys? Bye!

Boots: Fenty Corset Boots 105 in Coco White (£820)

Bag: Charles and Keith White Croc-Effect Turn Lock Bag (£39)

Boiler Suit: Misguided grey faux leather popper jumpsuit (£50)

Phone Case: Coconut Lane ‘not your hun.’ Phone Case (£14)

Hair Slides: HBX ‘Thank you Next’ crystal barette (£84.56)
