Smock dresses are so on the style radar right now, and it is not just hype. Thanks to the smocked bodice, they give you that dreamy, gathered effect that appreciates all shapes while letting you move, breathe, and even enjoy that extra slice of cake without a fuss. They nail that comfy chic vibe that is all over summer fashion roundups. They are totally Instagram-worthy and just as at home in the park as they are on a cocktail terrace.

The Jane Smocked Shirt Dress in Bright Blue is your new best friend, fashionable, fun, and fabulous in sizes 4 to 22. Get ready to turn heads.
Need some styling inspiration? There are so many fun options. Go laid back with white trainers and a straw tote for the ultimate brunch-by-the-river look. Choose brown wedges or oversized sunglasses for a real dress-to-impress moment if you want to glam it up. For a beach-ready look, slide on jelly sandals, pop on a floppy hat, and you are summer perfection.
As for finishing touches, a coral or soft pink lipstick will make your smile pop against the bright blue, while delicate gold hoops or layered necklaces keep the look chic. But, if you are going for red, try classic nude and dainty silver jewellery to balance the boldness.
And here is some royal tea. Princess Eugenie was recently spotted in Portugal wearing a smock-style dress during a sunny getaway with Ayda Field. She chose a Smocked Georgette Tank Dress by Michael Kors, which looked stunning. While she is the most high-profile face to wear this look this August, her stamp of approval proves this trend is well and truly having its moment.
In our books, the Jane Smocked Shirt Dress is a must-have for being all things fun, floaty and fabulous. Whether you are brunching, heading to the beach or just relaxing in style, this is the dress you cannot miss. There is a reason it is trending, and like us, you'll probably want one in every colour!
