When Alison Hammond champions a brand, you know it's gotta be worth it. Scamp & Dude's latest launch - the Indigo Zip Detail Tiered Short Denim Dress - is the exact kind of easy, versatile piece that's made the label a favourite with celebs. This dress gives denim an edgy and modern upgrade with the playful tiers, zip detailing, and a silhouette that feels as good as it looks. Flattering and chic.
What makes this denim dress such a wardrobe MVP is its wear-anywhere energy. Pair it with chunky trainers and a crossbody for daytime ease, then switch to knee-high boots and a tailored blazer for a night out. It could layer effortlessly with knits in colder months, too. Fully stocked, brand new, and ready to wear on repeat, this is the kind of piece that goes from brunching to bar without skipping a beat.

It’s basically the definition of 'cute but casual'.
Why do we love this pick so much? It's a mid-priced alternative compared to designer denim dresses, which can total more than £300, and this Scamp & Dude Short Denim Dress is available in lots of sizes (6 to 22). Plus, the brand's ethos of giving back, ethical production and feel-good fashion are big motivators for us to keep an eye on what it does next. The brand's reputation for uplifting, dopamine-dressing has certainly caught the attention of the bold and beautiful Alison Hammond, TV presenter extraordinaire:

Think of this as your Alison Hammond-energy dress - fun, confident and ready for any eventuality. It's the piece that we'd pull on for Saturday brunch with friends, but it also works with ankle boots and a blazer for the office. Running errands? Pair with trainers and your fave tote bag. Feeling the vibe? If you are a fan of a cocktail night with the gals, we'd recommend swapping in some heels and statement earrings.
Denim is always a crowd-pleaser, but this one has extra star power thanks to the flattering fit, tiered design and zip-detail twist. Timeless, it's a transitional denim hero we're looking forward to putting into our wardrobes as summer comes to a close. Can you spy the small Scamp & Dude logo?
This dress may be brand new, but if you know Scamp & Dude, you know that their popular pieces don't hang around for long. Fans (including celebs) will be snapping them up fast. At this price point, for premium feel denim, it's a high street win with designer vibes. Add to your bag now, before your size disappears - because this is a dress you'll regret not grabbing when you had the chance.
