Breezy, chic and easy to throw on—there’s a lot to say in favour of wearing dresses in summer. Be they short, fitted, long, or billowy there’s a place in our wardrobes for every style. Offering the quickest way to get dressed and out the door whilst ensuring that you look perfectly put-together, an excellent dress is many a fashion editor’s summer non-negotiable.

Ever on the look out for a dress of such calibre, I couldn’t help but notice that both Alexa Chung and Hannah Dodd both wore a simple yet elegant dress trend within days of one another, which, naturally, I took as a sign to document it.

Wearing a delicate silk crepe dress from Ralph Lauren, Alexa Chung’s take on the trend saw her opt for an ivory style that featured ruffled short sleeves and a pretty floral motif that added a summery spirit to the elegant gown.

Just a few days later, Bridgerton actor Hannah Dodd stepped out in a sorbet yellow dress at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Dodd nodded to the trending style by selecting a floor-length dress that featured ruffle detailing at the sleeves and throughout the body, allowing her to keep her accessories simple and clean.

While the ruffle dress is synonymous with Y2K style, and there are definitely options on the market that fit the #throwback brief, 2024’s shift towards classic style means that this trend has also been given grown-up appeal, with both Chung and Dodd opting for styles that fall into the latter category.

Versatile by nature, the trend styles well with mary janes or sandals to see you through a relaxed summer picnic, but looks all-the-more elevated when dressed up with heeled sandals and a top-handle bag, which, when combined, make for the perfect wedding guest outfit
