Style Notes: Throw-on dresses and trainers always look cool when paired together. For extra style points, choose a trainer with a colour accent that matches your dress.

Style Notes: Is there anything a basket bag doesn’t go with? I’m yet to be proven otherwise. However, I particularly love styling them with relaxed dresses so I can tap into that holiday/beachy vibe even when I’m just out doing a food shop.

Style Notes: If you want to give your throw-on dress some fashion appeal, the easiest way to do so is with a pair of fisherman sandals. Thanks to The Row, fisherman sandals have been the fashion person’s sandal of choice for two years running and are showing no signs of waning. Just ask Free People, which has created a best-selling, more affordable pair.

Style Notes: When you opt for a pared-back frock or a neutral colour, a subtle metallic flash can completely overhaul the look and feel of your outfit. Just ask Monikh, who uses chunky hoop earrings and stacked bangles to lift her beige dress.

Style Notes: While you can play around with your own jackets to find the one that best suits your throw-on dress, if you’re looking for a lighter extra layer, try adding a linen shirt over the top. Knot it like Claudia has, or leave it loose to further enhance an oversized dress silhouette.

Style Notes: This year, I refuse to wear tight dresses to weddings—I want to eat and dance freely, and bodycon dresses get in the way of that for me. This is why I’m so pleased that throw-on dresses are now a thing. I’ll be pairing my straight-cut frocks with high-heel sandals to make them feel dressier.
