From floaty dresses to statement sandals, add these 12 staples to your sartorial wishlist…
If you’re a fan of whimsical summer dressing with a side of boho chic, then listen up – the new Free People collection has dropped and we want it all.
Landing just in time for this wave of fine weather, the range has everything you’d expect from this iconic American brand.
Think floaty maxi dresses, eye-catching details, abstract florals and a whole host of statement accessories to give your summer ensembles some serious swagger.
Ideal for laid-back gatherings, long weekends and dancing in fields, here are our top 12 picks from the new Free People collection…
1. The Audrey Embroidered Maxi Dress
Ibiza wedding? Look no further. Boasting a loose and billowy silhouette, this embroidered dress is ideal for overseas nuptials – especially when paired with a strappy sandal and statement gold jewellery.
2. The String Of Hearts Maxi Dress
A wear-with-everything white maxi dress is a summer staple and we love this offering. Featuring a tie-front detail and button-down skirt, this dress has a signature 90s feel that can be dressed up or down.
3. The Havana Thong Flatform Sandals
A wedge thong sandal works with any outfit, from flared jeans to floral romper. We love how this tan option complements any pattern or colour palette, while still looking slightly dressier than your average pair of summer slides.
4. The Now And Forever Midi Dress
Prairie chic has been hailed as the ‘new boho’ for a while now and is still very much a hot trend for summer. This coral offering comes with puffed sleeves (love), gathered detailing and an embroidered lace collar for a seriously whimsical vibe.
5. The Edie Dress
If frills are your thing, then this dress is about to become your new wardrobe must-have. Featuring a button-down front and versatile plaid print, we love wearing this open over jeans for an alternative look.
6. The Delaney Fisherman Platforms
A chunky sandal makes for the perfect summer investment and this pair will take you from desk to drinks without having to switch up your outfit. Plus, we’re loving this light sand colour as an alternative to the usual black or tan.
7. The Day Glow One-Piece
With plenty of eye-catching details, this jumpsuit features a wide-legged silhouette that’s ideal for long summer evenings. Dress up with metallic slides or with your favourite baseball boots and denim jacket for a laid-back weekend look.
8. The Obscura Head Scarf
Yes, crochet headscarves are back and we’re 100% here for it. Pretty enough to accessorise a plain tee and jeans (or why not go full Woodstock and clash with loud prints and textures?), this piece is guaranteed to freshen up any outfit.
9. The Love Of My Life Midi Dress
A black dress is also another summer staple, especially when teamed with tan leather sandals and plenty of layered gold jewellery. We love the neckline on this number, together with the puffed sleeves and button detailing.
10. The Sweet And Salty Jumpsuit
Perfect for summer gatherings, this checked jumpsuit can be worn smart or casual with the addition of the right accessories. A brightly coloured pump will dress things up, whereas a crisp white trainer will keep things casual. Don’t forget a red lip.
11. The Show Me Love Romper
Prepare to meet your new key summer piece. A floral romper or playsuit can be worn to every kind of occasion, from BBQs to beach walks. Weather feeling a bit cool? Pair with a leather jacket and boots for a nod to 90s grunge.
12. The Cali Crochet Clutch
Summer allows us to be playful with our accessories, and this crochet bag is ideal for doing just that. Handy for carrying all your essentials, we like this bag teamed with a simple black maxi and sandals. Add an oversized pair of sunglasses for a retro 70s vibe.
