20 Summer Party Dresses for Sunny Celebrations

The perfect partywear for long summer evenings

With the sun tentatively poking its head through the clouds, we’ve decided it’s time to ditch the woolly layers in favour of pastures new – especially when it comes to the social season. Whether you have a wedding on the horizon, are thinking of ideas for the races or simply looking to get your boogie on during those long summer evenings, we’ve got you covered. See our edit of the best summer party dresses below, with picks from Needle & Thread and Baukjen, as well as rental options from My Wardrobe HQ and Rotaro. 

As always, before you buy, check at home to see if you have something that fits the trends we see on the runway. Re-wearing old clothes is the best way to be sustainable, but if you can’t avoid it then shop consciously at responsible retailers, as well as rental and resale sites.
