This summer is warm, and for city girls and beach babes alike, dressing in the heat can be tricky – of course, we want to stay stylish but cool in both ways.
To help you hack the heatwaves this summer, here’s our scoop on the most affordable, versatile, and chic-but-cool midi dresses:


Hear us out with the Billabong rec; we love this one because it’s versatile. Cutesy for a daytime vibe, or to wear it more casually, open up those buttons and wear them over a boob tube and cycling shorts.

We love the beachy vibes this print gives – the brand is Australian, so they’ve got the beach vibe down. This is another pairing perfectly with sneakers or a cute strappy sandal.

The Sister Jane Ruffle dress is *ideal* for the boardroom to rooftop drinks transition; floaty and textured, there’s no chance of noticeable butt sweat and plenty of wafting to be done to keep the breeze blowing down there.

Events in a heatwave, ugh, no one wants to be the one constantly having to refresh in the bathroom. Although figure-hugging, there’s little coverage on the arms and decolletage, so lots of surface area is exposed to keep you cool. It’s a bit fancy but charmingly low-key

We love the fun sleeves and bright print on this one; eye-catching while feeling light and airy; this is your evening drinks host outfit or Sunday morning coffee stroll – you choose.


This sassy little number works with a fancy pump or a trendy sneaker for hot days in the office.
