One of the most versatile items one can have in their wardrobe is the tea dress, a midcentury staple that has stood the test of time. Back in the day, the tea dress was supposed to be worn well...for tea! Not formal and yet not casual, the tea dress has become an item that works for almost any occasion, from days at the office to a christening or just popping out for a coffee. In more recent years the tea dress has blossomed in popularity, becoming a style favourite for the Spring and Summer months, but it is just as useful in the colder months. Couple these dresses with a pair of black tights, some trainers as a cosy coat for the perfect comfortable Autumn day outfit. Take it from day to night with a pop of red lipstick and heels! The right dress will vary from person to person but aim for a dress that isn’t too tight. These dresses are designed to be practical and comfortable for everyday use! We also suggest veering to colours and tones that match the rest of your wardrobe, allowing you to get the very most wear out of your new piece.

Here are some of our picks for this season!
