With temperatures soaring to unbelievable heights in the UK right now, how many of us are doing that panicked dive towards the back of the wardrobe to pull out the clothes we usually reserve for foreign holidays? As the mercury rises, your usual Summer wardrobe of a t-shirt and cropped jeans just won't cut it. What you need are light and airy Summer dresses in lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen, which will see you through the scorching days without melting into a puddle.
We've hit the high street to round up some of the best options, from chic maxis that would work for the office, to strappy little numbers that'll look great thrown on over a bikini if you're lucky enough to be hitting the beach. Just add flat sandals, big sunglasses, and a boatload of SPF, and you're ready to face the day, even if it's 40 degrees.
