New Lightweight Dresses Your Summer Wardrobe NEEDS

Long Tall Sally has knocked it out the park yet again this year, with a shiny new collection of playful prints and wearable pieces to suit every style. As always, every garment has hips, hems, pockets and plackets positioned with the taller women in mind. We’ve scoured through their newest additions to bring you the highlights of their latest collection, including lots of lightweight summer dresses as well as jumpsuits, skirts and tops too. No matter where you are when the sun comes up, Long Tall Sally will help you look and feel your absolute best!

Printed Chiffon Maxi dress comes in two options. The green palm print just screams tropical getaway and will inject some of the on-trend nature prints into your look with ease. Not only does this have a semi-fitted shape but it also has a waist seam and adjustable straps making it flattering on every body shape. The fully-lined, non-stretch fabric creates a comfortable silhouette which won’t lose shape when you wear it. Also available in a totally different pink print, which mixes muted summer shades of peach, teal and yellow to give an artistic look suitable for the beach and the bar.

If like us, you’ve been won over by palm prints this season, add this Cotton Notch Neck Tunic to your collection. It’s soft and comfortable, made with 100% cotton and makes casual leggings or jeans look a little more put together. Smart enough for the office but equally as appropriate for weekend wear.

For a dose of Riviera chic, we recommend this Striped Cotton Day Maxi Dress. Available in green or orange, whichever option you choose will surely become your most well-worn piece of the summer. Whether on holiday or staying at home, this floaty lightweight dress is easy to wear. The pretty tier detail takes an everyday dress and makes it extra special. Wear with your favourite sandals and a denim jacket for laidback sunny days.

For a slightly more formal option, why not slip into this Halter-neck Detail Sun Dress? It’s designed to fall effortlessly off the female form with a relaxed shape and draping crepe material. The shade of green is unmissable, and you’ll certainly light up the room when you walk in. From wandering around the local markets in a floppy sunhat to dancing the night away in heels later, this is a firm holiday favourite with the YCB team.

If you prefer a more natural pallet then this Halter-neck Detail Spot Sun Dress has your name on it. The classic tan colour is overplayed with this summer’s trending oversized spot print. The soft halterneck she and loose tying waist make this the most comfortable dress of the bunch. Simply throw on with your most stylish shoes and you’re good to go!

Speaking of polka dots, we had to mention this printed maxi skirt. This high-quality viscose skirt has an effortless look that you can style with all of your current pieces. Whether it’s a simple white t-shirt during the day or a silky cami at night, this is so versatile that you’ll find yourself reaching for it again and again. It sits naturally on the waist and has the popular wrap style and ties at the side, with a hidden button to keep it securely in place.

If trousers are more your thing, you’ll love Long Tall Sally’s Wide Leg Spun Trousers. These are one of their bestsellers and for good reason. The wide leg and elasticated waist will make these an everyday staple for you. Updated with a brand new monochrome pattern, we’d be wearing ours at every opportunity.

It wouldn’t be the holiday season without a brand new playsuit, and this little linen number has got us all fired up! More than just a plain black jumpsuit, this twist on a classic has the horn buttons that are everywhere at the moment. It also features a removable tie belt which can be worn at the front or the side. Wear with a different belt to create a totally new look for evenings, weekends or a day at the beach. Oh, and did we mention it has pockets? It’s the perfect jumpsuit!

In a similar style, there’s also this Pure Linen Short Sleeve Blouse in white or khaki green. A modern twist on the classic white shirt, this lightweight and airy blouse is a dream to wear in the warmer weather.

It looks effortlessly cool tucked into high waisted shorts but is just as practical to wear open over a bikini on the beach. The 100% linen relaxed fit makes is perfect for vacations, staycations and everything in between.
