Ok, so the quintessential British Summer dress code doesn’t normally involve black. But there’s no denying we feel great in the inky colour and anyway, it’s not everyday we have a heat wave. A good black maxi is normally in my suitcase for a Summer holiday (perfect for those pre-tan first couple of days) and a weekend away with the girls – especially if there’s dinner involved!

I love this little Missguided number with it’s lightweight fabric, dotty detail, ruffles and side split. Oh and did I mention it’s only £25? Worn with a strapless bra, it’s so versatile. Just wear with heels and a clutch for the night or flat slides and a saddle bag for the day. It got me in the mood for more detailed black maxi’s so here are my favourite…
