Elizabeth Day's minimalist dress is the style of the season
Whether you're looking for a dress for a special occasion or simply want to refresh your wardrobe with a few key pieces this season, there's nothing quite as joyful as shopping for a new summer dress. But if you're yet to find The One, we've spotted a style that is guaranteed to inspire you, as seen on Elizabeth Day.
The author and journalist was recently named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and she looked suitably stunning for the occasion. The How to Fail podcast host opted to wear a minimalist navy dress from London-based sustainable luxury label E.Stott, and, well, wow!
Captioning a carousel of pictures from the event, Elizabeth wrote on Instagram: 'A moment, please, for THIS DRESS which, aside from being so elegant and chic, HAS POCKETS. Truly the Holy Grail.'
There's something so alluring about a minimalist summer dress, but as Red Fashion Editor Jodie Dunworth says, 'don't confuse simple with boring'. The style worn by Elizabeth is the Darcy dress, £1,295, featuring a timeless scoop-neck, practical pockets and subtle darts through the bodice for a flattering fit.
Here at Red, we're also big advocates for wearing dark or black dresses during the summer months; they're ideal for transitioning from day to night and working with just about everything else in your wardrobe, or in your suitcase if you're heading off on holiday.
If, like us, you love Elizabeth's choice, the good news is that minimalist dresses are one of the key dress trends of the season, and there are lots of different designs available to buy right now.
'Small details such as a ruched bodice, asymmetric neckline or flattering waist have the power to transform this classic style from ordinary to extraordinary,' says Jodie.
