3 Ways to Wear: The Fit and Flare Dress

The fit and flare dress has been a style fixture in our wardrobes for several years now, taking us effortlessly from the office to the weekend. As well as being renowned for its versatility, this key piece has also long been hailed as one of the most flattering shapes we have to choose from, thanks to its close-cut bodice and flouncy hemline. To inspire your style for the season ahead, we show you three ways to wear this fashion favourite – no matter what your week has in store.

Weekend Lunch

Selina Stripe Coat, £159 | Cassidy Fit & Flare Dress, £69 | Destiny Leather Camera Bag, £49 | Mira Ankle Boot, £69 

For weekend lunch dates, the stylish pairing of a fit and flare dress with ankle boots perfectly blurs the lines between casual and smart. A simple across-body bag offers the ideal hands-free solution for strolling around town with a coffee to go, while the addition of a lightweight coat helps keep cool spring breezes at bay.

In The Office

Sakura Sparkle Scarf, £19 | Cassidy Fit & Flare Dress, £69 | Sammy Workwear Tote, £39 | Hazel Court Shoes, £45

Thanks to their softly structured design, fit and flare dresses make an ever-chic addition to your nine-to-five wardrobe. Elevate yours with classic court shoes and a smart work bag, adding a scarf in a lighter shade to lift the mood of the look.

Date Night

Lizzie Biker Jacket, £249 | Cassidy Fit & Flare Dress, £69 | Sakura Sparkle Scarf, £19 | Emma Block Heel Mule, £49

Whether you’re heading out for dinner-and-a-movie, or whiling away the evening at a wine bar, a fit and flare silhouettes provides the perfect foundation for a date night look. Break the style rules with a blue leather biker,  and add extra height with a pair of must-have mules.
