They’ve been around for a while, but they seem to be becoming the most popular dress around this spring and summer. If there’s anything that we want during heatwave season, it’s a comfortable and flowy dress we can wear from the beach to the bar. So, this article is dedicated to one of our most-loved silhouettes of all time; the smock dress.

Here are our favourite styles from the latest collection, all available to shop now at You + All.

If there’s one thing we’re loving this season, it’s tiered detailing. Smock dresses are known to adopt this technique, and it’s a sweet detail that adds a feminine touch. With flowing pleats from each level, the Sleeveless Textured Cotton Mini Smock Dress is one of our favourites. A flattering slim fit bust flows out into a beautiful smock skirt. Just pair it with a pair of flatforms and sunnies for a summer day out.

We always say it, and we’ll say it again. Linen blend dresses are our go-to in the summer months. So light and fresh, you can’t go wrong with linen no matter where you’re headed. Whether it’s grabbing drinks with girlfriends or a special date night, you can elevate your look however you please. The Wing Sleeve Linen Blend Button Smock Dress has a stunning V neckline and button-down detailing. Pop on some slides and a cross-body bag for a casual day look.

Embrace the girly look with some frills! One of the most feminine and elegant touches to any piece, frill sleeves and tiered detailing add a unique element to a dress. This Frill Smock Dress will be sure to get you compliments. Just pop on some nude strappy heels and layer some gold necklaces next time you’re heading off to a special occasion.

Last but not least, we had to mention a floral smock dress in this edit! This particular piece is as elegant as it can get. In a stunning vibrant red, it radiates feminine energy with the puff sleeves and flattering square neckline. Style with a gold chain necklace and nude heels for dinner out.
