Fashion Fix: Strappy dresses are the answer to sweaty heatwave dressing

I don’t know about you, but all I want to wear in this heat are strappy dresses.

No, not the cute, figure-hugging kind… the kind that look more like loose-fitting sacks, than actual clothing. Take your waist-cinching corsets and mesh bodycons elsewhere, for I shan’t be wearing anything tight or restrictive in this weather. If it’s not very generously oversized and completely shapeless, then I don’t want anything to do with it.

Wearing no clothes would be the obvious solution here, but that’s not always a viable option, so dresses that could probably double as sails if filled with enough cold air, will have to do instead. Think loose, airy silhouettes in light, breathable fabrics – the less material, the better basically. Comfort is key here.

Thankfully, the highstreet has a bevy of suitable strappy dresses to help you beat the heatwave. Shop our edit below.
