Before the summer season started, I had dreams of waking up early and meticulously planning each outfit to ensure I looked polished in the warm weather. However, it will be unsurprising to learn that, two heatwaves in, this plan has completely gone out of the window. Now, I’m only interested in easy, throw-on pieces that feel effortless without compromising on elegance. The best summer staple for this? A dress, of course, and recently I’ve been spotting both a particular high-street iteration on both fashion people and editors alike. And if you’re a minimalist like me, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s anti-trend, elegant and, most importantly, requires little effort to style. Enter With Nothing Underneath’s linen mini dress.
Made from 100% linen and created in 5 different colours, With Nothing Underneath’s mini dress collection contains 2 different silhouettes: the Jackie dress with a round-neck tailored style and the Sloane, which comes with a flattering low V-neckline and shift body. Both dresses are lightweight throw-on styles that can be dressed down for the day with flat sandals and a raffia tote, or up for summer evenings with a pair of kitten heels and a statement clutch.
After spotting my fellow Who What Wear editor, Florrie, in the red Sloane dress, I’m now fully convinced that it’s the perfect addition to the effortlessly chic capsule wardrobe I’m aiming to recreate for 2026. Not to mention that the timeless silhouettes of both dresses ensure that they’ll last in my wardrobe for many more summers to come.
