The all-purpose ‘must-have' dress style made for work and play this summer
IF you're going to invest in some new summer staples this season, put the shirt dress at the top of your list. It's incredibly versatile - smart, stylish and perfect for so many occasions, whether you're heading to the office on a warm summer's day or dressing for a day trip to the coast. A shirt dress truly is a wardrobe hero that will never go out of fashion - think of it as your summer sidekick. Plus, the high street is currently full of options, from fitted silhouettes to looser, boxier styles, so there's something to suit everyone. Here are the Fabulous Fashion Team's top picks and how to style them. Clemmie Fieldsend, 34, Fashion Editor 4 Making the most out of an item and being a style chameleon is easiest when you have a shirt dress, and this oversized beige one from Arket has the versatility for endless summer outfits. Worn on its own with sandals, like this stunning pair from New Look with gold detailing for just £22.99, it's perfect for holidays or when things hot up in the UK. For a more defined silhouette, you can also belt it with a tonal brown colour, and this one from Stradivarius with stud detailing is a nod to designer Khaite's £530 version. Or, you can unbutton it to the waist with a vest top underneath, and slip on a pair of black linen trousers, which makes the perfect flight outfit - then you can just whip off the bottoms and be ready for that holiday heat when you land. Wherever you're going or whatever you're doing, this is my must-have for summer. Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant I love the cinched waist detail of this shirt dress as it adds some structure, and I'm also really into the poplin-style skirt as it gives such a lovely shape. It's also incredibly versatile - I've styled mine for the beach with raffia sandals, a matching sun hat and a gorgeous hand-made bag from The Jacksons. But you could easily dress it for work with a pair of loafers and a structured tote bag. It's even perfect for a relaxed day at the races. The blue and white stripe is a classic that'll stand the test of time in your wardrobe. Tracey Lea Sayer, 53, Fashion Director 4 As someone who borrows from the boys all year round, shirt dresses are my absolute go-to for summer in the city. They feel chic, smart and ultimately keep you cool while whizzing around on the tube and enjoying a spot of sunbathing on your lunch break. This year, rather than opt for my usual Oxford stripe dress, I've gone for a navy linen shirt dress because I want to try something completely different! I am going to wear it over a pair of white wide-leg dress trousers for a grown-up feel, and a look that will easily take me from day to an after-work event. I like sticking to the 'rule of three' - three colours, three textures and three accessories always make the perfect combo! Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor Having a fuller bust can sometimes make shopping for shirt dresses tricky, as they can often gape open. However, over the years I have found that sizing up does the trick. Most shirt dresses come with a belt like this one from Reserved, so even if you size up, you can always maintain your shape with the belt. I've kept this look pretty tonal, mixing in other neutral shades, but I've added interest to the look with a striped tote bag and paisley neck scarf. A shirt dress really is one of the most versatile items in my wardrobe - for example, I'd wear this to the office, out on a weekend and even on holiday. Plus, they are a classic that comes back year after year, so you know you're always going to get your money's worth. Why the high street still rules! Fabulous' Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer shares her thoughts. I WAS 10 when I first discovered the utter joy of high-street shopping for clothes with my mum and nan. Going into town on Saturday became a family tradition – a girls' day out we would look forward to all week. My mum's favourite shop was M&S, where she would gaze at jackets with big shoulder pads and floral sundresses, while my nan would make a beeline for John Lewis and their classic coats and elegant court shoes. I was all over Tammy Girl – Etam's little sister – and Chelsea Girl, which was later rebranded to high-street fave River Island. I would spend hours in the changing rooms, watched keenly by my two cheerleaders, who gave the thumbs up – or thumbs down – on what I was trying on. Frilly ra-ra skirts, duster coats, polka dot leggings, puff balls, boob tubes… I tried them all, often making my nan howl with laughter. Fashion wasn't so fast back in the 1980s and every item was cherished and worn until it fell apart – literally – at the seams. At 18, I went to art college and my tastes became more refined. Extra cash from a part-time job in a bar meant I could move on to slightly more expensive stores, like Warehouse, Miss Selfridge and the mecca that was Topshop. I knew at this point I wanted to work in fashion because the high street had totally seduced me. One day, I wrote an article for a competition in a glossy mag about my love of retail therapy and my favourite LBD – and I won! That led me to where I am today – Fashion Director of Fabulous. It's not just me that loves the high street – big-name designers are fans, too. When Cool Britannia hit in the '90s, they all turned up in one big store. Designers at Debenhams was a stroke of genius by Debenhams CEO Belinda Earl, designer Ben de Lisi and fashion director Spencer Hawken, who introduced diffusion ranges from John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson, to name a few. This meant we could all afford a bit of luxury and wear a well-known designer's signature style. Years later, I hosted a night with Debenhams and Fabulous for 250 readers, who were in awe meeting all the designers. It was a real career highlight for me. In 2004, H&M started rolling out their international designer collabs. Karl Lagerfeld was first, followed by Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons, Balmain, Versace and many, many more. I could barely contain myself! Then in 2007, Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop, with thousands queuing along London's Oxford Street. I remember sitting behind Ms Moss and Topshop boss Philip Green at a London Fashion Week Topshop Unique catwalk show. I had my three-year-old daughter, Frankie, in tow and we both made the news the next day after we were papped behind Kate, my supermodel girl crush. At the time, the high street was on fire. Who needed designer buys when Mango stocked tin foil trousers just like the designer Isabel Marant ones and you could buy a bit of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary brand Biba from Topshop? High street stores even started to storm London Fashion week. Although Topshop Unique had shown collections since 2001, in 2013 River Island showed its first collection in collaboration with global superstar Rihanna, who was flown in by a friend of mine on a private jet. KER-CHING! A whole new generation of high profile high street collabs followed. Beyoncé created Ivy Park with Topshop's Philip Green and I even flew to LA for Fabulous to shoot the Kardashian sisters in their bodycon 'Kollection' for Dorothy Perkins. I am pleased to say they were the absolute dream cover stars. Fast forward to 2024 and while the high street doesn't look exactly like it did pre-Covid, it has made a gallant comeback. Stores like M&S, Reserved and Zara, and designer collabs like Victoria Beckham X Mango and Rochelle Humes for Next are giving me all the feels. The supermarkets have really come into their own, too, smashing it with gorgeous collections that look expensive, but at prices that still allow us to afford the weekly shop. The last 30 years of high street fashion have been one big adventure for me. Bring on the next 30!

The high street costume jewellery that looks luxe (from £16.50)
In case you hadn't noticed, gold prices are skyrocketing. Good if you own some and could do with a little liquidity. I'm finally considering selling a bracelet handed to me by my grandmother, who died in 1997. Every time I see it sitting unloved in my jewellery box I feel guilty. I should invest in a piece that I actually like, and remember her every time I wear it. Or maybe buy something else – a beautiful classic chair for instance. Because just as the world's economic woes have made buying real gold prohibitive, the high street has stepped into the breach with some amazing costume jewellery, if you know where to look, leaving room in the budget for other priorities. Market leader in terms of bold statements is Maison de Zahah, as some have jokingly taken to calling Zara, making it sound like a fancy Middle Eastern in-the-know atelier. Many of its bigger pieces are really innovative. Resin ring, £17, and earrings, £22, Arket And big is where jewellery trends have taken us currently – ideal for zhuzhing up a minimalist dress or making linen appear evening-worthy. Larger pieces are also perfect for holidays: they won't take up much room in your luggage, add fun permutations to your capsule wardrobe, and should you lose them, the pain is bearable. For a retro splash, Zara also has parures (matching necklaces and earrings). Very Truman Capote's 1966 Black and White Ball, which arguably revived society balls – at that point considered quaintly obsolete. You probably won't need much else, apart from maybe a ring. While it's fine to mix metals and cross genres – kitsch with earthy, rustic with baroque – these looks are harder to pull off. But that's not to say it can't be done. Statement floral earrings, £35, Mint Velvet You'll probably have your own views on what looks cheap and tacky, and what doesn't. Big, badly produced slabs of glass pretending, unconvincingly, to be diamonds, are where I'd draw the line. If you don't look good in Liz Taylor-style jewellery (it's a burden I share with you), then the cheap variety isn't going to look any better than the expensive kind. Some faux pearls – but by no means all – can look very plasticy. For metals, too shiny is a dead giveaway. That's where hammered textures come in – they dull the blinding glint of inexpensive metals. The framework around stones ultimately determines whether your bargain looks haute or not. I find cheapies don't generally have great claw settings. Gem-free metal pieces and shells, raffia and stones on simple ribbons or leather cords are among the better buys (and particularly fashionable this summer). Mixing high with low helps raise the tone of everything. It's also very Coco Chanel. Look after the bargain buys (try an inexpensive bronze cleaner and wrap in tissue paper or hankies to stop pieces scratching each other) and they will look after you. Lisa wears: Linen dress, £185, Jigsaw; Suede belt, £95, Me+Em; Leather mules, £225, Russell & Bromley; Recycled-brass hoop earrings, £19, Cos; Sculpted necklace £57, and cuff bracelet Mint Velvet.

The best linen trousers on the high street are just £47 – and they sell out every summer
I don't know about you, but when the mercury starts rising, the last thing I want to do is wear anything remotely restrictive – especially not in a heatwave. I look for easy, breezy staples to throw on and help me look stylish no matter what my day involves, be it a stint in the office or a picnic in the park. On a sun, sea and sand holiday, this need intensifies, and chic comfort reigns supreme. Enter linen trousers – the one hero piece I really do live in every summer – and in particular, Arket's bestselling pair. H&M's sophisticated sister brand has long been my go-to for linen, but its the straight-leg striped trousers that sell out every year without fail. Priced at just £47, they come in either black and off-white stripes (my favourite as they go with everything), or blue and white. There's a block beige pair and a thicker pink striped style too. Predictably, some sizes are already flying off the shelves (again), but there's still stock left at the time of writing, so snap yours up before they all go. What I love about Arket's linen trousers is how versatile they are, making them a key component of any hard-working capsule wardrobe. The elasticated drawstring makes them easy to pull on and off, and there are side pockets for stashing your essentials when popping to the shops. Though obviously relaxed in style, these do-it-all trousers can easily be elevated with a crisp white shirt or lacy blouse, and they go with all shoes from sandals to trainers. Or, on holiday, you can just tug them on over a swimsuit for a beach bar lunch. Other high-street linen trousers we love? Marks & Spencer stocks a very affordable range priced at just £27.50. Or, try Boden's ever-popular Westbourne style in 11 different colours and patterns. COS never fails us either, particularly for neutral trousers that feel smart enough for work. It's these Arket pairs we always turn to, though...£47.00 at at at Expect to see these Arket linen trousers everywhere this summer, just like every year... and with very good reason! In need of some more styling tips? We love how stylist and former personal shopper Emily J. Bull has been wearing hers...
