You might have blitzed Netflix's Too Much sitcom series, written by Lena Dunham and noticed the main character loves a nightie. Well, she's one of the many who are bringing back the staple nightwear. John Lewis & Partners reports searches for "nightdress" are up 21% and sales are up 14% - and JL's £34 white seersucker nightie is the most popular this summer. Advertisement Other high-end brands have seen an uptake in sales, too. And it's not just for after dark - celebrities Sabrina Carpenter, Bella Hadid and Rihanna are wearing nighties as a part of their summer wardrobe. The best bit? They're perfect for heatwave weather when you need something light and breathable and, most importantly, don't want anything sticking to your skin.

I've paired the dress with red ballet pumps and floral necklaces to complement the print, added a sturdy bucket bag and finished the look off with tinted sunglasses and a gorgeous raffia bucket hat. This summer look would work just as well for a Euro getaway or a garden party as it would for a casual shopping day. I love how versatile this dress is, although it's slightly more expensive at £135, it is a piece that you could style all year round.

However, I'm fully on board with this boho-inspired trend that's come just in time for the heatwave. This dress from H&M ticks the nightwear box with its sheer fabric and fluidity - even if it's more A Christmas Carol than 50 Shades Of Grey - and for me, it has to have sleeves, and I love the addition of the petal detailing. Advertisement I wear mine with a pair of simple straight-cut jeans underneath and continue the nod to boho with suede and my favourite Next flip-flops and slouchy grab bag from Dune. Sometimes I wear a belt to create more definition in my silhouette, but when it's hot - no, thank you. Topped off with brown sunnies and I'm ready for the sunshine.

Fashion editors share their secrets to being the best dressed guest from £23
Occasion season is well and truly on the horizon and the high street is jam packed with fresh summer arrivals. And with every wedding invite or save the date comes the inevitable dilemma, what to wear? Advertisement What's appropriate and how to navigate the dreaded dress-code. Whether you're heading to the races, attending a wedding or celebrating a special birthday, finding the perfect outfit on the high-street can seem a near-impossible task. So we've hit the shops early and picked out some of our favourite finds, from as little as £23 to give you the inspo you need to be the best-dressed guest this season. Top tip: snap up your summer gems now, because come July, the rails will be packed with knitwear!

Step forward this gorgeous two-piece from John Lewis. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous I love the oversized A-symmetrical print which I think makes it look really expensive. The kimono-style sleeves and wide-leg pants feel really elegant, but they are also so comfortable because they have a drawstring waist, so are perfect for overindulging on tapas! I've added white accessories - this JD Williams bag also has an oriental vibe with the faux tortoise shell handle, and I can dance all night long at a late night bar in these TKees flats… Bring it on! Advertisement Abby McHale, 30, Deputy Fashion Editor 4 Abby's outfit for the races would work for lots of occasions this summer Credit: The Races Blazer, £69, River Island - Dress, £60, Joe Browns - Bag, £100, Mango- Shoes, £35, ASOS - Earrings, £150, Monica Vinader - I love dressing up for all kinds of occasions, but this year I'm heading to the races. I would never normally think to go to the likes of Joe Browns for dressier occasions, however the brand has a lovely selection of dresses, including this floral halterneck one. Advertisement Pink and green are great together and scream spring/summer, plus the fabric on this dress is so soft. I've popped a blazer over the top to give me an extra layer for the unpredictable British weather, and added this fun beaded bag from Mango, along with some ASOS gold heels. While I'll be sporting this outfit at the races, you could also wear the dress to any other occasions you have this summer - in fact, I've already worn it once on holiday! Emily Regan, 25, Fashion Assistant 4 The viral Primark dress is back in store in lots of different colours for the new season Credit: Advertisement A summer wedding Dress, £23, Primark - Bag, £160, Cambridge Satchel - Shoes, £38, River Island - Bracelet, £40, COS - I loved this Primark bow dress when it launched in black as part of Rita Ora's range last year. It went so viral that I was unable to get hold of one, so I was thrilled to see that they've brought it back for summer in new colourways. Plus, I think it'll be a piece that I reach for time and time again, as it's so wearable - and would be a great option for everything from the races to a wedding guest, or would look equally as lovely as an evening outfit on holiday. Advertisement If you're less keen on hot pink, then fear not as Primark has also released it in a cream and floral print. Plus, there's even a midi-length that's only £32, but be quick as I think they'll fly off the shelves. I've finished off the look with my go-to bow heels from River Island and this gorgeous rattan bag - it's a little bit more on the expensive side, but a great investment that's ideal for special occasions. Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor 4 Clemmie is a fan of butter yellow, the colour of the season Credit: Advertisement A Christening Jacket, £69, M&S Collection at Marks & Spencer - Skirt, £79.99, Zara - Bag, £49.99, Mango - Shoes, £42, River Island - Watch, £149, Abbott Lyon - I'm in my Christening era of life - I have two this year - so I want a one-and-done outfit. This season, you can't escape butter yellow on the high street - and I'm loving it. The M&S three-piece suit was a hit at the beginning of the season, and the blazer is a winner for spring. Advertisement I'll be wearing mine as a top on its own, so I don't have to worry about what's happening underneath - plus it's great for cinching me at the waist, while the exaggerated shoulders help this further by making a more defined hourglass shape. Paired with this amazing linen wrap-style skirt that looks like something from designer Thom Browne, the deconstructed, falling-apart style is what sets it apart from the rest of the high street's midi-skirts. Paired with tonal accessories, like this pearlised bag and a hint of yellow in my shoes, and I'm all set. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor AS someone who's no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it's about time that celebrities started catching on too. For as long as I've been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those 'I have nothing to wear' moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect. And I'm definitely not alone - on any Friday or Saturday night, you'll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time. But no matter what, Primark always delivers. Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores. While Rita's not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she's proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less. Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham - if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards. With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I'm sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
