Seen in Majorca and London: The Timeless Dress That Appears Simple Yet Exudes Great Elegance.

      The new season has officially made its way into my home. It doesn't require much—just a few optimistic blossoms and a slightly warmer forecast—and I begin to shed layers and dig out all my spring (and yes, even summer) outfits, particularly dresses. If you frequent this space, you may already be aware of my love for dresses, and I closely follow dress trends throughout the year. In fact, for summer 2025, I've already spotted a frontrunner. After browsing through Instagram’s stylish influencers, I keep seeing one style pop up repeatedly, especially among those in London and holidaying in Majorca or the South of France: the drop waist dress.

      The drop waist design focuses on a lower waistline and comes in various styles—from comfortable elastic waists to more structured designs, and spans everything from casual daywear to more elegant choices. Personally, I’m fond of the maxi versions. Although some petite individuals might shy away from longer hemlines, I encourage you to embrace them—I always feel incredibly confident in maxi dresses. You might feel the same way! Keep reading to discover the best drop waist dresses for summer 2025. There’s a good chance it will become your new favorite dress style! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
