It’s Officially Warm—19 Dresses from Zara, COS, and Reformation That My Stylish Friends Are Subtly Adoring
When I checked the weekend weather forecast and saw that the UK was due for a “heatwave” this week, I quickly realized there was a gap in my wardrobe. With chunky cashmere knits and thermal layers taking up space, my lighter spring items felt distinctly insufficient—particularly in the dress category. This naturally prompted a virtual shopping spree. My first stops? Zara, COS, and Reformation.
Why do I require three brands to satisfy all my dress-shopping desires? Each brand offers something unique, collectively addressing every conceivable dress necessity. Zara is my go-to for affordable, trend-inspired styles. Think lace accents, polka dots, puff sleeves, and cinched waists—those easy, throw-on dresses that are just as suitable for everyday outings as they are for vacations. In contrast, COS embraces minimalism with a sculptural touch. Its dresses feel polished and subtly luxurious, emphasizing quality and timeless shapes that I know I’ll continue to wear year after year.
Then there's Reformation. When the situation demands something a bit more sophisticated, whether for a wedding, a party, or just a memorable moment, Ref is always my first choice. Its dresses strike the ideal balance between making a statement and being re-wearable.
