Dress season is officially here, and regardless of your plans, there is always a dress for the occasion. From weddings to holidays and birthday celebrations - we know how daunting finding the perfect summer dress can be.

If the Spring/Summer 2024 catwalks are anything to go by this season is all about self expression. If you're a minimalist channel your inner 90s siren or if monochrome is off the cards, then be inspired by Marni and Stella McCartney who introducing 3D appliqués from flowers to pompoms onto dresses. If you want to make a statement then Chet Lo's metallic minis are for you, and who could forget Schiaparelli's red tube dress styled on Kendall Jenner for more party season inspo.

I don't say this lightly, but the high street also has some incredible occasionwear options this summer - with many great options under £350. Just recently, brands like Baobab, Sau Lee, and Siedrés have released impressive Spring/Summer 2024 capsule collections, and I mean it when I say these are worth the investment.

As a nod to this season's biggest trends, expect bright scarlets, cut-outs, sheer textures, and floral appliqués. From chic black dresses to classic floral patterns, I've curated my expert edit of the best 30 occasionwear dresses under £350 - to add to your cart now.
