For reference I'm 5ft4 & typically wear a UK size 6.

For this look, I styled a coral red maxi dress from Reiss, featuring a beautifully full skirt and a light linen texture that feels perfect for summer. I’ve always loved a flowing linen dress for walking around the city on warm days because there’s something so effortless about the way it moves, especially in a vibrant colour like this.

The coral red tone instantly caught my attention because it feels bold, fresh, and full of energy without being overpowering. It’s one of those shades that naturally makes a statement while still feeling elegant and timeless. Against neutral accessories and soft gold details, the colour really becomes the focus of the look.

I paired the dress with ivory heels from Ingiliz, finished with a subtle gold heel detail for an added touch of elegance, along with my Ralph Lauren Mini Blaike Nappa Leather Shoulder Bag to keep the styling classic and refined. I also added my Louis Vuitton sunglasses, which tie in beautifully with the gold accents throughout the outfit.

To complement the coral tones even further, I wore Prada lipstick in the shade Flamingo, the perfect vibrant summer lip that pulls the entire look together. I love when a beauty detail subtly echoes the outfit because it makes everything feel a little more thoughtful and complete.

This is the kind of outfit I always gravitate towards in summer: lightweight fabrics, flowing silhouettes, and elevated accessories that make even a simple city day feel polished. It feels feminine, refined, and effortlessly put together, while still being comfortable enough to wear all day.
