Striped Oasis Dress

It’s not every day you stumble across a maxi dress that’s had a little love affair with effortless ease - but here it is, somehow whisking together equal parts comfort and chic. This one is for the days when you want something more than a T-shirt but less than a tight dress that would make you hold your breath every time you pass someone on the street. Those are high-pressure situations, let’s be honest. This dress isn’t tight, structured, or even remotely clingy. It hangs off your body in the most forgiving way possible, while still giving you some shape so you don’t feel like you’ve just rolled out of bed.

First of all, the arm holes and neckline are cut high enough to keep everything where it belongs. Good on them for that! The classic horizontal stripes (beautifully spaced apart) do what stripes do best - look timeless and give you just the right amount of lift. Made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane jersey, it’s got just enough stretch to move with you rather than against you. A subtle slit at the hem means walking is a breeze, and makes sitting cross-legged anywhere (even if it’s public transport) no longer a risky proposition.

This is the kind of outfit that makes vacation packing so much easier. Even if those holidays are still only happening in our heads or at our local beach.
