Beach Dresses & Playsuits

A stint in the sun calls for dresses and playsuits. As well as capturing the sea breeze (vital for beating the heat), these reliable one-pieces are easy to slip off when you’re changing into swimsuits and fold handily into your beach bag. 

Explore our suitcase-friendly array of women's casual summer beach dresses. Relaxed designs are cut from airy, breathable materials, including cotton, linen and silk, which feel wonderfully soft against the skin. Choose between mini, midi and wafting maxi lengths, depending on how much leg you wish to bear. Discover off-the-shoulder beach dresses for women with billowing sleeves, which fully embody summer insouciance. Select square, high or plunging necklines and look out for charming design details such as tiered hems, ruffles and lace detailing. Throw on a shirt dress after a dip in the water or style with wedges when visiting the pool bar.

Peruse lightweight beach playsuits for women, spanning halterneck, flared sleeve and T-shirt styles, with waist-cinching wrap silhouettes. Traverse a whole world of paisley and floral prints, as well as riotous retro-inspired patterns. For minimalists, we have languid cuts in palette-cleansing white, ivory and beige, as well as subtle Henley stripes. Enhance the summer aesthetic with sandals and woven accessories – perhaps even a tropical cocktail?
