English dresses are very fashionable, cute and colourful. They are known to display patterns or to be entirely colourful. Ideal to wear in spring or summertime with a long trench coat, they add style (and joy!) to your look. They have been popularised in the 1960s, also known as the Swinging 1960s, a period during which beehives and societal changes were rocking people’s lives. Essentially transpiring of Britishness, English dresses are absolutely rock’n roll. Supermodels such as Kate Moss wear them with great ease.
Here are 10 English dresses to wear this season.
