The slip dress, in the two colours everyone will be wearing this summer.

Oversized clematis blooms in rich chocolate brown, centred in acid chartreuse, drift across the softest pale ground and trail into a single graphic leaf at the hem — a print with the ease of a 1970s poster and the polish of something far newer. And the palette is no accident: chartreuse is the colour of the season, brown is the neutral of the year, and together they read current, never retro.

The shape is pure, modern restraint. A lean bias-cut column on fine adjustable straps, with a clean straight neckline — it skims the body and moves like liquid, following your curves instead of fighting them, which is exactly why a slip like this reads effortlessly elegant with almost no styling. One quiet tip: because a bias cut sits close, wear it over a seamless slip or with stick-on cups, and it falls perfectly smooth.

It's cut in a fluid fabric made for exactly this drape — the pour and swing a bias slip needs — and it shrugs off wrinkles, holds its colour through a week of sun, and packs flat for anywhere.

Barely-there, quietly expensive, and the easiest elegant thing you'll own.
