We don’t know about you but our minds are already firmly fixated on our upcoming summer holidays, which, of course, means it’s time to start thinking about seaside style.

It can be a tricky look to nail – you want to be comfortable but stylish, cool but unfussy – without looking like a sailor, but we’ve got a solution.

French Connection has taken out all the legwork and created the ideal dress to take you from pool to bar. You’ll appreciate the slouchy fabric in warmer weather, but its the delicate detailing that draw us in.

The drawstring waist will flatter your figure and the buttton fastenings and stripey print will fully encompass the classic nautical trend – wear now with tights and a trench and with sunnies and sandals to look poolside-perfect come spring.
