With Summer just around the corner, there's no better time than the present to stock up on some pretty dresses to echo the season's romantic mood. When updating your wardrobe, look for pieces like flowing frocks and powder-toned accessories, which fit the season's 'Dress Renaissance' theme.
To save you the time of trawling the shops, we've teamed up with McArthurGlen Designer Outlets to tour the UK and share some of our favourite pieces that will help you work this romantic summer trend like a pro. We spotted these garments on our recent trip to the Swindon Centre...
Skater Dress
French Connection, Was £225, Now £75 at McArthurGlen
As well as helping to create the effect of an hourglass figure, flowing skater skirt dresses are perfect for staying cool in the warm weather.
Two-tone Frock
Hobbs, Was £179, Now £120 at McArthurGlen
A classic two-tone frock that features universally flattering colours should be a staple in your wardrobe. Opt for one that's smart-casual, so that you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion.
Love Is In The Dress
Ted Baker, Was £149, Now £89 at McArthurGlen
If you think a summer romance may be on the cards, then maximise your chances of falling in love by wearing a flirty, romantic dress, like this high-neck pink frock.
Simple Wrap Dress
Phase Eight, Was £130, Now £69 at McArthurGlen
Flatter your figure with a wrap dress that hugs your body in all of the right places. This style is the perfect combination of figure-hugging at the top, but loose and flowing at the bottom.
Glitzy Heels

Tie your ethereal ensemble together with a pair of glitzy, metallic heels. Style and sophistication? Check and check!
Elegant Accessories
Hobbs, Was £99, Now £49 at McArthurGlen
No Summer evening outfit is complete without a pretty clutch bag, right? Choosing one in a versatile colour, like nude, will ensure that it pairs well with any frock you plan on wearing.
