A few months ago, I saw a stylish woman walking through the picturesque English countryside – okay, the Soho Farmhouse courtyard – wearing a girlish white mini-dress with black platform sandals and one of those ‘90s thick, black fabric headbands in her hair. As someone who almost never wears short dresses and definitely didn’t own one in white, I was surprised by how much I wanted to replicate everything about her look. Once my eyes were opened to the simplicity and versatility of the white mini dress, I quickly realised almost everyone in the Northern Hemisphere right now is already onto the trend, either styling them with loafers and socks to offset the angelic tones or leaning right into the ethereal with satin ballet flats. As simple as this look sounds, it’s not easy to find the perfect hero product: trust me, I scoured the internet before I typed in “white mini dress RIISE” into Google and was served the Hattie Mini Dress by Fredric. I love the feminine puffy sleeves and the detailing on the dress’ bodice that flows down into pleats on the skirt, which not only looks beautiful but accentuates the shape of the body – meaning the dress doesn’t hang off you like a sack (as I’ve seen many others do). I was equally enamoured with the more simple Marta Mini Dress, which is similarly flattering (and looks great when paired with loafers on the streets of Paris.)
