Lockdown dressing can be compared to a Rubik's cube.
Nothing ever really quite matches, you feel as though you're never quite winning and it just ever-so-slightly winds you up.
I come bearing a remedy. A healthy addition to everybody's wardrobe who shares this fashion apathy is the oh-so-forgiving 'throw-on-and-go' dress. A dress that skims the excess corona-weight that's found its way to our waists and hips, a dress that can literally be thrown on and achieves the illusion of sartorial prowess.
For those amongst us who are relying on a rotation of the same three greying t-shirts and workout leggings to roam around our homes in for yet another day, the baggy, throw-on-and-go dress is the item that your wardrobe is practically gasping for.
There are brands who have perfected the everyday style: Ganni, Rotate by Christensen Birger and Faithfull The Brand all have easy-peasy numbers on offer, and now it's time for you to familiarise yourself with the item, which will change the way you look at getting dressed each morning.
Whether you opt for mini or maxi, short-sleeved or long-sleeved, style yours with cowboy boots, trainers or sliders, here's a style of dress so nonchalantly cool that it requires no other embellishments. Belts? Forget it. A blowdry? Not needed. A bag? Only if you fancy it.
A baggy, throw-on-and-go dress that skims the sins of lockdown (our new-found passion for baking has certainly made its presence known on our hips.) Here are some of the best.
