We are big believers in buying less and buying well. A judiciously purchased new dress should not be a throwaway thing: instead, choose good quality and accessorise well to achieve a number of different looks and you’ll wear it for years to come. We love Wiggy Kit – founded in 2015 by Wiggy Hindmarch – for its versatility. Its dresses are beautifully detailed yet simple; they evoke the freedom of travel and yet are as suited to summer in the city as the beach; and they’re casual yet elegant.

The mid-length Saffron Dress In Ebony is a classic Wiggy Kit style: chic but with a nod to bohemia, hard-working but special. Here we demonstrate how to get as much bang for your buck with this oversized understated midi/maxi piece by achieving the same look on three different budgets.

Look One: High Street


The beach beckons when you style the Saffron Dress with statement earrings, leather braided sandals and a straw tote.




Look Two: Mid-Range


Casual yet refined, we love the Saffron Dress toughened up with studded leather sandals.




Look Three: High End


Chic, unruffled, relaxed: the ultimate beach-to-swish-restaurant holiday ensemble.
