We spent a day with Andrea, Personal Shopper here at Lookiero, so she could talk to us about her favourite dresses and how to wear them with style. "Versatile and timeless, the dress is the staple piece that never lets me down. This spring, flowing silhouettes are reinvented with ruffles, transparencies and light draping - I love it!"
This season’s dresses: between romantic and minimalist
This season, dresses are all about contrasts that somehow work beautifully together: ethereal romance meets refined minimalism.
On one side, romantic boho chic are being reimagined with floaty fabrics, organic prints and earthy, neutral tones—think beige, terracotta, mustard, off-white and brown—for an effortlessly elegant feel.
On the other, minimalism takes the lead with clean lines and sleek cuts that flatter without trying too hard.
At Lookiero, we’re all in: it’s all about how you play with prints, styling pieces and accessories to make a look your own. And the best part? You don’t have to choose just one. You can easily move between both styles depending on your outfit, your plans—or simply your mood.
3 dress looks for different occasions
With the right accessories and styling, a single dress can take you from your desk to drinks without a wardrobe change. The secret lies in how you wear it. Let’s see how Andrea styles her favourite dresses depending on the occasion (spoiler: her style is just our type!)—from a relaxed brunch to a sharp work meeting. Her styling tips? Trendy, easy and totally wearable.
Date night or dinner party dress look
The dress with the ‘wow’ effect
✨ Sophisticated: Just the thing for a date or fancy dinner.
💡 How to wear it: Add a trench for a polished look or throw on a leather jacket for a tougher edge.
🎨 Colours & prints: Bold floral prints in red and navy—romantic, striking and full of character.
👠 Shoes & extras: Strappy heels or ankle boots, delicate jewellery and a structured handbag.
💡 Extra tip: Want to dress it down? Swap heels for ballet flats and add a denim jacket.
Casual or brunch-ready dress look
Relaxed, chic and effortless
✨ Casual: Perfect for an easy-going day, a brunch date or a comfy work look.
💡 How to wear it: Pair with a chunky knit jumper for warmth and suede accessories for that soft-touch finish.
🎨 Colours & prints: A floral dress keeps it fresh and feminine—balanced with a neutral-toned jumper.
👢 Shoes & extras: Short or tall boots, a structured bag and simple jewellery.
💡 Extra tip: Use a belt and tuck in the jumper slightly to define the waist without losing the laid-back vibe.
Workwear dress look with style
For the office or wherever you go
✨ Business-casual: Great for a work lunch or a stylish office outfit. Minimal and versatile!
💡 How to wear it: Go for a denim jacket for a relaxed feel, or a blazer if you’re keeping things smart.
🎨 Colours & prints: A black and beige print is modern and chic—easy to dress up or down depending on your accessories.
👢 Shoes & extras: Go for boots for a fashion-forward look and a vibrant handbag for contrast.
💡 Extra tip: Rolling up your sleeves or adding a belt can really elevate your silhouette.
How to style dresses with jackets, jumpers and accessories
A dress can be the most versatile piece in your wardrobe—if you know how to layer and accessorise it right.
Jackets: trench, leather or denim
Jackets are your best friends when it gets chilly—or when you want to shake up your outfit.
For a refined look, opt for a blazer or a neutral trench—beige is perfect—especially over midi or maxi dresses.
Want more street style energy? A leather jacket works wonders with floral or lace dresses. That contrast of soft and edgy? Always a win.
Or if you’re after something easy and casual, a classic denim jacket is your go-to. It pairs with nearly every dress and brings a fresh, relaxed vibe to your outfit.
Oversized or knitted jumpers
Throwing a jumper over your favourite dress is one of those fashion hacks that feels like magic—and keeps you warm too! Try an oversized one and do a quick front tuck to create that “skirt + top” look. If your dress is more fitted, go for a lightweight or cropped jumper to keep the shape without sacrificing comfort. Bonus points for mixing colours and textures to add interest. One go-to: pair a slim knit dress with a matching cardigan. Minimal effort, maximum style.
The perfect shoes for every dress style
Shoes can completely change the vibe of your dress. A romantic dress with ballet flats or strappy sandals? Feminine and soft. Add white trainers instead? Suddenly it's modern, easy and daytime-ready. That same dress with chunky loafers or boots? Hello, edgy evening look. And for a longer-legged illusion? Wedge sandals or mid-heel options are your best friends.
Key accessories to complete your look
This is where your personality shines through. Feeling the chill? A lightweight scarf or silk neck tie adds style without compromising on function. If it’s properly cold, go for a thick, cosy scarf you can really snuggle into. And don’t forget the bag: a small crossbody for a casual day look, or a structured handbag for something more elevated.
