15 chic new ME+EM pieces to add to basket now

For a twist on the ubiquitous shirt dresses that flood the rails every season, look to this understated ME+EM style with its pinstripes and pleated skirt. The embroidered lace on the sleeves gives it an elevated and elegant finish.

Crochet jumpers have been trending for a while now, and we love how easy they are to throw over vests as a layering staple. ME+EM’s fine-knit features intricate stitching, allowing glimpses of your base layer to show through.

ME+EM’s trousers are hard to beat if it’s feminine silhouettes that you love, from wearable high waists and nautical stripes to retro-inspired wide-legs. This style offers it all and is one you really will wear forever.

We can’t shop enough striped shirts for wearing everywhere, including as beach cover-ups on holiday.

Red Editor-in-Chief, Sarah Tomczak, has announced brown as her colour of the summer – and we think it should be yours too. ME+EM has given this A-line style a summery update by cutting it from a breezy linen blend. The best part? It has pockets!

The fisherman sandal is officially back, and it’s perfect for those who prefer a touch more coverage from summer shoes. Crafted from cream leather, this buckled style looks very similar to designer iterations.

Our deputy digital editor recently spotlighted ME+EM’s striped shirt dress as the stand-out style of the brand’s newest collection. ‘This midi balances the borrowed-from-the-boys appeal of a shirt dress with a few feminine touches: shorter puff sleeves and a tiered skirt, with the latter detail playing into the burgeoning boho revival,’ she says.

Looking for a comfy day-to-night dress for your holiday capsule wardrobe? Check out ME+EM’s navy maxi. We love how the brand has tapped into this season’s tank-top dress trend by opting for a jersey top and breezy cotton skirt.

We’ve waxed lyrical about the versatility of a good trouser suit, which is why we’re very excited to see ME+EM offering a new three-piece set for high summer. And it’s in the colour of the season: buttermilk yellow.

Knowing the UK’s unpredictable summer weather, it’s worth investing in a lightweight jumper to throw over pretty maxis or style with white jeans on chillier days. We love the baby-blue hue of this ribbed knit.

Every wardrobe needs at least one white summer dress, and this lightweight style’s gently gathered sleeves and twist detail makes for a timeless choice.

Minimalists, we’ve found your dream holiday dress. Made from textured cheesecloth with a shirred bodice, it’s comfy and chic in equal measures and set to be a mainstay in our summer capsule wardrobe.

We live in denim dresses year-round, but particularly in the transitional months. This style feels both timeless and of the moment, with its on-trend dark wash, patch pockets and swing silhouette.

Consider ME+EM’s elevated beach dress a wardrobe essential in summer. It will look amazing over swimwear (we’re picturing a black bikini and oversized straw bag), but will also look the part for picnics in the local park – just make sure to pack a cardigan.

Utility dressing is big this season, and we love ME+EM’s nod to the trend with these cool wide-leg culottes. Pair with cream knitted vests and oversized sunglasses for fashion-forward summer style.
