So, it’s apparently summer? And whilst we file a missing persons report for the sunshine, we’re still on the hunt for the perfect outfit that’s cool enough when temperatures reach 15+ degrees but warm enough to banish that charming ‘summer chill’. Thankfully, we’ve found a strong contender that comes A-list approved. Enter, this navy knitted ME+EM dress, expertly worn by Katie Holmes.

ME+EM has already established itself as a fashion-pack favourite and one of the Royals’ sartorial secret weapons – note Kate Middleton’s bubblegum pink shirt dress. Celebs aside, you might also have a certain ME+EM white maxi skirt on your radar, spotted on multiple occasions by our eagle-eyed fashion assistant, Gavrielle Weiss, that’s still top of our summer shopping list.
But what makes this dress so perfect? For starters, it’s knitted. I’ve always loved the comfort and versatility of a knit dress and this navy ME+EM maxi is no exception. Smart enough to wear to work – just wear with ballet flats, a neat leather handbag and a oversized blazer an easy office-friendly win – but relaxed enough to wear with flip-flops and sunnies for days out and about, this is one hard-working wardrobe hero. Take note from Katie Holmes and pair this navy maxi with A.P.C’s white pointed pumps, a strong red lip et viola, you’ve got yourself a ready-made outfit.
