Nobody wants to look like a tourist, even if you are on holiday. Fortunately for you, I’ve found one foolproof way of making sure you blend in like a local – by shopping at Uniqlo beforehand. Long considered a go-to for every European fashion person in the know, Uniqlo has earned quite the reputation as the place to head to for excellent basics, thanks to its quality fabrics and designs that feel more timeless than trendy – ready to be worn in Spain, Italy, Greece (or pretty much anywhere with warmer weather than the UK). The latest Uniqlo darling to catch my eye? Its Linen Blend Camisole Dress.

The appeal of the dress goes far beyond its floaty cut – although the shirred contoured waist is what makes it particularly flattering. Made from a lightweight linen blend that will keep you cool as we head into warmer weather, the dress is ideal for the events a city break is likely to throw at you; sightseeing, dinner reservations, trips to the beach. Uniqlo has nailed the finer details in its Linen Blend Camisole Dress too, with features like adjustable shoulder straps and side pockets – proper, roomy ones that fit your phone and keys in – which feels like somewhat of a luxury.

When it comes to styling, keep the outfit simple by pairing the black colour with flat sandals, a raffia tote bag and 70s-style coloured aviator sunglasses for an easy daytime look. To smarten the dress up a little, throw on a lightweight bomber jacket (Zara has a particularly good olive green linen style) or tie a chunky knit around your shoulders and finish the outfit with low kitten heels. To style the orange hue, balance the boldness with pared-back accessories like a pair of tan or black flip flops and a wide hat. Alternatively, if you’re leaning towards the baby blue, contrast the whimsical colour with black biker boots or cowboy boots and a cardigan.

Although Uniqlo might not be the first brand that comes to mind when you think of dresses, like Uniqlo’s other offerings, its dress section is just as wearable and makes sure you look put together with almost no effort needed. Reviewers agree too, commenting that they ‘love this flowy dress’ and that it’s ‘perfect for warm days’ – proving the Linen Blend Camisole Dress is easy to style, easy to wear, and even easier to pack.
