Given the temperatures are now firmly locked in the 20s for the foreseeable future, we’ve officially started our hunt for the perfect summer dress to spend the season in, and happily, there’s plenty to choose from on the high street. From linen midis aplenty to the butter yellow dress trend co-signed by celebs including Kendall Jenner and Kate Moss, social media algorithms are bursting with endless inspiration. The latest frock contending for the top spot this summer? Albaray’s animal print midi dress, which sells out every year and is back for another viral moment in the sun.

For the uninitiated, Albaray is something of a well-known secret amongst London’s best dressed with icons such as Claudia Winkleman and Holly Willoughby often sporting the brand’s contemporary designs. The dress in question is the V Neck Cotton Midi dress which has just been restocked for SS25. The frock’s most obvious point of attraction is the trendy all-over leopard print which offers a cooler alternative to spring’s classic florals. But it’s the comfortable construction that truly sets it apart. Crafted from crisp organic cotton, the midi dress features a slightly oversized empire line waist and voluminous blouson sleeves. The best part? It comes with pockets roomy enough to store all your essentials without disrupting the silhouette.

It’s the perfect relaxed ‘wear everyday’ dress that’ll take you from the office to a weekend brunch with ease. Simply style it with your favourite trainers or ballet flats and you’re good to go. It’ll also work well with Chelsea boots and a warm wool coat for a seamless summer to autumn transition. With a plethora of excellent reviews and a track record of selling out consistently for the past few summers, this is a dress you’ll find yourself reaching for on repeat. Get ahead of the curve and shop it before it’s gone for SS25 again.
