This Patou "Pareo" dress comes in a gorgeous pearl blue, a really nice shade. It's got that classic shirt-dress shape, complete with a smart collar and long sleeves, so it looks pretty put-together without being too fussy. The tie-waist is brilliant because you can cinch it in for a more defined look or just leave it a bit looser if you're going for something relaxed and comfy. The midi length and regular fit make it easy to wear all day. The fabric feels crisp and fresh, which is exactly what you want as the weather gets warmer in spring. It’s one of those pieces you can throw on with heels for work, making it feel a bit smarter, or keep it totally chilled with some trainers for weekend brunch. It just works for so many different occasions.
