Just as we got used to dressing for the heatwave, the weather has cooled down, but not quite enough to have us reaching for jackets. Summer dresses are still a failsafe for cloudy days and the easier they are to style, the better. The Princess of Wales's Rixo polka dot dress ticks so many boxes and although she's only been seen wearing it once, it's instantly recognisable.
Kate chose this as her outfit when she took Prince George, Charlotte and Louis for their settling-in afternoon at Lambrook School in 2022. The pictures were everywhere and the Izzy dress quickly sold out in the copper and white colourway. Now it's back for 2026 and British clothing brand Rixo has nailed it with the £245 ruby red version.
