The noughties continue to influence the current spring/summer fashion trends of 2026, and one particular piece that I’m very happy to see back on the fashion agenda for the coming months is the colour block dress.
The colourful, panelled frocks were a huge hit back in the mid to late ‘00s, and were loved by A-listers and fashion fans alike due to how flattering they were on pretty much all body types. The well-placed seams and contrasting panelling had a clever illusion effect that created nipped-in waistlines and elongated silhouettes. Spotting a revival of the style on the high street, I was instantly reminded of the iconic dress that Victoria Beckham wore to Wimbledon back in 2014.
