Simple style: The Tea Dress

lsykes July 11, 2014

Read our potted history of the tea dress in July’s issue of The Simple Things? Have a little look at our top dress and shoe combos.

The tea dress is the dress of the summer - the British summer, not the continental one, that is. It's about egg sandwiches, vintage china, white gloves and rose gardens. A dress to be accessorised with a cardi when it gets chilly, or a pair of wellies when tramping through festival mud, not for posing on la Croisette or lounging beside an infinity pool.

In July's issue of The Simple Things, we pick our top three tea dresses, and here are some footwear ideas to go with them.

Tea dress style - three outfits, from left to right:

1. Peacock print tea dress, £74.99, Fever

Salt Water sandals, £49, Toast

2. Pansy print tea dress, £29, Topshop

Blue Posh Wellies, £49.95, Joules

3. Classic crepe 1940s dress, £95, 20th Century Foxy

Summer brogues, £65, Clarks

Turn to page 24 of The Simple Things July issue for more tea dress style. Buy or download your copy now.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
