The shorts trend that has sprung out of the catwalks and into the High Street seems inescapable these days, but fret not, we’ve found the perfect substitute for this summer.

Veronica Etro offers a vision of elegant nonchalance and effortless chic with fluid silhouettes that will keep our modesty safe come Ramadan, a feminine and romantic collection inspired by the Luxe Boho of the late Seventies.

These long breezy dresses – we have shortlisted our three favourite ones – are our must-have for this summer, the quintessential of laid-back sophistication, and a versatile outfit that will take you from day time (wear with sandals) to night time (with stilettos of course), from soirees to Suhoors.

Etro is available at the Dubai Mall.
