The Best Button-Front Dresses to Buy Now

last updated 14 August 2019

I am a big believer in finding the pieces that work for you and staying loyal to them. It might sound a little ridiculous to buy one dress in three prints, but it's actually one of the best shopping decisions I've ever made. Two years ago, I bought Rixo's button-front Gwyneth dress in a blue-and-white floral print. It's seen me through three weddings, plenty of birthday dinners, and countless days at work. I am a "dress person," but out of the hundreds of styles I have tried on, this is certainly my favorite fit.

The button-down front, gentle V-neck, calf-length skirt, and slightly ruched sleeves make it a really flattering silhouette. I now own it in two more prints (a starfish and a white print covered in pencil drawings), and this trio is one of the most precious things in my wardrobe. Keep scrolling to see the dress that I'd happily wear every single day.
