Halter Neck Bohemian Maxi Dress

Long, loose and made for warm air. A halter neckline ties at the nape and leaves the shoulders and back bare, while the skirt falls in one relaxed line with room to walk, sit and stretch out in the sun.

The fit is generous through the body, so the dress moves with you from a midday swim to a shaded lunch. Worn over swimwear it reads as a considered cover-up; with flat sandals and a straw bag it holds its own at a seaside dinner.

The mood is bohemian without fuss: bare shoulders, a long skirt, a line that stays cool in the heat. Knot the halter ties high for a neat finish or low for a softer neckline, and add a woven hat for the walk down to the water.

It weighs 450 g, so it folds into a weekender without taking up much room.
