Square-Neck Linen Mini Dress

When it comes to keeping cool at the height of summer, ALÉMAIS knows a thing or two – unsurprisingly, since the fledgling label calls sunny Sydney home. Its advice for fluster-free outings? Stick to breezy fabrics and open cuts, like this fluttery mini dress. Woven from pure linen (the brand champions environmentally friendly natural materials), it's cut to a thigh-grazing length with a square neck and crisscrossing straps forming the back.

• 100% linen
