We love summer dresses with sleeves

Not everyone likes to bare their arms in the warmer months. Aside from the any insecurities we might have about this particular body region, there's something rather romantic and elegant about a lightweight sleeve wafting around your arms. Also it totally stops you from having to invest in a jacket or fine jumper, which negates the point of a summer dress entirely.

Pleasingly, the shops have some rather delectable options on offer - largely thanks to the Seventies trend, which has put the floaty tunic dress back in the spotlight.

Whether you're into hippy chic, prairie girl prettiness, ladylike lace or grungy cool, we've found the best 20 summer dresses with sleeves.
