I Live In Dresses – This Is The Chic Style I'm Wearing All Summer
While we've already told you about the black and white & Other Stories polka dot puff-sleeve mini dress we've seen on so many fashion insiders, there's a new style in opposing colours that we're seeing a lot of, and it's all thanks to French label Sézane. Creating a white and black linen-mix mini in the key print for 2025 was a clever move, but creating one that has multiple styling opportunities is genius. Below, content creator @maggie_mccormack shows how the A-line dress looks worn with the scarf tied around the neck as a halterneck. But, with the scarf detail being removable, it's more versatile than you may originally think.
Sézane Rosabella Dress
The dress that needs no further introductions – enter: The Sezané polka dot mini dress that's already proving to be the style of the season. The cut, the neckline detail and the light linen material are all part of what makes it a best-seller for summer.

French fashion insider @morganewaquez got creative, removing the scarf detail and draping across the neck to tick off the spring/summer look of the season. Dresses with scarves are a wedding guest favourite, but we love to see it worn as part of a holiday-ready outfit with sunnies, chunk flip flops and a beaded bag. A monochromatic look can do no wrong in our eyes.

And if you want to get more bang for your buck from these £165 Sézane dress, you could also remove the scarf and wear it as a simple bandeau. One dress, three ways to wear – of course this summer winner is already selling out fast so you'll have to be quick to get yourself one. Prefer longer lengths? There's also a black and white midi version and a brown and white maxi style you may also want to add to your wish list. Along with our edit of the other best Sézane dress styles this summer has to offer, it's time to get the French girl look we all admire.
Sézane Rosie Dress
If you're sold by the print of the polka dot Rosabella mini but prefer a midi length, you'll want to meet Rosie. Longline and straight-cut, this sleek spotty dress with side split and comfy shirred back detailing is one not to miss.
Sézane Welissa Dress
If polka dots aren't your vibe, you can always rely on classic leopard print to liven up your warm-weather dress collection. The square neckline with crossover straps at the back makes it 360-degree perfection.
Sézane Pearline Dress
Firstly, yes you can wear a black dress in summer. This Broderie anglaise version with its tie-front and scalloped-hem detail will easily be your plus one to brunch plans, dinner dates and after-work drinks.
Sézane Clotilde Dress
Here to romanticise the timeless white shirt dress, the ruffle collar and hemline is giving that Parisian boho vibe to an otherwise simple dress. No doubt you'll want to style this with knee-high boots and a suede jacket come autumn, too.
Sézane Dorothe Dress
How good would this checked dress with subtle floral print look down the streets of a European city break? Complete with ballet flats and an oversized straw bag, of course. Perfection.
Sézane Eliora Dress
If you have a beach location wedding to attend, or you're just planning upcoming holiday outfits then you'll want to pack this Sézane hot pink mini. The silk fabric and golden hardware elevates the one-shoulder style so it's ready for any fancy plans.
Sézane Fiorella Dress
Summer sequins are having a moment, and this pretty pink dress is an easy way to try out the trend. Not only will it work across the year for so many occasions, 100% of profits from these dresses sold on the first Wednesday of every month will go to Demain (the organisation supporting breast cancer survivors).
Sézane Giuseppe Dress
We couldn't complete our guide to the best Sézane summer dresses without, you guessed it, another polka dot style. Brown and white spots will always remind us of that Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman dress, and we love this fresh take with spaghetti straps and floaty maxi length.

Hollyoaks 'quietly recast character' as they return after 3 years
A Hollyoaks star looks set to return to the Channel 4 soap. Hollyoaks appears to have recast a fan favourite character, who is due to return to the beloved Channel 4 soap. After three years, character Faith Hudson is set to return, if social media clues are anything to go by. Faith, who is the daughter of Liberty Savage (Jessamy Stoddart), first appeared on screen in 2020. She was later played by two twins named Elsie and Lyla, and was last seen in 2022. However, it's now been reported that producers have chosen child star Lottie Tatton to take over the role. Faith has been absent from Hollyoaks in recent years, and was staying with her uncle Denis (Joe Tracini) in New Zealand. However, Denis has been killed off screen, so Faith will be returning to reunite with her mum. Lottie's new role has been revealed on the Facebook page for The Drama Mob, an acting school run by fellow soap star Tina O'Brien, who is best known as Sarah Platt in Coronation Street. The page announced: 'A huge well done to our fabulous Lottie who has just made her debut on Hollyoaks playing Faith Hudson! 'Lottie has been part of the Drama Mob family since she was born - her mum is one of our amazing teachers Jenna! 'We're so proud of her and know she's going to absolutely smash it! Well done Lottie!' Fans rushed to share their support, with one writing: 'Love this. Well done Lottie, you little star.' Another said: 'Well done wee madam, you done superb.' A Hollyoaks fan page on Instagram also shared: 'Lottie Tatton has joined the cast playing Faith Hudson, the daughter of Liberty Savage and Brody Hudson. The last time we saw Faith she was just 2 years old, now at 5 years old what will Faith get up too?' 'My face lit up when i seen her im excited to see how she blossoms liberties character is just amazing,' one follower replied. Another said: 'I've been wondering where she's been and noticed the recent at nursery comment which I guess was leading up to her debut.' This comes as a dramatic storyline involving Faith's mum Liberty has been exposed. According to Metro, her affair with Jez Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) is due to cause a stir, having already caused some controversial moments. Earlier this year, Liberty dressed up as her dead mum (Jez's ex) to try and get him to fall for her, with her plan working, though Jez continued planning his wedding to John Paul McQueen (James Sutton). As if there weren't enough secrets, lies and deception so far, the Hollyoaks' summer trailer revealed Jez having been a serial killer for years and finally being caught - but will he get what he deserves?

I turned my grubby, spider-ridden shed into a bright & beautiful summer house – a £4.50 B&Q buy made a huge difference
But social media users were keen to share their suggestions of how they would have transformed Medina's shed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DIY enthusiast has given her grubby, spider-ridden shed a mega makeover without breaking the bank. Now, Medina Grillo, who is known on social media as 'Grillo Designs', has a bright and beautiful summer house that's perfect for hanging out in. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A DIY fan has revealed how she transformed her messy shed into a stunning summer house, all whilst staying on a budget Credit: tiktok/@grillodesigns 2 Medina Grillo also shared the cheap B&Q buy that was a must for brightening up the once very dark space Credit: tiktok/@grillodesigns So if your shed is a dumping ground full of rubbish, but you're eager to transform it into the perfect book reading space for sunny days, then you've come to the right place and will need to listen up. Posting on social media, Medina gave her followers a close-up look at her "tiny" shed prior to its overhaul into a jaw-dropping summer house. But what was once a dumping ground, packed with tins of paint, garden bits and even a bike, has now been given a fresh new look - and we think it's super impressive. Showing off the shed's step-by-step transformation, Medina said: 'First I moved all the garden stuff into this large storage container, then I cleaned - there were so many spiders.' Following this, she added: 'I spray painted the inside white to brighten up the walls, next I remove the weeds from the pathway - not a fun job but it had to be done.' To add colour to the summer house, the content creator used the Rust-Oleum Chalk White Matt Multi-surface Exterior Topcoat Paint, which you can buy in a small 125ml tin from B&Q for just £4.50. Once painted and the weeds were removed, she explained: 'I kept the inside of the summer house pretty minimal with an outdoor rug, this gorgeous wooden bench, a picture frame, some cushions, a side table, and I also added some outdoor plants around the door.' Thrilled with the finished summer house, Medina continued: 'The result is a peaceful corner of my garden that I can now enjoy, what do you think?' The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @grillodesigns, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has racked up 121,900 views, 4,516 likes, 111 comments and 378 saves. Social media users were impressed with Medina's stunning summer house overhaul and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. I'm a single mum sick of soft play costs so turned my shed into a mini one One person said: 'This is such a good idea!' Another added: 'Love this so much!' The white really made it look finished, and I love the hanging pot TikTok user A third commented: 'It's so cute!' Meanwhile, someone else simply penned: 'Perfection.' Do I need planning permission to convert my shed? CONVERTING an existing shed or outbuilding into a self-contained living space will usually require you apply for planning permission. However, there is a "loophole" Brits can use to convert outbuildings into a tiny home without permission. Planning expert Martin Gaine from Just Planning warned the conversion process is far easier than you may think. Speaking to The Sun, the Chartered Town Planner of 14 years' experience explained: "An outbuilding can be built using 'permitted development rights', meaning it does not need planning permission. "As long as you comply with the various restrictions and conditions." One of these is that the outbuilding can only be used for something 'ancillary' to your main living accommodation - examples include storage, a gym or a pool room. If the outbuilding is existing, converting it then into primary living accommodation IS allowed. Martin explained: "This is because internal changes to an existing building are not considered to be development at all under the Town and Country Planning Act. But like anything, there is one catch. The new living accommodation must still have some connection with your use of the main house. For instance, if your gran is living out there, she must still come into the house to eat. Whilst another beamed: 'How perfect to enjoy the garden in the rain! The white really made it look finished, and I love the hanging pot.' But at the same time, others were keen to reveal the changes they would have made to Medina's shed. I would put a mattress instead of the bench TikTok user One user wrote: 'I would put a small soft sofa with mini paintings and tiny plants or maybe a small fireplace.' A second chimed in: "I personally feel it would be more cosy and space savvy to put floor pillows instead of a bench for seating?' And someone else shared: 'I would put a mattress instead of the bench.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club
