This is my most complimented dress this summer - and Sienna Miller is a fan of the look too
Unfortunately I don't have a huge amount in common with the incredibly beautiful and talented global superstar Sienna Miller - but one thing we do share is a love of a good brown summer dress.
The actress was recently snapped out in New York with Emily Blunt, wearing a rich chocolate brown dress that made her look more radiant than ever. With delicate tie straps at the shoulders and a glossy finish, the satin St Agni dress is definitely outside my budget at £481 - but that doesn't mean I can't take style inspiration from the gorgeous block colour of her outfit.
Brown might not be an obvious colour choice for summer, but actually it looks much softer than black, is great with a tan and much more suitable than white if you don't want to be covered in stains within 20 seconds of leaving your house. My go-to dress of the summer is the the Audrey midi dress from Aym in chocolate brown. In fact I've had so many compliments on it that I've found myself constantly sharing the link with various friends so they can buy it too.

At £129 it's not cheap, but the quality is fantastic, with a double-layered mid-length skirt and bamboo/cotton mix fabric that feels soft yet supportive. The shape is also amazingly flattering, thanks partly to the adjustable, lace up waist at the back. I'm actually tempted to buy it in a few more colours, because as far as I'm concerned, this really is the ultimate dress shape.
Anyway, back to brown dresses - and there are loads to choose from on the high street, starting from as little as £20. Here are some of the best...
