Lucy Dresses

We've got a best friend called Lucy. She's cool, easygoing, and has a keen eye for playful prints. And there are plenty of reasons we like to keep her around. Our Lucy dresses can do errands and eveningwear without breaking a sweat, with lots of patterns and materials to choose from. Great with trainers for a brunch date and extra fancy with some long suede boots, look to our women's shoes for the finishing touch. For cooler moments, add a layer to your Lucy dresses with our women's jackets (don't worry, you can still show off the skirts). The V neckline creates space for a statement necklace, which you'll find in our collection of women's jewellery.

How to Style the Lucy Dress

The Lucy Dress: Your Questions Answered

The Lucy dress is a signature White Stuff style designed for everyday comfort and versatility. It features a flattering, relaxed fit, soft fabric, and practical side pockets. The design focuses on being easy to wear, making it a reliable choice for casual weekend outfits or a smart-casual workplace.

You can style a casual day dress for the office by adding structured accessories and smart footwear. Layering a tailored blazer or a neat cardigan over the dress instantly elevates the look. Swap out casual trainers for leather loafers or low block heels to ensure the outfit reads as professional and put-together.

Ankle boots, flat trainers, and low heels pair perfectly with a midi-length dress. Because the hem falls between the knee and the calf, keeping the footwear relatively low maintains a balanced proportion. Flat white trainers give the dress a relaxed, sporty feel, while leather ankle boots provide a smart contrast for the autumn and winter months.

Layering a dress for winter requires adding warmth without creating excess bulk. Start with a pair of thick opaque tights and knee-high boots for your bottom half. On top, wear a thermal long-sleeve t-shirt underneath the dress, or layer a chunky cropped jumper over it to define your waist while keeping the cold out.

Cropped jackets and longline coats are the best outerwear choices for an everyday dress. A cropped denim or leather jacket sits neatly at the natural waist, highlighting your shape and balancing the longer hem. Alternatively, a long winter coat that falls to the same length as the dress creates a clean, streamlined silhouette.

Yes, the Lucy dress features built-in side pockets. This practical detail is a signature element of many White Stuff dresses, adding everyday convenience without disrupting the clean lines or the flattering drape of the skirt.

Wearing a slip underneath your dress is the most effective way to stop it from clinging to your tights in winter. You can also lightly mist the inside of the skirt with an anti-static spray before putting it on. Choosing dresses made from slightly heavier fabrics or those with a relaxed, A-line cut also helps prevent static build-up.

Wash your everyday dress on a gentle machine cycle at 30°C using a mild detergent. Turn the garment inside out before washing to protect any prints and keep the fabric surface smooth. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as heat can shrink natural fibres. Instead, reshape the dress while it is damp and let it air dry naturally.
