We’ve got long sleeve and puff sleeve smock minis with relaxed fits and cute ruffle hems to wear loose or cinched in with a belt in paisley and floral prints, check prints and plain linen for an effortlessly carefree and casual look.

Choose from the range of short and long sleeve day dresses
Whether you wear them with sandals and wedges in the summer or boots and jackets in the winter, Sportsgirl new in day dresses are wardrobe must-haves that can be worn all year round.
Stay comfortable on warm days with sleeveless plain midis and short sleeve graphic midis with splits made from cotton fabrics that are lightweight and breathable. Style them with sandals or kick it up a notch with a pair of boots in the winter.
Long sleeve maxi dresses are made for cooler weather with a pair of knee high boots while our long sleeve mini dresses look amazing layered under jumpers and slouchy boyfriend cardigans.
Mini, midi and maxi dresses - the choice is yours
It’s the ultimate decision - mini, midi or maxi? The difference in all 3 lies in the length. Mini dresses hit above the knee and are a top pick for parties, beach days, weekend adventures and other fun, casual outings. Midi dresses fall somewhere between below the knee and above the ankle which makes them perfect for smart casual dresses that can be worn everywhere from cafe lunches to shopping to weddings. A high neck midi dress can take you from desk to dinner with a blazer, some heels and a cute bag.
Maxi dresses have the extra length to make them super feminine with a relaxed silhouette. Team them with heels or wedges and dress them up with jewellery for a night out with friends.

Adding a blazer or jacket to your dress
Blazers and jackets can take your AM dress and turn it into a PM dress or a business casual dress for work any time of the year. Give a floaty maxi or midi dress more structure by pairing it with a fitted blazer or jacket and teaming it with a belt to add more definition to the waist. Go for a blazer in a dark or neutral colour with a plain bag if you’re heading off to work. Mini dresses can be taken to the next level with denim jackets, faux leather jackets, oversized boyfriend blazers, shackets and coats for cooler days and nights.
