Livia Pintuck Maxi Dress

The throw-on dress that looks anything but. The Livia's pintucked yoke — fine vertical pleats across the chest adds quiet structure and a long, elegant line to a breathable linen-cotton maxi that skims rather than clings. A touch of polyester means it resists the creasing pure linen punishes you with; deep side pockets mean it's as practical as it is pretty. One piece on, sandals or heels, and you're instantly put together. In six colours, from quiet neutrals to a pink worth being seen in.

• Pintucked yoke — the detail that lifts it from simple to considered
• Breathable linen-cotton blend — soft, cool, skims the body
• A touch of polyester — resists the deep creasing of pure linen
• Deep side pockets — genuinely practical, easy to live in
