Everyone knows that summer is all about denim, from denim jackets to denim shorts and, of course, the Y2K-coded denim skirt. This year, though, there's another denim must-have to add to your rotation: a denim dress! And yes, you can double – or even triple – up.

Yep, there's no such thing as 'too much denim' when it comes to SS26, as we're seeing denim literally everywhere, especially in the form of dresses. In particular, drop-waist dresses are a flattering, easy way to wear the trend, and Primark just dropped another must-buy in that department.

The Cotton Denim Drop Waist Midi Dress is – as the name suggests – made from 100% cotton. That means this dress is the ideal way to wear denim this summer without getting too hot and sweaty on your commute to the office... or, you know, brunch with your besties. We know which we'd rather. Wink.

As well as that flattering drop-waist, the length of this dress will suit literally everyone and can be paired with all manner of shoes, be it a chunky sandal, a cowboy boot, or an on-trend wedge heel. The dress also features contrast brown stitching to add even more summer vibes to your aesthetic. What more can you ask for, especially when you're spending less than £30!?

If you're heading out for a picnic in the park or jetting off on holiday, pair it with a cute straw hat, like this Primark Woven Bucket Hat, and a matching bag. PSA: we're obsessed with this Woven Crossbody Bag from Primark's Paula Echevarría collection. Alternatively, for an office-appropriate outfit, wear it with an undone white linen shirt and accessorise with this Primark Faux Leather Canvas Buckle Belt that'll perfectly match the brown stitching on the dress!
