Here at Who What Wear, we love dresses. From the best on the high street to the ones that are perfect for a wedding guest, as well as ones to wear for your big day, we've spent many an hour hunting down the chicest frocks. If you're an avid reader, you'll also know that we love street style. So what better way than to celebrate two of our great fashion loves than combining them? Over the course of New York Fashion Week and London Fashion Week, we've spotted plenty of midis, maxis and minis that have been styled in fun, adventurous and classic ways. Ready to up your dress wardrobe with these 50 street style pictures? Keep scrolling…
