Kendall Jenner Just Wore the Throw-On Dress Trend That's All Over the High Street Right Now

Even when strolling across the seafront in Ibiza, Kendall Jenner is never off the clock when it comes to styling the season's most important trends. Taking her keen eye for fashion to the Balearic island, the model transcended basic beachside style with the help of a carefully-chosen dress trend this week.

Layering a black-and-white striped knit dress from Australian brand Dissh over her black bikini, Jenner’s beach cover-up added a stylish and sophisticated edge to a casual combination. Selecting a style that fell to the ankle and skimmed the body, Jenner’s dress trend imparted an understated yet elegant silhouette that helped her look put-together under the hot Spanish sun. Working its way into the suitcases of those I look to for style inspiration, the striped knit dress trend has become a major player in fashion people’s wardrobes—and not just for the summer months.

Styling her monochrome maxi with rectangular sunglasses and a large black handbag, Jenner's outfit proved how elegant a simple striped dress dress can look. Although Jenner chose to wear hers with atop her black bikini for the warm climate, when autumn rolls around the trend will look just as good styled over tights with tall boots, or worn with a vintage leather jacket and Mary Janes. In fact, it's worth keeping an eye out for styles with sleeves—last year an Arket version sold out before the season even hit.

They are a mainstay in many a wardrobe but I've noticed a slew cropping up across the high street. I've found elegant versions of this new-season trend at Marks & Spencers, H&M, and & Other Stories, as well as across designer labels including Zimmermann and Cara Cara.
