Fashion people are pretty much my guiding force. I turn to my favorite group of stylish women whenever I'm in need of some inspiration, whether it's what to wear with my jeans or which new trend to buy into. Lately, I've noticed an uptick in outfits that feature one rather chic and sophisticated dress, and now it has my full attention. Meet the Daphne dress from our namesake line. It's easy, elevated, and effortless all in one, and as I'm highlighting below, it's impossible to look bad when wearing it.
Not to sound biased or anything, but Who What Wear Collection is kind of a gold mine for easy-yet-elevated pieces—basically everything is designed to have maximum wardrobe-staple potential, and the Daphne dress is certainly no exception. After combing through all the cool styling ideas I've seen in my feed, I felt compelled to try the dress out for myself. I just ordered it in both colors—a stone-beige hue and a deep charcoal—and can already tell it will become my new staple.
Ahead, see how fashion people are wearing the Daphne dress, and shop it in both colors.

See how fashion people are styling it:
For the daytime, flat sandals and classic accessories speak for themselves.
Taking the belt off gives it more of an effortless and relaxed vibe.
Strappy heels and a mini bag are all you need to dress it up for a spring or summer evening.
My favorite thing about the Daphne? The beautiful soft cupro cotton fabric it's made from that's woven in Japan.
While I'd argue it's a year-round piece, the lightweight feel and easy silhouette make it a wardrobe staple for warmer months.
Flat sandals pair flawlessly, especially the fisherman sandals that are trending for 2022.
A wide waist belt transforms it into a completely new dress.
Layer on a cardigan or cropped jacket for a chic finish.
The ruched neckline and belt detail deserve a closer look.
More chic and versatile pieces:
Something about this dress exudes European-summer energy.
It doesn't get any more stunning than these buttons.
And yes, you need the skirt to complete the set.
Another fashion-person item I highly recommend.
ICYMI, we brought back our best-selling Drew dress in a pretty new floral print.
The definition of effortless.
Pretty from the front, trendy from the back.
This color is just too good to pass up.
A summertime must.
Another plissé dress because, frankly, we're obsessed.
I can't tell you how many compliments I get when I wear these.
Easy, effortless, and supremely comfortable.
Vacation vibes.
I love when something blurs the lines between pajamas, loungewear, and ready-to-wear.
Our spin on the '90s staple.
Did someone say balletcore?
File under "expensive-looking pieces."
For zero-effort days that hardly look it.
