There is a distinctly Francophile feel to today’s lunchtime buy as we covet the ever popular and tres cool French brand Sandro’s royal navy dual fabric dress.

We’ll level with you – we heart Sandro. Launched in 1984 by husband and wife duo Didier and Evelyne Chétrite, it’s been the go-to label for feminine Parisian chic ever since. We’ve heard that Alexa Chung is a massive fan, too.

This dress is exemplary of the alternative yet simple Leftbank style that the brand is known for. It ticks all the trend boxes for a start: colour blocked with royal blues and black? Check! Cute contrasting collar? Check!

Plus, the fit is totally flattering, with a soft silk that is snug and clings in all the right places. We’ll be wearing this with ankle boots and a big bright clutch. J’adore!
