JOHN LEWIS

Left: John Lewis Kin dress, £79. Right: Modern Rarity Eudon Choi dress, £140. THESE dresses may be from the same retailer, but in style terms they are chalk and cheese. The drop-waisted Kin dress (left) is a comfy summer piece, while the sleeveless column dress screams designer. John Lewis’s more grown- up Modern Rarity line, a favourite of Theresa May, has been working with designers to make unique pieces — but the basic range is more wearable.
