Hattie Jersey Dress (French Connection, $168)
This dress is a classic. I love the clean lines, the mix of neutrals and the fit. I’d add a belt for more definition at the waist, and wear it with black tights and boots.
A classic dress deserves a classic cocktail.

Even though I have never tried one, I’ve heard that gin & tonics are delicious. The Kitchn has some tips for making a better gin and tonics, especially how to choose flavorful garnishes that complement the flavor of the gin. So if you like the G&T, check out the post. And if you have any gin and tonic tips that you’d like to share, leave them in the comments.

Use really fizzy tonic. Buy the smallest bottles you can (I like those little glass ones that come in six packs). Don't ruin your lovely gin with a 2 liter bottle of Safeway brand tonic.

To echo Aunt Pete, Fever Tree tonic. Their light tonic is great as well.
Amy says:
Fresh lime juice is best, but a splash of Rose's lime juice gives a G&T a light sweetness that I really like.

How have you never tried a gin and tonic?! (I don't mean that judgmentally — it's just that they're delicious; you're missing out!) Jaleo's revamped cocktail list has an entire G&T section, which has some interesting options.
Belle says:
H.: I have a gin allergy. Drinking a G&T would put me in the hospital.
Sally says:
How have you never had a G&T? totally lame.

Gins and Tonic, not Gin and Tonics
Valerie says:
Belle- have you tried making G&T recipes with vodka instead? My dad is not a big fan of gin, so at home we've substituted vodka in some of the classic gin cocktails.
Our current favorite for fall/winter is a clementine G&T (or V&T). Instead of adding lime to the gin or vodka/tonic/ice mixture, you add the juice of one clementine, two if it's a large glass. It's amazing.
Betts says:
The color blocking on the dress gives plenty of waist definition. Slapping a belt on would be overkill. And a very similar dress can be had from Zara for the low price of 79.90.
Ann says:
Agree with Aunt Pete! Personal favorite is Hendricks gin with cucumber instead of lime. Super refreshing in the summer
