Summer dresses that are not floral?

I really struggle with summer clothes, I rarely wear dresses, I don’t really feel that feminine and mainly live in denim shorts, T-shirts, dungarees or combat trousers but I would like a couple basic summer dresses that are not ditsy and floral (most seem to be), pretty isn’t really my style, I’m more quirky and slightly hippie 😬. I am 5ft3”, size 12, broad shoulders, square bum but good legs, so would like a slightly above knee dress, plain colour (not pastel colours) and something I can wear a bra with.

Im probably asking for too much but has anyone seen anything that fits my description?

Just to warn you, I have this dilemma every year, can never find anything I really like and end up either not buying anything or I buy something then I don’t wear it.

Perhaps have a look at Kin, eg this or this.

I need some. Just cheap and cheerful, not £400.

Find me a basic summer dress says OP.

Here's one for nearly £600 says poster.

Basic doesn't mean cheap.

Basic doesn't mean cheap.

It doesn't mean £500 a shot either.
