Late dinners al fresco, weekend getaways, over-air conditioned offices…as summer heats up, we’re gearing up to adjust our wardrobes accordingly. And is there a sartorial workhouse more powerful than the summer dress?
The trick, of course, is to lean into versatile styles to complement a fluid summer schedule: a sundress that transitions easily from morning meetings to after-work drinks, for example. Or a beachy coverup that’s still polished enough for a seaside dinner. For all of the above (and then some), we’ve got you covered with a roster of summer dresses that we’ve already added to our virtual shopping carts. Get shopping below—and cheers to sunny days ahead.
Mark our words: This slinky, mesh-lined number is guaranteed to garner compliments. The ultra-flattering cut hugs in all the right places, and we love the retro ‘90s-era print, too.
