Summer Dresses to Wear All Season Long 

Summer Dresses to Wear All Season Long 

The sun is out, the weather is warm, you’re in desperate need of a simple, elegant solution to still looking great and beating the heat all at the same time. Summer is the ultimate time to keep cool, comfortable and feel your very best, and the best way to do that? Summer dresses. Dresses are the perfect solution to staying nice and airy, feeling amazing and keeping the styling time to a minimum. Here are a few staple styles you need if you’re on the hunt for some perfect summer wardrobe additions this season.

Cottage core mini 

Picnic style dresses are just a dream for the summer. They’re feminine and romantic, they’re comfortable and they’re all kinds of chic. You can’t get much better than this cut when you’re looking for something that’s going to make you feel gorgeous no matter your shape or style, too. Look for puff sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and an a-line flared skirt to get this style perfect. You can hunt for delicate floral prints in soft rosy hues, a gingham print or a solid white or cream to keep it classic – whatever speaks most to your style!

Off the shoulder staple

Off the shoulder or Bardot dresses are such a great option for showing off your shoulders and neckline in a refined and feminine way. These can come in cotton poplin or crepe to really lean into the structured yet delicate cut of the piece, or look for ruffles, lace or sheer tulle to get a little romantic with it. Put your hair back, slip on some espadrilles or sandals and you’re good to go for any event, day or night.

Creative cut outs 

A cut out dress is great for summer, in fact, there’s no better time of year for it really. If you’re looking to upgrade your event styling, a cut out dress is the way to do it. Look for a bold and bright tone to draw some added emphasis to the unexpected waist, neck or back cut outs of your favorite style. The best thing with this option is that it gives you an impactful look in a matter of seconds, zero extra effort needed!

Cute and coordinated 

Co-ords are a great investment, because you’re getting a matching complete outfit that looks beautifully seamless when styled together – and you’re getting a separate top and pants, skirt or a pair of shorts that’s going to play well with the classics in your wardrobe, too! A cropped top style will break up your silhouette, extend your vertical line and make you feel fresh and ready for endless hours in the summer sun.

One shoulder straps 

The one shoulder dress has taken the fashion world by storm, and for good reason! This style is cool, a bit unexpected and has plenty of room for styling potential while doing pretty much all the work for you with a bold yet feminine silhouette. Look for a ruffled or layered one shoulder style for a dreamier feel or opt for a solid structured piece to let the shape of your dress do all the talking.

Any one of these summer dresses is going to serve you perfectly all season long. Plus, they’re all timeless investments that you’re going to love styling year in, year out.
