Summertime is ideal for outdoor parties, exotic vacation romances, and fashion experiments, but not every fashionista has the right amount of time and patience to catch everything just in time. This fashion mission gets even more complicated when your closet is overcrowded with not suitable for summer dresses. It is time to free some closet space and substitute a pile of dresses with four basic styles for every important summer event. Today, I've picked for you four essential dresses that will make your summer life easier and more stylish.
Summer Beach Dress
Let us start with a summer beach dress, which is one of the most important fashion items, particularly when you are on a shoreline. For maximum versatility, choose a beach dress, that you can wear on and off the sand. A simple floor-length dress with a floral print and made from a lightweight, breathable material is one of the best variants. You can wear it with a large beach hat made of straw or cotton fabric and sandals at the seaside. Combine your dress with statement jewelry and stylish wedges to wear at night.
Summer Casual Dress
The next summer dress on the list is the most comfortable and relaxed casual dress to wear during the hot summer day. The two most important criteria for a casual summer dress are natural material and comfort. You should feel free and comfortable in your everyday dress. Jeanie Cheek, a New York-based wardrobe stylist and costume designer recommends wearing cotton, linen, or bamboo for lightness and breath-ability. When choosing an everyday summer dress, pay attention to the style and cut of the model. Try to stay away from extravagant prints and bold embellishments, instead go for a simple knee-length dress, that you can combine with other items in your closet.
Summer Work Dress
Summer lasts for three months and hot weather, in some parts of the world, can last even longer. Unfortunately, most of these months we will be working, that's why it is hard to imagine a fashion arsenal, without a proper work dress. First of all, summer work dress should look neat and professional. Stuffy weather tempts us to show more skin, but avoid wearing shorts, mini skirts, and shirt shirts. Always keep your business outfit traditional and respectable. Don't forget about the appropriate underwear — nude undergarments always work best for both light and dark colors.
Summer Party Dress
Saving the best for last, it is time to talk about summer party dresses and how to wear them. Here applies the only small and simple rule: choose the one you like the most! Fashion trends come and go, but your personal style will last forever. For a summer cocktail party consider a feminine mini dress with soft floral motives. Going out with your friends to a BBQ party? Then something more casual, like a bright shirt dress with a pair of sneakers will work great.
Lots of love,
