Is there anything easier to wear than a dress when the temperature soars? They can be cool and comfortable, hot and racy and everything in between. Many dress styles hide weight (and bare legs) well, have pockets (who doesn’t love that!), and can accommodate many different heel heights and summer shoe styles, including sneakers and flip flops. Summer dresses can also be layered in many ways for extra temperature control. Here are our 5 Top Summer Dress Picks for 2023: #1 Loose Fitting Maxi As long as you style it properly, it will not look like a sack, promise! They add oodles of in-the moment style to your wardrobe, conceal weight and work for many different summer situations from day to evening and can look just as in place in the city as they do in the country. #2 Denim Dress Blue, white and every color in-between, denim makes a dress about as American as it gets. Choose a length and style that is best for you. Sneakers, summer boots, espadrilles and lug sole sandals compliment denim fabrics well. #3 Versatile Midi Dress them up, or dress them down, midi length dresses are great options for day to night, travel, and everything in between. Falling mid-calf to above the ankle, midi dresses can be effortlessly elegant. #4 Sport Dress If your summer entails pickleball, tennis, walks in the park or any type of athleisure activity, a sport dress can add polish and pizazz to this part of your wardrobe. Those with built in bike shorts are extra appealing! #5 Slip Dress Get your wedding (and many other special occasion!) on in a snap! The simple slip dress drapes over curves with simple sophistication. These light frocks can be elevated with beautiful colors, patterns and accessories. Last word: Summer dresses simplify many wardrobe woes. We’re here to inspire you to try out some new styles or reach in your closet and take advantage of your one-stop-shop dresses. We work with women and men of all ages both virtually and in-person. Email us or schedule a complimentary connect call so we can learn more about you and recommend just the right approach.
