Maxi, midi, mini! Summer dresses are the ultimate companion for the off season. They are easy and breezy and take us from day to night and from the office to the beach. They’re flattering and a real mood boost when needed. From cotton and linen to silky and glittery. From white to multi-colored prints. Summer dresses come in every shape and color. Just like the ones who wear it. So this is the start of a three parts series on summer dresses. Stating with: Maxi!
Summer dresses are the ‘Good times & tan lines’ caption we wear out. They scream summer, are comfortable and effortless, and don’t take a lot of effort to style. Although they’re not an all season piece, they’re a true wardrobe staple. The one we feel comfortable in, will be worn season after season and the piece we grab for a garden party, a city stroll, a lake visit, and many other occasions, not to mention holidays. So the next three weeks, the blog is going to be all about summer dresses. Starting with part 1 – The Maxis.
Classic summer dresses
For a classic summer dress, go with a breathable material and a timeless color. Navy or black (and of course white) will be suitable for events, the office, and also work with most wardrobes when packing for holidays. Style the dress with mules from Flattered, a Loewe raffia bag, and Celine bracelets.

Elegant summer dresses
There are two ways to do elegance during summer – the first one is the clean look that plays with luxurious materials. The second one plays with drama. Drama in material or shapes. To highlight the dress style it with a few laid back pieces like sunglasses from Celine, a Bottega Veneta purse, and flats from Réné Caovilla.
