Summer Dresses

Posted on July 6, 2014 by Style By Kim xo

The best things about summer fashion is cute summer dresses.  We all love frocks.  Well, firstly, they take all of 10 seconds to throw on, and to be totally honest it just feels so good when the wind blows around our legs on a hot sticky day.This year, there’s a lot to look forward to: the summer dresses of 2014 will be full of bright colours, bold prints and flattering silhouettes.  If you don’t like the new shapes of the summer season, there’s always the good ol’ maxi dress, a tried and true classic.

So, to help you clear our your wardrobe to make room for cute, warm-weather outfits, I trolled the Internet for my favourite summer dresses. Feature dress is from Stillwater The Brand.  Get it here.

1) The Flared Dress: This dress is a really cute and fun day dress.  A great option if you have a bit of a thicker thigh as the A-line will make your legs appear smaller at the top.  Alway a good thing.  A good tip to remember if you have a short flared dress, keep the top high.  You can show legs or a bit of chest but not both or you risk loosing your class appeal. Find this dress here. Some other great options here, here and here.

2) The Maxi Dress – The tried and true summer dress.  The Maxi is multi-purpose, great for a beach day, throw it on for shopping or heading out in the evening.  Add a Jean jacket if it gets cool and a pair of great gladiators and you are good to go anywhere in style.  This is one of my favourites by Anine Bing, find it here. Some of my other favourites here, here and here.

3) The Tank Dress – Easy, casual fun and a bit edgy.  Throw on a tank dress any wear. This dress does well doubling as a beach coverup, paired with flip flops or add a cool pair of shoes for an eving of dinner on the deck at a restaurant patio. Find this one on sale here.  Other Tank Dresses here and here.

 

4) The Flower Print Dress – One of my new favourites.  I just bought the cutest Splendid flower dress.  Easy breezy and screams summertime. I love this one, find it here.  Other Favourites here, and here.

5) The Classic White Shirt Dress – I am not going to lie, I have a few of these in my closet.  I pull them out for day or night time events that require a casual but more classic look.  It’s a bit more of and east coast flair than I usually sport but I like it. I  add a pair or edgier sandals or cute pair of ankle boots to break the preppy nature of the ensemble.  This is on of my favourites that I have in my closet, you can find it here. Others here and here.

I hope you enjoyed all of my favourite dresses! Happy Shopping!
