The weather is hotting up, and so is the style! Picking the perfect summer day dress can be a little tricky. Summer dresses come in all shapes and sizes, and everyone can expect to find a flattering style among the pieces available in this summer's collection. As we are all looking for a dress that is easy, trendy, and enjoyable, here are my top tips to help you find it.
The maxi dress is really a must have and will flatter most shapes and will take you from the beach to a barbecue party. If you are not sure what size of pattern suits you then go for a medium size such as this maxi dress from Jane Norman. Accessorise it with a short cardigan or bolero in a colour that will complement the dress and your complexion, and wear it with gladiator style heels, wedges, or flat pumps.
For ultra comfort style, go for a looser style such as this cute grey dress from Pia Boutique in Loughrea. Super flattering for anyone who is concerned about her midsection or hips, it will also make you look taller. Team it with either wedges or sandals. It will also work well with stylish trainers. You can also wear a fine t-shirt, in a contrasting colour, underneath if you feel like covering up a little.
This stunning dress from Colette Latchford is a must if you are going to many occasions this summer and next. It is great for showing of a shaped waist and if you are blessed with lovely legs. Team it with a blazer to give you extra shape. As the dress has busy patterns, the key is to keep the accessories demure.
I love this fabulous dress from Regis Boutique. The vertical dots will elongate any figure and the v-neckline will be perfect on a large bust. It is best worn with a jacket or a trench coat, and finish the look with elegant peep toe heels and a clutch.
Before hitting the shops, remember to try out a lot of styles before you commit to one dress. A summer dress can last you several months or, if you pick a classic style, even years. You don’t have to limit yourself to one summer dress, pick one, two, or three! Above all, make sure your summer dress fits your occasion and personality, and gives you the chance to experiment with new looks.
