Summer is not the season for overthinking your wardrobe. When it's too hot to even wonder what to wear or which trend to sample, flowy dresses in laid-back fabrics are the answer.
Billowing dresses by the likes of Matteau, Johanna Ortiz, and Tove possess a graceful quality making for effortless, one-step outfits—just add a sandal and head out the door. To get more mileage out of your most romantic flowy dresses, a few choice accessories can take them into more buttoned-up environments. (That is, the office.) "Finishing touches are always important and fine jewelry is a great way to elevate any dress and steer away from the casual aesthetic," Liane Wiggins, head of womenswear at MatchesFashion, tells BAZAAR.com. Other fine tunings can add extra polish after selecting a statement earring or a diamond ring stack, like cinching a voluminous dress with a leather belt or offsetting a draped silhouette with a structured bag.
Then there's the footwear: Wiggins recommends a flatform sandal to toughen up the most romantic dress styles. "They are perfect in terms of comfort and a great option if you work in a city," she says. And if you're fully dressing up? "We also see our customers pair longer dresses with heels to give it a more formal feel."
Try out every styling approach—the understated, the sophisticated, and the everyday—on the 19 flowy summer dresses ahead.
Shirred Triangle Maxi Dress
An Aperol spritz shade plus a deep, plunging neckline equals a flowy dress that can go casual or formal. (We'll wear it both ways.)
Adolphine Lace-Trimmed Ombré Cashmere-Blend Dress
If you're looking for a flowy dress that's still somewhat streamlined, Wiggins says this, from Gabriela Hearst, is one of MatchesFashion's most popular this season. The cashmere blend is soft and breathable (and ethically sourced), while giving the standard slip silhouette an extra dose of movement.
Cannes Open-Back Tiered Embroidered Cotton Midi Dress
Rixo puff sleeves look so good dotted with hand-embroidered flowers. But this flowy dress's best feature is its open back with criss-crossing straps, the better to take in the sun.
Joni Dress
Few designers are as committed to the notion of a perfect day dress as Ulla Johnson. From runway floral dresses to solid cotton staples like this tie-waist dress, this label's pieces are always infused with daytime sensibility and romantic movement. Cinch this navy dress with its coordinating belt or let it drape on its own. Read More...
