Style Unlocked: Best Dressed for Summer
With just nine days left in May, it’s officially time to rotate, reorganize and refresh your wardrobe for go-to “fits” in preparation for the dog days ahead. Yes, it’s going to be hot — but let’s focus on the bright side, shall we? Summer style is all about breezy, casual, unhurried vibes, and nothing captures that energy quite like a summer dress.
From maxi to mini, evening to loungewear, the summer dresses are dressing! Paired with a minimalist heel, platform or flip-flop, the versatile one-and-done clothing item is a girl’s best friend when temps soar. So go ahead — clear out that closet space and give your favorite frocks the prime real estate they deserve.
