Summer means hot weather, and hot weather means dresses. Wearing dresses during the summer is an essential for every girl, especially during those 90-degree days. It’s one of the only ways to survive the unrelenting heat and still express your style without succumbing to throwing on the thinnest tank top and shorts, or standing in front of the fan for the whole day. As college students, we want to be able to enjoy the couple months of summer that we have by hanging out with hometown friends, working on our tans and mentally preparing for the grueling semesters to come. It’s always a fresh sight to see girls showing off their style and expressing themselves while still keeping cool in this uncompromising heat. By following in this Fashionista’s footsteps of wearing a free-flowing dress with plenty of room to breathe, we can achieve just that!
This Fashionista is sporting a Forever 21 floral dress with cutout shoulders, tan gladiator-inspired Target sandals and a white lace Urban Outfitters bralette. The simplicity of this outfit is what makes it casual and perfect for the summer. The bold floral pattern of the dress and the cutout shoulders allowed this Fashionista to keep her accessories simple (a custom gold necklace with her name on it) and understated while keeping all attention on the dress. In addition, she styled it with a wardrobe staple, a pair of tan gladiator-inspired sandals. The sandals are simplistic, so they don’t take any shine away from the statement dress, and they can be worn with almost anything in your closet. These sandals are comfortable and stylish while still being simplistic and accessible!
This outfit is extremely practical for the heat during the summer, while at the same time remaining stylish and chic. The bold floral print of the dress and the simplicity of the added accessories make for the perfect summer outfit! Like COVERGIRL would say, it’s easy, breezy and beautiful!
One Simple Change: Have a brunch date planned with your girlfriends? Throw on a pair of wedges, and bring a denim jacket along. You will be ready to have some girl time with your friends while looking effortlessly chic in a matter of minutes!
