The summer season is officially upon us! With that in mind, nothing says summer better than a flowy dress that keeps you cool while making a statement. These summer dresses for your wardrobe will ensure the season isn’t the only heat radiating from the streets. Not to mention, the right dress can easily transition from summer to fall with ease.
Tips for Dressing in the Summer
To sport a polished look while navigating the humidity, you must consider a few things. Steer towards natural fibers like cotton, bamboo, and linen. Loose-fitting dresses will help you chill out. Invest in anti-chafe products to protect your skin from friction. And remember to generously slather on sunscreen (every two hours) to guard skin exposed to the sun.
