Summertime and the living’s easy—and your wardrobe should be too. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I want to do during the long, lazy days of summer is put together a complicated outfit. Don’t get me wrong—I love a swanky fall outfit or chic layered winter look, but summer outfits should be seamless. I want easy pieces I can throw on and feel put together without having to overthink the details. Uncomplicated but chic is my summer MO.
Since simplicity is the goal, I tend to gravitate toward pretty sundresses as the backbone of my summer wardrobe. They become the hero pieces of the outfit, doing all the heavy lifting without me really having to style, just add a few accessories and head out the door. I specifically look for dresses I won’t have to fuss with too much, nothing too tight or low-cut to prevent me from fidgeting with my outfit all day. With this idea in mind (and summer approaching fast), I’ve been scouring my favorite retailers and currently have 29 easy summer dresses sitting in my cart. So if you’re aligned with the simple summer mindset, below I’m sharing the pretty, uncomplicated dresses perfect for the season ahead.
