Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric is best for a summer dress?

Lightweight, breathable fabrics are what you're after in the heat. Linen is one of the best options — it's natural, breathable and keeps you cool even on the hottest days. Cotton and cotton blends are similarly comfortable for casual warm-weather dressing. For a dressier summer look, chiffon and lightweight georgette move beautifully and don't trap heat the way heavier fabrics do. Avoid thick polyester or heavily lined styles if staying cool is the priority.

What shoes go with a summer dress?

Flat sandals are the easiest pairing for a casual summer dress — they're comfortable, practical and work with most silhouettes. For a more dressed-up look, strappy heeled sandals or wedges complement a flowy or printed style without feeling overdone. White sneakers are a strong option for a relaxed or street-style take on a summer mini or midi. The general rule: the more flowy and casual the dress, the more relaxed the shoe can be.

How do you wear a summer dress in winter?

Layering is the key. A fitted long-sleeve top or skivvy underneath a summer dress changes the whole feel of the outfit — it works especially well with printed or floral dresses that would otherwise feel too warm-weather. Add an oversized knit, denim jacket or coat over the top and swap sandals for ankle boots. Opaque tights also help extend summer dresses into cooler months. It takes a little more effort than a summer outfit, but most summer dresses translate surprisingly well into year-round wear.

What's the difference between a casual and dressy summer dress?

Mostly fabric and detail. A casual summer dress tends to be in a relaxed fabric like cotton, linen or jersey — think a simple sundress, a floral print or a ribbed style. A dressy summer dress is usually in a more elevated fabric like chiffon, satin or lace, and often has more deliberate details like a ruched bodice, a cut-out or a structured silhouette. The occasion and the venue will usually tell you which way to go — outdoor lunch leans casual, rooftop event leans dressy.

What colour summer dress should I choose?

Bright prints, bold colours and soft pastels are all popular summer dress choices — it really comes down to personal style and the occasion. If you want something versatile that works across multiple events, a solid colour in white, cobalt, terracotta or sage is easy to style. Floral and abstract prints are great for casual outings and feel very summer-appropriate. If you tend to stick to neutrals year-round, a summer dress is a good place to experiment with colour — a bold print or bright tone has more impact in a dress than in most other pieces.
