Top ten: Summer dresses

We have so many interesting icons to get inspiration from this summer. Femininity is explored in every possible way and every kind of woman can find the perfect summer dress. Let’s take a look at some of the hottest ones!

The gingham gress

Looks like we will all be allowed to channel our inner Brigitte Bardot this summer. This little dress is, in fact, an absolute must. It’s perfect to handle the summer heat in the city, while pretending to partake at a lovely picnic in the country side.

Piqué dress

A bit Margot Tenenbaum, a bit Dominique Sanda as Micol in The garden of the Finzi-Continis, the piqué tennis dress has made its official return. Whether it’s in navy blue, stripes or pristine white, wear it with a bold orange or red matte lipstick to get the perfect sporty upper class look.

 

The embroidered white dress

White is always a must for summer and this year in particular pretty much every designer presented their version of this dress. The Alberta Ferretti long ones are the dreamiest, but for a fresh everyday look at the beach we prefer it in the breezier Chloé version.

 

The embroidered tunic

Whether it’s due to all the Coachella vibes we get every year or the 70s trend, summer this year rhymes with bohemia more then ever. So choose your tunic carefully, the coolest ones have a loose fit and rich embroidery.

 

The long floral print dress

Hippies, flowers and paisley. Nothing new about it, but still completely flattering.

 

The denim dress

It’s not long since the normcore wave took denim as a key material of the new less-is-more chic. Pretty much all of the fashion houses have challenged themselves to reinvent denim for this summer, confirming that a denim dress should be a must-have in your wardrobe! Choose a long length for a casually sophisticated look, or opt for a mini with a classy A-line cut. It doesn’t matter which your personal style is, there’s a perfect denim dress for everyone.

Plunge-neck dress

Hedi Slimane gave us psych rock back and with that one of the sexiest dresses for this summer. Get ready for short lengths and deep V-necks on your craziest summer nights. Wear this style with a belt and match it with platforms and a shiny turban for stand-out style.

The striped long dress

Normcore and urban, opt for a long striped fine-knit dress like this one from Mango and wear it with your favorite sneakers to be cool even on your off-duty days.

The suede dress

Suede represents a love for the raw and natural. Go for pastel tones, patchwork or fringed detailing this summer.

 

The camisole

The coolest of these summer dresses comes directly from our lingerie drawer. For modern groupies, the most effortlessly chic trend this summer is the camisole, rocking from underneath your leather jacket. All the way back from the 90s, the slip dress is extremely feminine, comfortable and versatile. Just be careful with the see-through element if you aim to recreate the Kate Moss statement look!
