3 Timeless Dresses to Wear This Summer
New clothing trends emerge every season, but these three styles remain steadfast in accentuating your summer fit. And we bet you have at least one in your closet.
To celebrate all things summer, L'Officiel has listed the three timeless dresses to decorate your form this year. What makes these dresses special? Their relevance despite the neverending fashion trends that come about every season. These are styles of dresses which you can easily adapt to various clothes and accessories, creating combinations of different styles suitable for different occasions; for a day in the city or a vacation by the sea.
Silk Nightgowns
A while ago, designer Victoria Beckham attended her son's wedding wearing an elegant silver sequined nightgown type of dress. This dress became an instant sensation on the internet, reminding us that slip dresses reminiscent of the 1990s are still under the spotlight.
Shiny or shorter nightgown-style dresses with beautiful fabric are perfect for casual and evening wear. In your free time, combine this outfit with sneakers or sandals, or even a classic white shirt. To dress up, wear high-heeled sandals and put on a classic jacket.
Long Bohemian Dresses
The bohemian chic style is back this year. Bohemian dresses printed with ethnic motifs, flowers or plant motifs are the ideal choice for summer holidays. You can combine this model with Greek-style leather sandals, high-heeled sandals or a fashionable cowboy-style boot. When wearing such a dress, don't forget to accessorise with sunglasses, braided hats, and of course a ton of jewellery.
Linen Dresses
Linen dresses are not only extremely practical but also fashionable. Linen is a very durable fabric, more resistant to dirt, it maintains a constant body temperature – it cools on a hot day and warms on a cool day, while allowing the body to breathe. Linen has antibacterial properties, so it does not cause allergies on the skin. Over time, clothes sewn from it soften, but do not lose their shape.
Our advice? Choose monochrome linen dresses as they will be more versatile and will not fade as quickly. Also, opt for shirt dresses with a straight silhouette, which can also be worn with trousers like long button-down shirts.
