What dresses belong in a complete summer wardrobe?

Do you want to make sure you have a summer dress for each occasion? There are several categories you should consider that will help you build a complete wardrobe:

• Long dresses: Long dresses have always been a popular summer option because they strike a good balance between stylish and modest. If you want a long dress for your summer collection, look for one made from lightweight fabrics and with a loose-fitting or A-line silhouette that encourages airflow.
• Maxi skirts: Maxi skirts are another great option for your summer wardrobe. They are designed to be flowy and comfortable. They’re also effortless to style with a t-shirt and linen blazer or a dressy blouse. To handle hotter temperatures, look for maxi skirts made from natural fabrics like cotton or linen and with a high waist or empire waistline.
• Smocked tops: Smocked tops and smocked top dresses are a great way to add some volume and interest to your summer wardrobe. They are also very versatile and can be dressed up or down. Look for smocked tops made from lightweight fabrics like cotton or chiffon and with a high neckline or a scoop neck.
• Tunic dresses: Tunic dresses are a great option for summer because they are both stylish and comfortable. They can be worn with a blazer or denim jacket, accessorized with a belt, and they can be styled dressy or casual. Look for tunics made from lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen and with a loose-fitting or A-line silhouette.
• Cardigans: Lightweight cardigans are a great way to add some coverage and warmth to your summer wardrobe. They can be worn over a dress or skirt and top for a cool layered look. Look for cardigans made from lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen and with a loose-fitting or A-line silhouette.
• Can modest dresses still keep you cool?

Modest long summer dresses and eleven modest maxi summer dresses can keep you cool in many ways without exposing your skin to harsh sunlight.

The first consideration is the fabric. Our summer dresses are crafted with fabrics like cotton that feel cool to the touch and allow airflow without compromising modesty. Check out any of our dresses in the selection above to learn more about the materials, as these details are always listed. Cotton dresses, in particular, are effective at allowing airflow. Our team is always happy to answer any questions about our fabrics. 

After the material, the design can make a significant difference. Our modest, flowy summer dresses are shaped to pull airflow through the fabric's motion. They’ll keep you cool during nature walks, shopping, and more.

Color or tone can also affect how warm or cool a dress feels. Shop dresses that are crafted in light tones to reflect sunlight and provide a cooling effect. Our selection includes vibrant light whites, dusty blues, yellows, grays, greens, and lavender tones. 

Can modest summer dresses be worn to formal events?

Yes, our large selection of summer dresses includes many collections and pieces that are effective for keeping the heat at bay as a host, vacationer, or wedding guest. Check out our Garden Party Dress, Castle Courtyards Dress, or So Much To Celebrate Dress for semi-formal to formal options. You’ll find many more options by searching the full collection.

Are long-sleeve dresses comfortable in summer?

Long-sleeved midi dresses, maxi dresses, and other long-sleeved dresses can be comfortable in the summer. If you have skin sensitive to sunlight, these dresses can provide protection and comfort in the summer that sleeveless dresses can’t match. Long-sleeve dresses can remain cool if they are well-designed for warm temperatures. Puff sleeves, ruffle sleeves, and other styles create great airflow around the arms without sacrificing modesty.

What colors and patterns are good for summer dresses?

Our summer dresses are large enough to accommodate most tastes, but you’ll find traditional and modern colors and patterns in our complete selection. You’ll find floral maxi dresses with bright fruit flower patterns and other styles designed to reflect rather than absorb sunlight.
