Jun 15 2021 - 12:58pm

No matter how you cut it, the glamour that comes with a street style moment in a breezy summer dress [1] cannot be denied. That's why I've been scrolling through some of my favorite looks and pinning them to my mood board, just when some parts of the world are starting to open back up. Hopefully these dresses will do for you what they have for me — give you ideas for ways to wear your slips and sneaks (like over a t-shirt!) or inspire you to throw on a long swim caftan with an oversize tote just because. Ahead, I've gathered outfits that really make me stop and take a second to think about how I've been wearing my most treasured wardrobe pieces, if at all. If nothing else, the slideshow ahead may encourage you to reacquaint yourself with a certain section of your closet that you've been avoiding — yep, you know the one.

Play up one of the tones in your dress with a complementary velvet mule.

Keep all eyes on the print of your maxi dress by opting for a simple tote and wooden sandal.

Ground your print mixing with chunky platforms.

Wear an unstructured shirtdress with an oversize bag and slide sandals.

Keep it cool by teaming a lightweight high-low dress with trainers and sporty ankle socks.

A cotton midi dress and gladiator sandals is a classic summer combination that stands the test of time.

A linen colorblock dress, sturdy slides, and a top knot is effortless on a warm day.
