Summer may technically be on its way out, but here in New York, the weather just started getting (too) warm! For us, we get lucky with nice summery weather until late September with many local vacation spots such as the Hamptons and Nantucket still active well into the first month of fall.
When it comes to summer, the best casual chic item to wear is the dress. Judging from New York street style, maxi dresses are still popular as ever! I’ve actually picked up a few different styles of maxis from the every popular empire waist to dressier cinched-at-the waist styles. And when the weather turns, these dresses will make great resort wear even at the most glamorous beaches. The best part is- with these dresses- no heels needed! Maxi dresses look best with a casual sandal or flip flop.
Gypsy 05 Organic Maxi Dress in Plum is probably one of my favorites in terms of simple elegance and color. Priced at $100, it’s also very accessible for all budgets and made of organic cotton to boot! I’m definitely picking one up.
Sweetees Bramble Maxi Dress in Peach has a lot of Southern charm. I love the silk floral print and the beautiful ruffles on the bottom makes me want to take it out for a spin.
I love that the Va Va by Joy Han Tulle Maxi Dress in Pale Blue has sleeve, making it a very pretty, vintagey- romantic piece perfect for wearing to a weekend lawn party or polo match.
And of course, I can’t resist something on sale! I particularly love this Scoop Beach Signature Beach Dress in Silver Lurex Ikat Print for its gorgeous print and timeless style.
