The Maxi Dress

The Maxi dress has been around a while a deserving companion for the summer. It protects the skin and allows circulation within it’s flowing structures. However, the gaudy printed maxis of winter and autumn are now replaced by solid color and floral maxis. They work well on all body types and sizes. Gone are the times when maxi dresses were limited to vacations, take them to parties, take them to play and to work.

They’re comfortable, they’re stylish and don’t cost much if you know where to look. Most modern fashion and lifestyle websites sell their own collection and other brands that produce fabulous designs for maxi dresses. New cuts, new lengths, and shoulder straps are a bonus to the look. Subtle or chunky earrings with solid color maxis for the win!

The Minis

Want something especially to play outdoors? The maxis of the ’80s are back with a floral blast. Nothing holds back these chic mini dresses and their cute fits. For outdoors, for trips, for parties and even for casual events – the minis never disappoint. Summer of 2020 sees the return of these minis with daring large sleeves and bold deep cuts on the neckline. If you are nervous about such experiments, stick to the classic yet sexy floral minies paired with snickers or ballerina shoes.The ‘less is more’ style funda applies very well on the choice of minies this summer. Subtle, girly and cute. The feminine dream summer is here.

The White

Isn’t white the eternal, timeless color that transcends across seasons? Yes. Isn’t the summer of 2020 a perfect time to pick out the bold new fittings of white for yourself? Also yes. The color never goes out of style but the cuts do and so, this summer – stick to little beach dresses, broad blouses, and loose-fitting pants. Linens and cotton are the effortlessly stylish partners of white.

Mix your choice of white outfits with hats, hairbands and loud earrings. The bags are more subtle this summer and so the only stage to shine a striking contrast is for the accessories. Pick out those chunky heels and neon pumps. The whites are a perfect canvas to paint with coordinated accessories, shoes, and bags. Even the swimwear runways of summer 2020 saw a heroic new revival of monokinis with white embellishments and floral details. For the workplace, a broad white blouse and khaki pants are the ideal balance of professional and classy. Not long before the little white dress becomes a wardrobe essential.

Tie-Dye
