Hot, humid summer weather makes me feel decidedly unglamorous. My hair frizzes and poufs out, and I always run into someone I know at the grocery store when I’m looking sweaty and tired from running errands in the heat. So I depend on cute sundresses when I need a little glamour in my life.
Here are some of my summer favorites:
The empire-waist is flattering and disguises any tummy pudge. The cheerful pattern and cool ocean blue makes this a perfect dress to wear for a weekend at the shore. Best of all, it’s machine-washable. No more trips to the dry cleaner for me.
Diane von Furstenberg St. Jude Silk Wrap Dress-shopbop.com $325 (free shipping)
Wrap dresses flatter every body type. I love how the sash cinches in your waist. At $325, this silk dress is definitely a splurge, but it’s a timeless style. This is a perfect dress for an elegant summer dinner party or casual daytime wedding. Unfortunately, it is dry-clean only, so I’m classifying it as a special occasion outfit.

This affordable, machine-washable dress is practical enough to wear every day but pretty enough for church or a party. The flared skirt camouflages your bottom half, so this is a perfect choice if you’re pear-shaped like I am.
