Capsule Collection: 4 Dresses To Rotate Through Summer

Every season comes with fashion trends embodying its essence, weather, and symbolism. However, the number one rule of style over fashion, is to dress in clothes that make us feel confident - and for long enough that we can make them our own. That’s what we love about capsule collections so much - when you have the right pieces, they can turn a small, simple closet into a world of endless and effortless possibility.

Every season has its own requirements. Summer wardrobe essentials incorporate lightweight fabrics, a splash of color, and clothes that keep us cool against the intense summer heat.

Out of the various summer styles, our favorite is a classic dress. Dresses provide flowy, breathable, stylish, and comfortable fits, perfect for the summer weather (although they turn up the risk when the summer winds blow through town). Here are 4 dresses to keep on repeat this summer.

Floral and Flowy

The summertime shine brings to life multiple breathtaking blooms, from petunias and lavender to sunflowers and various wildflowers. With the warm weather and rise of outdoor events, anything nature related embodies the essence of summer.

Floral dresses paired with flowy fabrics create the ultimate summer dress. Their flowy fit provides maximum movability, comfort, and breathability. Wearing a floral dress brightens anyone’s day because it surrounds them with beauty and nature. Plus, it channels their inner flower child.

Simple Maxi

Maxi dresses come in various styles and suit many occasions. They make the perfect outfit for summer brunches, swimsuit coverups, cookouts, dinner outs, and everyday wear. Plus, they’re breathable and lightweight, despite the added length and fabric. And, unlike short dresses, they keep us covered when the wind blows, preventing accidental public flashing.

We like to think of maxi dresses as a summer version of a monochromatic sweatsuit. Comfy AF, but also appropriate for most scenarios.

Gingham Picnic Dress

Gingham dresses encapsulate a summer picnic in an outfit. Their checkered pattern manifests a classic picnic blanket, reminding you of a dreamy picnic in the park. They also consist of a flowy fit, providing a chic clothing piece to style with sandals and straw bags. They’re great for summer cookouts or park days. Another great thing about them, is that while they tend to fall by the wayside come fall, they’re always back on the menu when the weather warms up, making them far more evergreen than the trends may let you think.

Modern Pinafore

In the past, pinafores functioned as a protective layer over dresses. Now, pinafores return to the fashion world as stylish dresses. They make a great layer piece and create versatile looks, ranging from hipster to cottagecore. Pinafores come in various styles and material compositions, but the best is a flowy, cotton one.
