Summer is here. Flip flops, shorts, tank tops and sun-tanning lotion. Oh wait, that’s only on the weekends. What are you supposed to wear the rest of the week? From wool to linen and from black to color, the spring brought some life back into your wardrobe. But for the heat and humidity of the summer months a few dresses might be just what you are looking for.


The best and most figure flattering (for all sizes) is the wrap dress. Made popular in the 1970’s it still remains this season’s go to dress. This wrap dress in a bold print and great color scheme is from AK Anne Klein and can be found in Macy’s Department store. It retails for $129 and would look great paired with a black cardigan for the office.




Looking for a great wrap that’s both sporty and casual and perfect with career dresses and slacks? Tory Burch has got the look ready to go for you, complete with her signature buttons. This classic piece is $225 at Bloomingdales and is easily matched with other wardrobe favorites.




For a classic look to keep you cool this summer, consider the always-in-style shift dress. The shift dress is a vintage look–1957 was the year, Paris the city, and Givenchy the designer. At that time, it hit the runway as “the sack.” This belted dress from Esprit will quickly become your “cool little number” when the temperature is rocking the 90′s. $99.50










Polish off your summer look with accessories of silver or gold and you’ll be ready for work or play. Mix and match with bracelets from Alex and Ani, $300 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
