HOLLY'S SUMMER DRESS PICKS:
(And yes, she's done the styling for you. You're welcome.)

 

The Midi Dress:
Style experts and trend setters alike are loving the poplin midi dress this summer. Great for day or night, with a sneaker or a heel, it's chicest one-and-done piece. Look for smocked tops and full skirts to flatter your shape and add movement.

 

The Night Dress Trend:
No, you're not headed to bed—but it might look like it. Think ruffle collars, floaty fabrics, and a hipster-chic twist. British brand If Only If leads the trend, and yes, it can be styled for the street with sandals and a cardi.

 

Brands to Shop Now:

• Ciao Lucia: Smocked-top, spaghetti strap day dresses from LA—feminine, flowy, and just different enough to stand out.

• STAUD: We are loving the Delfina silk dress—lace panel, spaghetti straps, and simplicity of this. Belt it and add a jacket for extra credit. 

• Rebecca Taylor: She's back with a vengeance. Don't sleep on the Priya poplin shirt dress! 

• Proenza Schouler White Label: Check out the sleeveless A-line in vibrant cyan. Great fit and a timeless statement.
