Summer dressing is all about simplicity. It’s warm and humid, so while you may have little control over your hair and makeup in these conditions (again keep it simple), you can have a wardrobe of go-tos to make getting dressed easier. One must-have? A denim party dress.

It’s a classic staple that works well with just about any kind of shoe (flat sandals or wedges are my fave), and even if you work in a slightly more corporate setting, you can still pull it off when it’s a little more fitted, in a darker rinse, and paired with a blazer (in the office only. You’ll burst into flames on the street).
