Whether it's your bank balance or your bursting closet telling you that you have too many summer dresses, we have got your back. There's more than one way to style that sexy summer dress and in fact, with the right accessories, you can wear that sexy dress to a whole host of different occasions. If you are in the mood to strip back and simplify, here we will be sharing a whole host of chic ways to rock your sexy summer dresses in all the right ways.
But first, what sets sexy summer dresses apart? We would argue anything that you feel sleek and stunning in. Because the hot girl summer is a total mood that you can master with the right mindset (and the right dress of course). Whether it's a tight and fitting bodycon dress, a midi dress with eye-catching cutouts, a scooped neckline mini dress, a free-flowing maxi dress, or a cute wrap dress complete with a plunging neckline, you want to wear something that raises your confidence game, shows off your fabulous figure, and is comfy to boot.
With heels and a handbag
So this look is totally glam and perfect for turning that simple dress into a club dress just by swapping out the shoes. This dress is such a hot girl classic that we can't get enough of how sexy it makes us feel. Figure-hugging, clingy in all the right places but still cool and comfortable, it means you create your own heat rather than suffer in sweltering weather. Heels will elongate those pretty pins and the delicate sized bag is a mere suggestion of perfume and lipstick that lends itself well to a night out on the town. This pic is proof that it doesn't always need to be a little black dress to be an instant classic.
With a cute cardigan and belt
Hello to our newest summer date night style. Your summer wardrobe wouldn't be quite complete without a snuggly cardi to throw over your dress when the sun starts to set. We love cardi's that come in neutral or biscuit colors because they go with everything. If you want to keep the sultry game high, cinch it in at the waist with a belt and pair it with strappy sandals.
With a cap and tee
We love the sporty flirty look of pairing your favorite party dress with a baseball cap, tied white cotton tee, and sneakers. It's a great way of taking that hot dress into more casual territory without losing the sexy silhouette hugging edge. Just take us out to the ballgame already!
With a casual sweater and sneakers
You don't need a special occasion to sport that perfect dress, you can pair it with a sweater and sneakers and turn that slip dress into a dreamy daycare look. Draping a sweater over your shoulder screams of Hampton summer vibes or European pro tennis star and we are here for it. It's classy, casual, and super cute - especially when paired with an over the shoulder bag and a high ponytail.
With a cute jacket
If you want to style that cute dress for your next date or gig, pairing it with a cute blazer or jacket works no matter what the season. Go for a black short cut jacket and throw on some heels, a tousled head of hair, and a statement piece of jewelry to channel complete rock and roll vibes. This is one of the best looks to make the most of your minis.
With a tied button shirt
Get your cool girl game on and opt to pair your pretty sundress with a tied-up button-down shirt. There's something so effortlessly charming about this style and the best thing is - it looks great with any kind of dress as long as you pair well when it comes to fabric, pattern, and color. We love this look of the navy tight dress with the striped blue and white short-sleeved shirt and the contrasting red street sneakers for that all American girl fashion charm.
With a blazer
Work gal on the go, you can wear your summer dress to a business brunch and look absolutely divine without losing an inch of professional polish. Pair with oversized sunglasses and take your pick in the footwear department. For a classy lunch with the girls, you can't go wrong with heels, for work we are thinking flats, and you can even don the sneakers if you want a chic and casual city look.
With a tie waist
There's something grunge gorgeous about tie waist styles. Usually paired with jeans or baggy bottoms in that killer 90's way that is making a comeback, we have decided to cute this look up a bit. Here, we have opted for a checkered shirt, but because the dress is a simple block color it could have worked with a whole host of different styled shirts and patterns. The contrast just helps it to stand out that little bit more. We've also paired it with cute skate shoes too that match our camera strap! The delight is always in the details when it comes to women's clothing. Could there be a better look for a weekend exploring NYC with friends?
With a sweater
Yes, pairing a sweater over the top of your dress is a look that is making a splash right now and we can totally see why. It works best with a dress that is a cutout of your figure (AKA figure-hugging) as it will show your shape and won't make you feel frumpy even with a sweater on top. Here, we've gone for a simple grey sweater that isn't too bulky or busy in design. We love the stormy look of grey on blue and you can totally pair this look with sneakers to make the outfit extra chill or sandals for a more femme daytime look.
