I love a good summer dress that encompasses both comfort and elegance. One of my favourite staples for the warm season has been in my wardrobe for years in different colour variations.

You can dress it up with a pair of strap sandals for a night out or a special occasion; it can be your favourite beach dress on a Caribbean holiday whether you decide to wear shoes or go barefoot; it will make the best outfit for day-to-night cityscapes when you do not want to go back to the hotel and change for dinner; and it will be just the perfect day time dress for running errands and meeting friends on a hot summer day. Wear it with wedge espadrilles and straw bags for your holiday adventures, and put some runners on for a casual daytime outfit.

My dress is from Aritzia; I have it in a neutral tone that I have been wearing during my pregnancy and postpartum. This season I got the black one with a dramatic slit as a more elegant option. My sandals are Castaner, and the bag is from Sensi Studio.
