While my comfy tie-dye pants and various matching sets held a special place in my heart over the past year, at this point they've overstayed their welcome. Summer is truly here, and I think it's time we go our separate ways (at least until fall rolls back around). Instead, I’m embracing the art of dressing up again (I miss it, you know?) while remaining secretly super comfortable, which means reserving a hefty chunk of space in my wardrobe for breezy summer dresses.
I’ve spotted a few different dress silhouettes pop up across the fashion set, and my stylish friends have been going on about the selection at Macy’s for months now. Whatever summer trends you're into—tiered details, anyone?—I can guarantee there’s a dress or 10 that will speak to your stylish soul this summer. Personally, I’m planning on any styles that guarantee staying comfortable while still looking like a dime, and thanks to my friends' outfit reccos, I'm fully able to do so.
