Beach holiday or business meeting: Summer dresses for any occasion

With temperatures rising, you’ll want loose clothing that doesn’t restrict you and is airy enough to keep you cool no matter what. In short—it’s time to get a new summer dress. Breathable, flowing fabrics like cotton, viscose, jersey or linen that are pleasant on your skin, designs that evoke the splendour of summer without being gaudy and cuts that emphasise your style in professional surroundings or on holiday—a summer dress has to fit many requirements. But truly stylish dresses easily fit the bill!

Workplace fashion: classic cuts and comfortable material

Summer certainly won’t stop at the office door, so your workplace is sure to heat up. Now’s not the time for a conventional business outfit. Choose a shift dress or jersey dress with a straight cut featuring a slightly higher neckline. Monochrome fabrics or elegant stripes are absolutely spot-on for a professional appearance when combined court shoes or ballet pumps. If you work in an air-conditioned office, a blazer or a fashionable cardigan will help you take the differences in temperature from outside to inside in your stride.

Party dresses: glamorous designs and feminine details

Summer time is party time. To ensure that you dazzle at garden parties, summer weddings, concerts and other events, go for an utterly feminine dress that drapes well to show off your figure. Animal prints or bright florals guarantee that you’ll turn heads as you pass. Round off your summer look with stylish accessories, like strappy sandals and a matching handbag or maybe a scarf for cooler evenings.

Shopping outfits: stylish or sporty

There’s no time like the summer months to take a leisurely stroll with your best friend for a shopping spree and coffee afterwards. To look your best, emphasise your personality with a summer dress that allows for unrestricted movement and fits the mood of a girls’ day out with romantic lace or beaded detailing. Select flat, comfortable sandals to be light on your feet all day long, and maybe a cardigan against any cooling breezes or air-conditioning.

Holiday dresses: soft, cool fabrics and flattering cuts

The most beautiful weeks of the year call for beach dresses that let you show off your tan and bright, colourful summer dresses for sightseeing and evenings at the pool bar. Soft, printed viscose or glamorous crêpe you switch between fresh and flattering looks! And while you’ll be comfortable with light sandals or flip flops during the day, an evening on the dancefloor calls for a bit of heel to draw attention to your confident style.

Colours, cuts and fabrics: accentuate your figure

A beautiful summer dress will help you stay cool and comfortable on warm days, but of course it can also showcase your figure. Here‘s what to consider when selecting a summer dress:

• Light-coloured fabrics, especially white dresses, tend to add weight optically, while dark fabrics will make you look slimmer.
• Pinstripes not only look smart at the office—they also elongate your figure.
• A V-neck will make your neck look long and slender.
• Long-legged ladies can carry off a short dress. Generally dresses that reach to your knees or mid-thigh optically lengthen your legs. Summer sandals or court shoes with heels add a few inches, too.
• If you’d like to add a bit to strategic areas, go for ruffles or embroidery. Bright colours will also emphasize your bust, if you wish.
• A slightly flared cut will distract from your thighs and tummy.

How to keep your summer dresses beautiful

You can ensure that your new summer dresses will stay beautiful for many summers to come if you handle them with care and follow our simple advice:

• Make sure to read the manufacturer’s label and follow the washing instructions.
• When washing your summer dress, fasten buttons or close zips and, ideally, wash the dress inside out.
• Dresses made from cotton and jersey should go into the gentle cycle at 30°C. To get them back in shape, let them dry on a flat surface.
• Viscose clothes likewise are best washed using the delicate cycle at a maximum of 40°C with liquid detergents. Don’t spin dry but hang up the garment to dry and iron using a damp cloth for protection.
• Chiffon dresses are best washed in a laundry net, also in the delicate cycle at 30°C. Don’t spin dry but allow to dry spread out flat, and do not steam iron. Some chiffon dresses, especially with embroidery, are better off being cleaned at the dry cleaners.
