The Perfect Summer Dress

Hello dear followers! After 2 weeks of silence I'm back! I've been really busy so I didn't have time to come here and keep you up to date with more tips.

Well, summer is just around the corner, temperatures are getting higher and nobody wants to wear heavy clothes. That's why I'm here today to show you the perfect summer dress.

Slip dresses (Street Style)

Back in the 90s, girls around the world started wearing tiny dresses called slip dresses characterized by skinny spaghetti straps and a straight-cut bodice. Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and The City" loved these types of dresses and we often saw her wearing them not only during the hot summer in NYC but also during the winter with a big coat.

Now designers around the world have brought them back and they have become one of the strongest pieces of the summer. But how and where should you wear a slip dress? Wear it during the day with a great pair of sandals and at night with a stunning pair of heels. If you are going to buy one, my tip is to choose one that is as simple as possible with no details. That will make it more versatile. There are also options with lace that makes it more wearable for night events. It's up to you.
