Essential Dresses

Summer is the perfect time for mindlessly throwing on a cute dress and hitting the road. There doesn’t need to be a crazy thought process for getting dressed in the morning. Sometimes, you just need to rack up a nice selection of summer dresses and you’ll be good to go until the end of time. Here are six to get you started because no one ever says no to denim, leopard or stripes. Ever.

Neutrals make like even more simple. Denim is an eternal no-brainer, a subtle off the shoulder is always a nice way to show a glimpse of skin, a little bit of metallic goes a long way, ruffles are welcome at any time, and we can practically verify that leopard should be incorporated into your daily life. Oh, and the leopard Equipment piece is on sale. Just in case.
