Summer work dresses: The subtle floral dress
This classic sheath cut gets the job done, assisted by an eyelet texture and floral embroidery that lifts an otherwise basic black frock.
Black Floral Eyelet Dress, $179 at Ann Taylor stores.
Your summer work dress check list:
- Choose a dress silhouette that makes you feel like a boss. For a winning alternative that offers a fuller, A-line skirt, try an appropriately named fit ’n’ flare dress. Your most comfortable self is your most confident!
- A little jewellery goes a long way, helping to convert a single garment into a whole look. As hard workers that can easily be worn Monday to Friday, metallic pieces in geometric shapes walk the line between modern and timeless.
- Make a deal with noteworthy accessories. Whether it’s a standout texture or pop of colour (or both!), shoes and bags are a chance to verify your stylish strengths.
