The Best Day-To-Night Summer Dresses

Every summer closet needs an 18-hour dress – one that will take you from dawn to dusk (and beyond) with minimal effort. The criteria? Versatile, lightweight and timeless. Nili Lotan’s elegant ivory ‘Annette’ maxi dress ticks all these boxes – and then some. Made from stretch jersey, it’s ideal for balmy days with flat sandals and a cross-body bag. Then take it into evening by playing up its ’90s undertones with a minimalist shoulder bag, barely-there kitten heels and sleek gold hoops. Three Graces London, meanwhile, has created the dream wedding-guest look with its green, floral ‘Oonagh’ dress. Crafted from a soft cotton voile, it will look divine with a basket bag and block-heeled sandals.

Elsewhere, with its vibrant floral print and beach-inspired shell belt, Zimmermann’s ‘Pattie’ dress embodies playful summer style. Whether you have a vacation on the horizon or a big event to attend, this is a piece you can bank on to see you through this summer – and many more to come – in style. Just as colorful and bright is Isabel Marant’s pink and purple printed maxi. Go for bold and style it with strappy sandals in a pop of orange when the temperature climbs. Come fall, you can wear it with ankle boots for added style mileage, too.
