Beautiful Smart Dresses To Stay Cool In This Summer
Unfortunately, the summer heat doesn’t care for the fact we’ll be working inside for 8 hours a day. Luckily, these breezy and beautiful smart dresses have been designed to keep us cool in this situation! One such dress we highly recommend is the Emma tie waist shirtdress by Reiss. Not only is it constructed in gorgeous, lightweight linen, it’s also incredibly versatile. Style it with heels or flats, you’ll look put together either way. Additionally, its wrap-style bodice and waist-tie belt are incredibly flattering to your figure. Not to mention this dress has a chic button-through front and large functional pockets decorating the skirt.
Another dress we’ll be reaching for on repeat this season is the Dashilo shirt dress by Boss. Its white, cotton-blend construction will be perfect in a heat wave! Plus, we adore its classic pointed collar, loose-fit elbow-length sleeves, and waist-defining belt. Wear this dress buttoned all the way up with a pair of heels for a truly smart appearance. Alternatively, leave a few buttons undone and throw in on with a cute pair of leather flats.

Beautiful Smart Dresses You Can Style With Heels Or Flats
Beautiful smart dresses for the office should be all about versatility. After all, heels might seem like a great idea on Monday but, come Friday, we all know we’ll be reaching for those flats! Happily, dresses like the Maria belted floral-print shirt dress by HVN look stunning with both. We can’t get enough of this gorgeous, deep green design punctuated with brightly colored florals. Additionally, its smart collar and belted waist are incredibly chic and flattering. Slip this dress on with heels or step into a cute pair of brogues for a super-smart yet comfortable ensemble.
Finally, the Fauna dress by Reformation is so pretty we can see ourselves wearing it on off-duty days too. It has an elegant fitted bodice, a round neckline with capped sleeves, and a floaty mid-calf skirt. Not to mention the prettiest blue floral print we’ve seen so far this summer. Heels or flats will compliment it perfectly and have all eyes on you every time you put it on.
