Everyday Sun Dresses In Unexpected Silhouettes

 

When we think of everyday sun dresses, our minds often drift to babydoll styles or simple slips. However, sundresses are now far beyond those traditional shapes. This summer, prepare to be pleasantly surprised by an array of unique and unexpected designs that beautifully showcase your figure. From flattering wraps that cinch at the waist to sophisticated shirt dresses—these styles are indeed made for Mondays too.

 

For example, the MAEVE Denim V-Neck Wrap Dress most definitely doesn’t look like your average day-to-day look. But with soft cotton denim against your skin, you won’t even know you have it on. Similarly, the SIR. Assemblage Maxi Dress is curve-hugging without the annoyance of being uncomfortable. Embracing everyday sun dresses like these gives you the opportunity to show off your personal style—and on the flip side, stay comfy while doing it.

While style is undoubtedly essential, comfortability in your everyday sun dresses should never be compromised. On those lazy summer days when the sun is simply too hot, sundresses are very necessary—especially those that are lighter and more relaxed. But just because tunics are indeed at the top of the list, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on style. Sure, being comfortable is at the top of the list, but your personal taste should also be priority too. After all, it’s summer we’re talking about.

 

Tunics, like the ANTHROPOLOGIE Eyelet Tunic Dress, are the epitome of relaxed elegance. Not only are these perfect for lounging poolside, but they’re also stylish enough to take out for a picnic.
