It is hot and sticky outside. You hardly feel like getting dresses, let alone looking cute, what do you wear? Throw on a jersey dress. Stretchy and light, you won't loom like a wilted flower, even if you feel like one. Jersey dresses are this summer's essential wardrobe piece. Here's why...
1. Versatility! A little black jersey dress can serve as a cocktail dress if you add great jewelry, and a small clutch, or you can wear the same dress as a cover up for the beach with flat sandals and a large tote. Going out to lunch, swap your flip flops for some embellished flats and a structured frame bag and you will look polished, but casual.
2. Low maintenance! Jersey dresses are great for traveling. Just crumple it up and throw it in your bag. When you arrive, just pull it out. Worst case scenario, hang it in the bathroom as you shower and let the wrinkles fall out, but you won’t need to iron it.
3. Add a belt! There are a million options to make your jersey dress look like a completely different outfit. Swap the belt, or even if the dress does not have a belt, add one. A chiffon scarf makes a beautiful feminine summery statement. Or use a man's tie as a belt for a more creative look. How about a wide leather belt high on your waist for a great silhouette. Even a piece of robe or braided corde. Tie a cute little knot on each end, wrap around the waist and tie with another knot. This will look very nautical so it works best with navy blue, white or red. For evening add a metallic belt, or a metal belt. The possibilities are endless…
