Getting Dressed is Easy With a Dress

When the weather gets warmer, make dressing easy when you choose to wear a dress. Dresses can be all personality if you choose one in a flashy print, bold color or high tech fabric. Or you can add personality to a simple dress with your choice of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, handbags, and shoes.

If you haven’t worn a dress recently, it would be a great idea to try on a variety of styles.
Here are some of the key dress styles of the season. I’ve grouped them with an emphasis on style personality. See if you find a few that sound enticing.

Accessorizing your dresses

A few final dress tips from Pam

1. If you’re worried about the heat choose a dress without a collar. It’ll be cooler than one with a collar.
2. On that note, fuller dresses create more natural ventilation.
3. Wearing a full slip under a dress can keep a dress from clinging.
4. Choosing to wear a dress in your favorite print can make you feel cheerful all day.
5. There’s no reason to fret about hem lengths. You’ll find dresses with short hemlines or hemlines at the knee, below the knee, at the calf, or all the way down to your ankles.

Make this the year you express yourself in a dress (or two or three) that brings you delight.
