Is there any outfit that multitasks? Not only can we wear it to the countless parties and celebrations, but can toss it in for getaways, running errands or just an afternoon stroll. Today’s featured ladies applied one that can do just that:

A bright colored sundress with a waist-cinching belt (this season, the back-on-trend romper will do the same!), a pair of embellished sandals that are equal parts comfortable and chic, and a well made, can-polish-up-any-outfit leather tote!

Eye-catching orange and red are two great choices that flatter all skin tones. When choosing accessories, those with gold accents will bring out the warmth in the color orange, whereas black ones can tone down the richness of the red, resulting a classic, never go out of style combination.

Like the ubiquity of the Isabel Marant ankle booties, this Charlotte strassed and studded sandals are the hottest footwear choice among celebrities and trendsetters now. The perfect heel and outstanding embellishment make it surprisingly versatile too. It can add unexpected edgy twist to your dressed-up looks and lend a hint of lux and boho vibe to your dressed-down outfits.

Rompers are seen everywhere now. I think the key to make them stylish is trying to avoid the childish connotations: choose fitted cut with cool details or feminine elements, add serious accessories, either a sexy or edgy shoe, a fine unique jewelry piece or a great handbag.

Floral Perfection: Wedding Party Outfit Ideas

In wedding season, what comes along with the joys and wishes to the happy couples is the anxiety for what to wear to the parties. For such a romantic moment, the first color that came into my mind is coral. It’s pretty but not saccharine. It’s as sweet as pink without the seductive flare, as buoyant as orange without the brightness. Teamed with emerald-green, pastel blue or soft ivory, it’s perfect for wedding.

The fit-and-flare silhouette of the dresses these two stars chose flatters many body shapes. The knee-length is versatile and graceful. I also love how they accessorized the dresses: instead of going for safety neutrals, they opted for complementary colors or shades in the same color family, which lend a youthful, current and fresh vibe to the finishing looks.

These outfits are not only great for weddings, but also great for many other summer events: graduations, showers, hanging out with friends or downtown excursion.

Modern Maxi: Simple Palette & High Impact

how to wear maxi dresses; black and white trend; monochrome look; On Jessica Alba:Sam & Lavi plaid maxi dress, Simone Camille bag, Jennifer Meyer Personalized Nameplate gold necklace, black fedora, black sandal. On street style:halter neck dress, white sandal, black clutchPhotos: Jessica Alba & street style; Courtesy of instyle.co.uk.

As a perennial piece, maxi dress is definitely a trusty staple that we can count on for many occasions: from formal events to summer soirees to afternoon strolls. To make it feel more current and new, instead of thinking bohemian and romantic outfits, go with a modern, Gothic vibe:

Right-on-trend high contrast black and white can give any romantic print a contemporary twist, like this understated one with Art Nouveau blossoms. Classic stripes and tie dye effect print are also great options.

Also, pay attention to details: Halter neckline can perfectly highlight your collarbone and shoulders, adding just right amount of sexy allure; Shell and anchor motifs add whimsical touch and juxtaposition to classic nautical stripes; A centered knot can create rippling texture to a wild, tie dye print.

Lastly, use accessories to enhance the modern vibe: on-trend white add-ons with gold embellishment, chic fedora, oversized sunglasses, from sidewalk and boardwalk satchel, or simple, dainty and personal jewelries.

These two looks are great for women of any age, and are super easy to transform for many coming summer activities. Also, the classic and versatile color palette on these featured dresses can take you into fall/winter stylishly.
