Bright Dress + Birkenstocks
The best approach is to wear minimal accessories because a dress this vibrant speaks for itself. Tortoiseshell sunglasses and a basic pair of Birkenstocks will do the trick.

Knitted Dress + Sliders
Thin knit dresses are perfect for summer in the UK and can be worn into the fall. If the weather cools off, layer a light jacket over yours or wear it alone with slip-on sandals.
Silk Dress + Blazer + Elevated Flip-Flops
By adding a blazer with a menswear influence and a pair of flat sandals, you can repurpose your silky wedding guest dress for a Saturday night out. Flip-flops made of leather that are peeking out from under the hem will look great.

Off-Shoulder Dress + Running Shoes
Off-the-shoulder necklines, in my opinion, balance out the longer length of maxi dresses by exposing a little skin, preventing you from feeling overtaken by the excess fabric. Again, if you’re going for a casual appearance, running shoes are your best bet.

Relaxed Shirt + Slip Dress + Trainers
The easiest item to transition from day to night is a slip dress. Layer a loose cotton or linen shirt over your maxi dress and put on your coziest sneakers for the daytime look.
Change them out for strappy black heels in the evening.
White Cotton Dress + Vest + Cowboy Boots
From the tiered cotton dress to the black cowboy boots, this outfit exudes a very Western vibe that I really like.
I didn’t expect the long waistcoat to be a part of the ensemble, but I’m kind of in love with it. Bravo, Stephanie.
