Spring is Not Cancelled: Sundresses for Now and Later

Published by
Zoe Roscoe

Let’s face it, we’re all social distancing from each other right now and not necessarily getting dressed to go anywhere besides the grocery store or a zoom happy hour. But that doesn’t mean that you need to live in your sweats 24/7. For some, putting on jeans makes them feel put together, while for others simply putting on mascara does the trick. We think a great sundress is just as easy to slip on as your oversized sweatpants and will instantly give you a boost. 

As the temperatures start to rise and we’re finally able to comfortably head outside (in our own backyards, for now) try tossing on one of these easy sundresses. Like your favorite comfy sweats, they are lightweight and forgiving, but still let you maintain a sense of normalcy through these tough times. 

Rainbow Brite

If you’re feeling isolated during this time, you’re not alone. Schedule a zoom happy hour with your friends and be the ray of sunshine that they need. These bold, bright colored dresses will bring a smile to their faces. #quarantinitime

Better than Sweats

These soft, easy dresses are just as comfortable as your favorite pair of varsity sweatpants. Toss on one of these with cute kicks when you have to run to the grocery store to look put together with minimal effort.

Strong Shoulder

Puff sleeve dresses are everywhere this season, but what really sets these ones apart is their whimsical patterns and texture. Just because your social calendar is cleared doesn’t mean you have to give up this season’s hottest trends.

Extra Warmth

If you’re going to be inside in air conditioning or the temperatures haven’t completely warmed up outside, having a little extra coverage with long sleeves will cut the chill. The key to finding the perfect long sleeve sundress is to look for fun, bold prints and cutouts.

Now and Later

It might be hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but we’re all hoping that we’ll be able to rock our favorite purchases out on the town, ASAP. Look for dresses that can easily be dressed up or down. Rock them at home barefoot for now and then dress them up with fun jewelry and heels for a night out.

Shop the Look: Out at Sea Blue Striped Ruffled Wrap Mini Dress, Mariana Red Floral Print Midi Dress, Catch the Sun Navy Blue Print Off-the-Shoulder Maxi Dress, Murni Mustard Yellow Print Button-Up Midi Dress

 

Remember to stay positive and to take it one day at a time. When life gets overwhelming, sometimes it’s the littlest things that make a huge difference- like an awesome little dress. And oh yeah, the #quarantini definitely helps, too. xo
