Your Summer Social Calendar, Styled

A little black dress, but make it far less expected. The clean bodice lends sleek simplicity, while the voluminous hem brings the drama—ideal for a cocktail party or semi-formal occasion.

This is how you do florals without feeling like you’re dressing for the theme too literally. The abstract blue-and-green palette feels decidedly fresh; the fluttery shape brings a touch of whimsy.

These marbled stone drops add depth, a natural touch and a bit of artful contrast, especially against black, white, or a solid dress.

From the trending chartreuse color to flickers of skin, this midi dress feels well-suited to a summer getaway. The delicate lace trim adds a touch of femininity that works from beach-town dinner to rooftop drinks.

This is a showstopper style to have on hand for this season and beyond. The frosty shade, asymmetric silhouette, and draped detail make it feel artful.

The chunky gold links give any look instant polish, while the pavé-accented center link adds just enough sparkle to make things feel a touch more fanciful.

For the bride who wants white, but in a more individualist way. The strapless silhouette keeps things elegant but unfussy, while the floral appliqué brings daring dimension.

This is how you do florals for summer. It’s graphic, it’s fun, and just dramatic enough for an event where everyone else is guaranteed to be playing it safe.
