What to Wear: Simple Summer Style

July 19 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Don’t you guys love how much easier it is to dress for summer?  My sister and I were just discussing how summer dresses are our new favorite thing. There’s absolutely no coordinating necessary, your whole outfit is just waiting on the hanger for you in the morning ready to be slipped on.  And they’re super comfy too.  What’s not to love?

I’m also totally diggin’ two of this summer’s biggest trends, neon and stripes.  So here’s my formula for the perfect summer look:  comfy striped dress + neon accessories + sun protection = hip golden goddess (with the golden part being faux of course).  Read on for some of my favorite picks for making this look a reality. 

 

I don’t know what it is about stripes, but I gravitate to them.  A quick scan of my closet reveals that at least half of my clothes contain stripes of one sort or another.  Here are four fabulous striped summer dresses in super comfy jersey and at all price points.

bottom right: Asti B maxi dress – $124

How fun is it that neon is in right now?  I always feel a little more playful during the summertime and these subtle pops of color are bringing me back to my middle school days of big bangs, spandex shorts and side pony tails.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a proper summer fashion post without some mention of keeping safe (and stylish) in the sun.  And, yes, I realize that the bronzer won’t actually provide any sun protection but the better I’m able to fake a golden summer tan, the more motivated I am to slap on the sunscreen.
