How To Wear A Dress For Memorial Day

Memorial Day is coming up! And that means a long weekend of family and/or friends, gatherings over yummy food and drink (fingers crossed for good weather), and maybe a fun trip…. Regardless of your plans, no doubt you will be needing some style inspiration for your activities. A dress is the perfect piece to throw on and go on a busy holiday weekend! Let’s take a look at how to wear a dress for Memorial Day!

How To Wear A {Tiered Patterned Sun} Dress For Memorial Day

Of course, you can show off some red, white, and blue for Memorial Day gatherings. This tiered dress in a fun blue and white pattern is SO fun and whimsical…. And the tiered dress is very much on trend this season. We love a tiered silhouette because it is flattering on all body types and is such a sweet style for all ages. Remember, it can still be cool this time of year, especially in the evenings. So having a good denim jacket in your closet for layering is a must. If you own one jean jacket, we recommend the trucker style. Its classic silhouette can be layered over most anything in your closet!

How To Wear A {Striped Maxi} Dress For Memorial Day

Bright colors are huge this season – we love the idea of mixing this turquoise stripe pattern with a fun pair of coral sandals. By the way, these slide sandals are from Target…. AKA one of our favorite places to shop for sandals in the summer! Layer a crisp button-up shirt over the dress. Be sure to pop the collar and tie the button-up shirt at the waist to give the look some shape.

And let’s take a moment to talk about summer bags. We can tend to get ourselves in trouble with bags for summer. There are SO many good ones to choose from… And they are all just so fun. We fell in love with this wicker crossbody when shopping for a client the other week. It is a bit of an investment, but a piece that will have a home in your summer closet for years to come!

How To Maximize Summer Accessories

Summer accessories are our favorite because they always incorporate varying colors, textures, and patterns. A simple dress in a solid color is perfect for having some fun with your accessories to create countless different looks and vibes. Ladies, style tip. Don’t be afraid to pair a mainly white sneaker with a black dress. We love the way a white sneaker pops against a black dress.

A word on water resistant bangles. Now that Memorial Day is here, it is time to pull them out… Or invest in some if you don’t have any. A set of waterproof bangles like these from Budha Girl instantly elevates any look around the pool, lake, or beach. And you can even swim in them! This set would also make a spectacular gift for a recent graduate!
