The summer dress is such a staple
Stories of its demise are always doing the rounds
that we will abandon the summer dress in favour of
linen trousers
a skirt
shorts
But you can’t beat a dress
Its great secret is that it’s one garment
Just one
Wearing one garment is the ultimate in simple dressing
You can’t reduce the number of garments to wear
without wearing nothing
This simplicity
is the key to ultimate style
One dress
no fuss
very simple
You can actually wear a dress in a luxury fabric
with flip flops
So go expensive
but relaxed
Wear an expensive fabric
in a very simple style
Don’t wear your summer dress too tight
it will look wrong
Well fitted is fine but not grippy
So one dress
with simple shoes
and your hair brushed
and a simple piece of jewellery
You’ll look amazing
And stay cool too
Don’t underestimate simplicity
