You can’t deny the fuss-free functionality of a summer dress. Whether it’s a flowy maxi, a sexy sundress or a colourful skater dress, this is one item you want or should have in your closet this season. Plus, living in sunny Malaysia gives you a more than legitimate excuse to wear these dresses. For this season, we are totally crushing on printed summer frocks and the best part is, you don’t have to over accessorise when you have a printed dress on.
Here are seven types of printed summer frocks that will make a bold statement!
1. Tropical
Tropical prints are cute and fun and there’s something about it that screams vacation. If you’re worried about pulling off some of the more whimsical or childish prints, try this pretty one from Topshop!
2. Stripes
Stripes will never go out of style in our humble opinion. Instead of the usual blacks and navy blues, why not opt for a bold print with punchy colours that turn up the heat?
3. Ikat
This traditional Asian print is sophisticated and perhaps a little more approachable than batik. If you’re looking for an alternative to Aztec prints, Ikat prints are your best bet and they look particularly cute on maxi dresses.
4. Geometric
A short geometric print dress is fun and effortless. Whether you’re out and about running errands or going on a short vacay, a simple geometric print dress is all you need for understated style.
5. Floral
Let’s move away from the cliché of florals for spring and embrace blooms all year round. Floral prints range from feminine to abstract and whatever you fancy, it’s pretty hard to go wrong with this lovely print.
6. Watercolour
Not a fan of loud prints or bold colours? Why not choose a subtle, barely there smear of watercolour hues this season? Our tip is to style it with loads of chunky accessories!
7. Digital
Whether you’re a fan of fluorescent digital prints or a more subdued one, a strapless maxi with botanical prints are great for weekend brunches or a garden party. This gorgeous online exclusive number from Mango is super sweet and the addition of a thin belt gives it an edge.
