This week, we’re celebrating “A Week in Dresses,” featuring a curated lineup that proves just how versatile this summer essential really is. For the next seven days, we’ll be laying out your plans, along with the perfect set of dresses to match. Monday meeting? These styles will get you right out of bed. Saturday wedding? This piece will garner you record-setting likes on that photo hashtagged for the happy couple.
While we’ve set the stage for you to spend seven stylish days in dresses, we decided it was only fair for us to do the same. Devising a little challenge for ourselves, we asked our office’s most casual cool-girls to trade in their jeans and tees for a day in a dress. Once our girls put on an everyday piece that fit their taste, they went about their routine, ultimately deciding if a dress can really make it as their new uniform. Read on for their final verdicts…
Divya Pathak, Buyer
“My typical everyday style is tailored and bold. I usually wear an oversized jacket or blazer, high-waisted bottoms and a silk blouse or tee. I always accessorize with a beltand gold jewelry. I definitely don’t wear dresses as often as I’d like to, but this stunning parrot green one from Victoria Beckham made me feel chic, vibrant and timeless. If one dress can make me feel beautiful and feminine, then I’ll absolutely make them a more frequent addition to my closet.”
Erica Chen, Digital Marketing Manager
“My usual outfit is a t-shirt and jeans. I like a look that’s cool, laidback and easy – I usually only wear a dress if I’m heading somewhere fun after work! At first, I was nervous about putting on a piece that felt too fussy or frilly, so I was relieved when I found this T by Alexander Wang dress. It’s simple yet edgy and sexy without being too revealing. It’s also versatile. I can go straight from the office to happy hour with just a quick shoe change. Did I mention how comfortable it is too? I typically wouldn’t gravitate towards a silhouette like this, but after wearing this piece for a day, I think I need to be open-minded about reaching for a dress more often.”
Rose Tran, E-commerce Stylist
“During the summer, you can usually find me in my favorite pair of high-waisted straight leg denim, a silk tank and a great pair of shoes. I’ll buy dresses for a special event or occasion, but I rarely work them to work! This A.L.C piece, though, was comfortable, effortless and a nice reminder of the versatility of a great dress.”
Deanna Franco, Retail Marketing & Events Assistant Manager
“My go-to outfit is jeans and a bodysuit with flats. I’ll only wear a dress to an event like a wedding or engagement party. At first, I thought I’d be out of my comfort zone in a super girly dress, but I ended up feeling great in this one from Saloni! It made me more open to wearing a dress throughout my day-to-day.”
