You’ve probably noticed that Who What Wear editors have written quite a few stories about the pieces that get us the most compliments. These days, the only people seeing my outfits are my parents and my dogs, so I’ll spare you their biased takes on my summer looks. However, I’ll still tell you that I’ve lived in easygoing dresses for months now. Although I’ve been on a strict budget during the quarantine, I am willing to spend money on classic dresses.
If you’re ready to make the investment too, you’ve come to the right place. I came up with a handful of my favorite dress trends that will definitely stand the test of time. Classic, timeless, perennially chic, ageless—whatever you want to call it, I guarantee you won’t cringe at these classic summer dressers 10 years from now.
