One of the biggest changes in my personal style in the past couple of years has been an increased affinity for neutral, comfortable dresses that can just as easily be dressed up as they can down. I had a handful of sundresses in my early 20s and would attempt to make them “work appropriate” by adding a cardigan and wearing flats to make the hem length look as modest as possible. (This was somewhat passable as a college intern but I probably did it longer than was professionally acceptable…whoops.) Most of them were fit and flare–so fitted up top and swishy on the bottom–and a couple of years ago, I found selling and donating those in favor of more sheath and straight styles. A less fitted style can sometimes be boxy but I find them to be so much more comfortable–particularly on hot days–and simultaneously more “grown up,” in a way. Don’t get me wrong, I still have and love some fit and flare dresses, but have surprised myself in reaching for these straighter silhouettes that I initially thought would be frumpy and shapeless on my figure!
