I Can't Stop Thinking About Cute Minidresses so I Just Treated Myself to These 7
When it comes to dresses, it tends to feel like people have pretty strong preferences for where they like them to end. I know some who would never be seen out of a midi or max length. But for me, it's all about the mini. Especially in the summer, minidresses are the most effortless outfit you can consider. Every style looks cute with sandals, clogs, loafers, sneakers, mules… I can keep going. Most can be dressed up, but you always know you are going to look cute and casual no matter what minidress you grab. So here I shopped my favorites from this year: There are puff sleeves and cut-outs, smocked and corseted bodices, flowy skirts and formfitting ones, too; plus an array of shades from pink and yellow to floral and polka dots.
Before 2021, I hadn't worn pink in decades. I think bringing it into my wardrobe this year has done more for my mood than any amount of vitamin D ever could. There's also just something so perfect about the balance between structure and airiness in this dress. I know I'll be wearing it to a variety of events this summer.
Another formfitting number because once I get something in my head it's hard to get it out. I'd style this ruffly dress with silver chain jewelry and black oxfords for a dinner with friends, but I might create a more feminine look with heeled sandals depending on my mood.
Aralyn Beaumont joinedBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing as the copy editor for branded content after a career in food media. Years of poring over intricate recipes with a fine-tooth comb and working with high-profile chefs has prepared her well for working with fashion's top brands while honoringBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing 's voice. Her background as a research editor makes her a finicky editor who will probably care too much about making sure all copy is as factually accurate and aligned with the house style guide as can be. Maybe it's because she's a Gemini, but her personal style is impossible to pin down: One day you'll see her in a turtleneck sweater tucked into a midi skirt with heeled boots, and the next, she'll be wearing mom jeans, a white Hanes tee, and classic Vans. At the end of the day, her style reflects her various moods. Sometimes it will be feminine and elegant, and others it will be grungy or androgynous. Certain things will always remain constant, though. She'll forever be on the hunt for the perfect pair of high-waisted jeans.
