I'm Convinced This Iconic Summer Dress Trend Will Never Go Out Of Style

There was definitely a time, oh, I'd say two years ago, when puff-sleeve prairie dresses felt new and trendy. Fast-forward to the present day, and the dress style has died down in the trend category, but as far as classic dress styles go, it's made its way to the top. Puff-sleeve dresses are sweet and easy and, after maintaining a shelf life longer than one season, have deemed themselves rather iconic. Over the years, they have certainly evolved, making them perfect for every style type and occasion on the map. This dress style can be both casual and formal and, particularly in the summertime, proves to be the go-to for fashion girls everywhere.
