Kaia Gerber has been spending time in New York this summer, and if you're doing the same, you know that the heat has been brutal lately. I find that dressing for NYC summers is a bit tricky, as I want to strike the balance of wearing outfits that are polished but will also keep me cool in the sweltering heat. And Gerber just provided the perfect inspiration with a dress trend that's perfect for daytime.
LBDs for nighttime are kind of a no-brainer, but for the more casual daytime, they can take a little more thought. And Gerber opted for the perfect trend for a hot summer day: a romantic full-skirt dress. Her black dress is by Dôen, one of her go-to brands, and it features puffed sleeves, a scooped neckline, and a smocked waist. And since it's made from 100% cotton, she's staying as cool as possible.
With that, keep scrolling to shop the romantic LBD trend that Gerber paired with ballet flats.
