When you're working with scorching summer temperatures there are only a few clothing items that you can turn to to see you through your day fluster-free. Of course, Laura Harrier identified two of the chicest, heatwave-proof items in circulation right now for her trip to Milan.
Selecting a lightweight shirred dress with fine spaghetti straps, Harrier's dress choice employed some clever design tricks to ensure all-day comfort. With a billowy skirt and mid-calf cut, the trending dress delivered constant breathability to fight against the hot Italian sun—as well as an elegant finish that had her looking put-together all day. Wearing her shirred dress with another summer-ready staple, Harrier selected mary jane flats in a trending pale blue shade to wear with her dark black dress. With a flat finish and buckle strap detail, the mary jane shoe trend remains one of the chicest and most comfortable styles on the market this season.
Whilst Harrier picked an apt place to debut the new shirred dress trend, fashion people in London—who are working with a slightly chillier climate, have already embraced the trend this season. Offering a form-fitting silhouette in the most comfortable manner, the shirred dress trend features ribbing across the bodice that hugs the body, without constricting it—making it an easy choice for hot summer days.
