Even with the humidity levels down, it’s still extremely hot outside and we’ve found the best way to stay cool is in a dress! As one of our favorite types of clothing, we are big advocates for the dress. They’re easy, they can be dressed up or down, and even if you’re alarm didn’t go off this morning and you got ready in under five minutes, you still look put together!

Here are our five Purple Poppy picks:

1. Sail to Sable Striped Cotton Long Sleeve Tunic

The classic Sail to Sable silhouette that launched the brand – the long sleeve tunic. It’s 100% cotton, features a subtle blue and white stripe pattern, and is machine washable!

2. Madison Matthews Dress

We are all for the tunic style dresses this summer! Tania Stephens from 50 Is Not Old styled our Madison Matthews Dress with a fun pair of tassel drop earrings and flat sandals for a fun day with her grandkids.

3. Lola Dress

The Lola Dress is giving us preppy gals all the boho vibes. The deep purple color and white and pink detailing gives this oversized dress a feminine touch. Pair it with sandals for running errands or your favorite wedges for girls night out!

4. Julie Brown Reina Dress

This navy dress will have you feeling good and looking better! Perfect for bridal showers, graduations parties, and cocktail hours, the ruffle detailing will be a conversation starter wherever you wear this beauty.

5. Sail to Sable Slub Sleeveless Tunic Dress

Another Sail to Sable staple, the sleeveless tunic dress has a gorgeous metallic gold trim and navy blue stripe that channels the preppy girl in all of us. We guarantee you’ll be wearing this dress all summer and well into the fall with your favorite cardigan.
