When it comes to more formal events, such as weddings or garden parties, sundresses can still shine. Look for slightly dressier fabrics like chiffon or satin, and silhouettes that are a bit more structured, like a fit-and-flare or a midi-length wrap dress. Accessorize with heels, statement jewelry, and a clutch for a polished, event-ready look.
"According to industry expert Jessica Thompson, 'Sundresses are a wonderful option for summer weddings and other formal occasions. The right sundress can strike the perfect balance between elegance and effortlessness.'" For a wedding guest ensemble, consider Rown's "Emilia" sundress, with its delicate lace detailing and midi length, paired with a pair of strappy heels and a dainty necklace.

Caring for Your Sundresses
To keep your sundresses looking their best, it's important to follow proper care instructions. Delicate fabrics like chiffon or lace may require hand-washing or gentle machine cycles, while sturdier materials like cotton or linen can often be machine-washed on a regular cycle. Always air-dry your sundresses to preserve their shape and vibrant colors.
FAQ
Q: How do I choose the right sundress for my body type? A: When selecting a sundress, focus on silhouettes that flatter your figure. Pear-shaped bodies may look best in A-line or fit-and-flare styles, while hourglass figures can pull off wrap dresses or cinched waists. Experiment with different lengths and necklines to find what makes you feel most confident.
Q: Can I wear a sundress to the office? A: Absolutely! With the right accessories and styling, sundresses can be office-appropriate. Look for midi or knee-length dresses in more structured fabrics, and pair them with a blazer or cardigan. Avoid overly casual or revealing styles.
Q: How do I transition a sundress from day to night? A: Sundresses are incredibly versatile and can easily be dressed up or down. For a night out, swap your daytime sandals for a pair of heels, add a statement necklace or earrings, and consider topping the look with a leather jacket or shawl.
