Summer is here, and you know what that means. It’s time to take out that easy-breezy summer dress. As we’ve entered a new lockdown this year, too, let’s take a break from our usual PJs (we spent enough time in them last year) and slip into some fluid dresses. From solid colours to refreshing prints in mini, midi, and maxi silhouettes, let your favourite stars show you how to style the summer dress this season.

A t-shirt dress is something you can wear indoors and outdoors. Wondering how to amp it up? All you need is a statement bag, belt and sunnies.

Nothing screams summer more than a yellow-coloured dress. While the Gen Z star has kept her button-down strappy dress minimal and paired it with tie-up stilettos, you can choose to accessorise it with a dainty necklace and flat sandals.

Pastels are a must-have in your summer colour palette and the best part is even if you keep it plain without accessorising it, it still makes a statement. Case in point: Alia's fuss-free wrap dress with knot detailing.
