One piece that is a perfect summer wardrobe staple is a blue striped dress! In my opinion, there are few fabrics that scream summer more than stripes – hello nautical vibes! Although stripes look chic in a variety of styles, my personal favorite way to wear blue stripes is in the form of a classic shirtdress. A shirtdress is a great silhouette that looks effortlessly chic on warm summer days. Here is how to style a blue striped dress for summer.
My exact blue striped shirt dress is an older style from Abercrombie. This season, they have updated the style to this shirt dress, which I also think looks really nice! For some other styles, also see this flirty off-the-shoulder style, this midi dress, this shirt dress, this shift dress, and this tiered maxi dress.
For another alternative, striped rompers and jumpsuits are also perfect for summer! See these styles from Abercrombie (jumpsuit and romper), Lulus (romper), and Old Navy (linen jumpsuit and linen-blend jumpsuit).
The perfect summer accessories to pair with your blue striped dress are a straw hat and flip flops! This straw hat from Brixton is the best (also seen here and here)! It’s a great summer staple – everyone should have a wide brimmed hat in their closet! It helps to keep the sun off of your face and is such a classic and chic style!
These flip flops from Old Navy are super affordable (only $3.50!) and come in a bunch of other colors! I’ve been buying flip flops from Old Navy for years! They’re a great option if you don’t want to spend more money for brands like Rainbow and Havaianas.
