It's dress season! Summer is around the corner, and with the warmer weather comes the perfect opportunity to break out your favorite dresses. Dresses are the most effortless outfits; they are the go-to for this season and ideal for those who are just starting their fashion journey or want to take the stress out of getting dressed.

One of the easiest ways to style a dress is to let it flow freely. A maxi dress is perfect for those who want a comfortable, relaxed, and sexy look. You can choose a maxi dress or one that is fitted and hugs your curves. Either way, you'll look stylish and put together without much effort.

Another easy styling option is to belt your dress. It's perfect for ladies who want to accentuate their waistline and create a more defined silhouette. You can choose a belt that matches the color of your dress, or you can go for a contrasting color to add some flair. A belt can also jazz up a more casual dress, making it transitional for a night out. The look below is a knit dress (last season) from Banana Republic, a Forever 21 belt (old), Zara wedge sandals, and a Zara denim jacket (Banana Republic Denim jacket) currently on sale for $48.

Layer your dress with a jean jacket or structured blazer to add depth to your look. A jean jacket is perfect for a more laid-back look, while a structured blazer is perfect for a slightly elevated look. You can belt the dress under the jacket or over the blazer; both ideas work.

Dresses are also versatile in terms of footwear. You can dress them up with a pair of pumps or dress them down with sneakers, increasing the cost per wear because of the multiple styling options. Dresses take the stress out of styling. You don't have to worry about matching a top and bottom; you can throw it on and go.

In conclusion, dresses are the most effortless outfit, PERIOD. So, go ahead and break out your favorite dresses this summer and take the stress out of styling.
