Here’s the thing about summer-haters: You can’t live in black dresses alone. Sure, they help you easily transition from winter to spring and spring to summer but with the incessant heat and humidity, you’ve got to switch it up. Sandals can only do so much, and that pool of sweat on your lower back means you can’t stay in your transition rut…

Which is where a good summer dress comes in. Imagine the joy of buying a new linen dress or light linen top that you can wear immediately, to beat the crushing heat. It’s perfection especially when in the middle of summer. Take these dress styles by La Bottega di Brunella— the shape is one of the brand’s classics- authentically Italian, so Positano!

The combining of the Mediterranean nonchalant charm in a play on shades of gray and white in a cooling eco-friendly flax texture. And now it comes in three new variations- long, short or asymmetric for easy peasy daytime wear. Something to wear besides a black slip dress and flat sandals.
