Nothing dresses up a comfortable, casual dress more than adding accessories does. I added a belt and some platform sandals to this tent of a dress to give it some shape and structure for a day at work. It worked! That’s why a striped dress like this is a great staple–it’s neutral enough that any color can be added to it gracefully, and it always looks classic and fresh, even if you’ve worn it many times (like I have). This dress looks great with a statement necklace and yellow belt, a vest and dorky pose, and with a cardigan and boots, like I plan to wear it when the weather finally turns sane.
Try playing with your striped dresses to beat the summer doldrums with accessories!

I always love nautical! It’s one of my favorite themes.
Love it – definitely very versatile!
Love this look! I just found a stripe-y dress at the thrift store last week. Can’t wait to wear it this summer! I like the draping on yours – takes it up a level, fo’ sho’.

I actually don’t have a casual striped dress. I think that’s something I should pick up once next summer rolls around. It’s definitely super versatile.
