Dress for your plans and the weather. For a celebration with friends, start with a colorful piece you’ll wear again and choose shoes that suit the venue.
Casual cookout
Pair a bright top with relaxed denim or a simple skirt. Wear flat sandals or sneakers if you’ll be on grass.
Outdoor festival
Try a breathable printed midi dress with comfortable shoes and a crossbody bag. Bring a light layer if you’ll be out past sunset.
Dinner with friends
Wear a solid dress in coral, green, or blue and add earrings. A low block heel works well if the evening involves walking between stops.
