Embrace your preppy side this summer for an easy weekend look that’s equal parts elegant and fresh. A casual day dress is the ideal piece for when you feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear…just throw it on and go. Forget about the country club membership, these clean lines and sporty details—think collars, subtle print, and lightweight fabrics—evoke east coast sophistication, no yacht required. Complete the look with minimal makeup and delicate accessories.
