The beauty of a summer dress is that it can take you through the hottest months of the year and transition you right into the new season. During warm-weather days, reach for dresses when you need something airy, non-constricting, and all-in-one. When fall arrives, wear the same styles and layer on a cardigan or moto jacket to manage those in-between temps.
