A common misconception about loose-fitting dresses is that they’re not as flattering as fitted styles. Yes, this may be true some of the time — but when you find frocks that are loose in the right places, they can be even more captivating! In fact, boxier dresses can look slimming if the design is executed properly — and they’re far more comfortable and easy to wear.
Looser dresses are also key summer garments. Simply throw one on, reach for a trusty pair of sandals and you’re ready to roll! With that in mind, we decided to check out a few of our favorite places to shop to discover new garments that will suit virtually every body type. Whether you need a casual dress for everyday wear or a fresh look for an upcoming party, we have your needs covered in the frock lineup below!
