Several summers ago, I fell for the drop-waist dress trend when New York-based label Khaite introduced the “Lynette” dress as part of its Resort 2022 collection. Its full billowing bell-shaped skirt captivated me, which almost gave the illusion of being layered over a crinoline skirt. At the time, the low-slung waist was an unconventional cut amidst a sea of A-line and mini dresses, and I admittedly assumed the silhouette would be short-lived.
I've seen enough to know that this style isn't letting up this summer, and rightly so. A midi or ankle-length drop-waist dress can function as the perfectstyled alongside elevated sandals. If you've got a full day of outdoor activities, a laid-back cotton or linen style paired withcan take you from a rooftop brunch to an al fresco dinner.
Every product that we feature comes recommended by a MC writer or editor, or by an expert we've spoken to.For a streamlined summer outfit, look no further than a white maxi dress designed with a subtle low-slung waistline. Thanks to its neutral hue and uncomplicated shape, plenty of styling routes exist. Consider anchoring your look with statement pumps and a glossy. To show skin, look toward Khaite and Lovers and Friends for revealing silhouettes.
