Embracing a darker palette in the heat of summer? Take style cues from Andie MacDowell's smart outfit ensemble.
Swapping Summer Brights for Chic Black Ensembles ✨
Summer might lean towards bold prints and vibrant hues, but a black outfit still slays when the sun is shining high. Take a leaf out of Andie MacDowell's book – she aced it in a classic black dress at Cannes Film Festival, looking like an absolute goddess.
At 67, she exuded effortless elegance with her simplistic cotton wrap dress and threw in a dose of 'wow-factor' with some '2025 sunglasses trends' – oversized aviators. This classic style never goes out of fashion, lending a timeless, retro feel to any attire. Her accessories game was on point too – a spacious tote bag and a pair of MaxMara leather sandals rounded off her look perfectly.
The Four Weddings and a Funeral actress cleverly used her accessories to give her outfit a summery vibe, making it a chic example of how the right finishing touches can make all the difference.
A shirt dress, like the one worn by Andie, is perfect for hot days. You can style it to fit various occasions – matching her bag and shoes created a modern, polished look, but go for leopard print ballet flats, a slouchy clutch, or even some chunky Birkenstocks and a wide-brimmed hat for a change.
Dress to Impress with the Black Ensemble
This dress can be worn straight and loose or tied at the waist to add a bit of definition and shape.
Stay on-trend with these minimalist leather sandals. They go with anything and everything in your wardrobe. If black isn't your cup of tea, opt for the chocolate brown colorway.
If you're unsure about sunglasses trends, remember that aviators are classic and a safe bet. They're stylish and add sophistication to any sunny day outfit. If you're going for the open-collar style with puffed sleeves on this dress, it has a laid-back, relaxed feel.
These designer imposters will elevate your outfit while keeping your wallet happy. They're versatile – they'll work just as well with dresses or jeans.
The adjustable drawstring waist of this one lets you tailor it to fit your body type and keep you comfy. Pair it with matching accessories for a polished look, or contrast it with a straw bag and colorful pumps for a fun pop of color.
Darker colors don't have to be left behind in summer, especially if you prefer black. If black makes you feel comfortable, go for it! Other deeper tones like charcoal grey and navy can also be fun in the sun. Just add seasonal accessories to lighten up your look, and you're all set for warm weather.
