Dolman Sleeve Dresses Keep You Cool For Summer!

When the weather's unbearably hot, you're more likely to want to wear the least amount of clothing possible -- tank, spaghetti-strap, one-sleeved, or full-on strapless -- but hear me out! While dolman sleeves do require that extra bit of fabric, despite their intended volume, they're still breezy and cool for the stagnant summer weather when you want to branch out from something sleeveless (or the occasional calls for something a bit more modest) but still want the same breathability. Despite their specific style, dolman sleeve dresses are totally versatile to boot! For example, go casual-cool with a cut-out t-shirt dress like this Splendid jersey dress or this tie-dye Gypsy 05 version, as worn by Nicky Hilton, or for a dressier night-out look, this sheer sequined dress from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent is short but chic! Check out the slideshow for my 10 favorite dolman styles!

Stand Out In Powerhouse Pink Like Kristin Cavallari

Always one to command attention, Hills vixen Kristin Cavallari made a show-stopping splash at the L.A. premiere of When in Rome thanks to her powerhouse pink Naven frock. This color is definitely one of my favorites for obvious reasons- it is stunning and so flattering against all skin tones. Powerhouse pink can make even the greatest of wallflowers come out of their shells and is the kind of color that delivers instant confidence. There really is no wrong way to wear it! Team it with neutrals for a subdued effect or with black for a more edgy vibe. Either way, this dress was made to do all the talking, so take a cue from Kristin and keep the accessories to a minimum. Check out my slideshow to get the exact dress seen on Kristin and for similar options!
