As Spring transitions into summer, it's finally time to bare a little skin ... which means it's time to stock up on one (or many) of the season's must-haves: the little white dress. We know, we know - white can be tough. But rest easy, because now you have plenty of shapes and styles to choose from: flirty, crisp cottons with crochet elements; flowing '50s-inspired linen frocks; sexy jewel-embellished day dresses that can easily transform for night; and, of course, this season's favorite, the iconic, mod-inspired shift dress. Top off your look with metallic accessories, including rings and bangles galore.
