Being easy, breezy and youthful, sundresses are the epitome of summer. Getting the right one for your bust size can be anything but easy and breezy. Here’s a quick primer on what to look for.

Ann Taylor

A high neckline will keep your bra hidden and eliminate any fears of spilling out. Make sure the dress fits you well under the bust to keep your figure curvy, not blocky.

Garnet Hill

Bust line details and slight gathering will emphasize and enhance a petite chest.

Boden

The moderate neckline, fitted waist and slight aline skirt of this dress makes it a flattering choice for anyone.

I love summer rain and am pretending the little bit of drizzle here in San Francisco counts as the beginning of monsoon season. Clothing wise, it’s a challenge- you want to be cool and dry. And if you’re on vacation, it also needs to be packable. With a little bit of low pressure planning, you can beat the summer time rainy day wardrobe blues.

Latte by Coffee Shop

Something lightweight and waterproof will keep you going on your merry way. Since summer is the season of frivolity, look for a bright color or feminine details.

Crate & Barrel

Why lug a black cloud around over your head? Instead, choose a bright cabana-inspired umbrella. This one’s eco chic and matches all sorts of tropical drinks.

Cole Haan

A slight platform sandal with a rubber sole is the next best thing to men throwing their coats over puddles or carrying you across them.
