Though most of us are likely enjoying the best parts of spring right now (gardens perking up, beautiful temperatures, and fresh produce, to say the least) we're all too aware that summer is right around the corner. Our Alabama-based editors know the struggle of summer heat all too well—and how long it lasts. Our top tip for the ladies: easy, breezy dresses.
Let's be honest: No one wants to wear pants in the summer. So put down the blouses (we know how cute they are, but they're just not practical). Summer is the season for dresses that are easy to throw on, allow for plenty of airflow, and, most importantly, don't show sweat stains. Another key factor: affordability. Sure, we'll splurge on a dress we can wear to an outdoor event in August, but you won't see us shelling out the big bucks for an everyday dress we'll run to the grocery store in on a Tuesday afternoon. Luckily for you, we've included both options here. So get those clicking fingers ready, girls.
