THE BEST LIGHTWEIGHT DRESSES TO SURVIVE THE SUMMER HEAT
Texas heat is no joke. We’re already circling triple-digit temperatures, and, with this week’s official start to summer, it’s only going to go up from here.
This kind of heat dictates day-to-day wardrobe choices and, really, the only reprieve, sartorially-speaking, is a uniform of lightweight dresses that can breathe through the stickiest summer days. I have found some really great dresses (see: here, here, and here) lately on Me+Em, including this halter-neck number. This dress really checks all the right boxes. Not only is it super light and airy, but it also has this relaxed texture to it that gives it a no-iron-needed magic, making it a true day-to-night number. These kinds of thoughtful details are present throughout the entire Me+Em collection, but especially to the dresses.
Read on for my hit list of Me+Em favorites that are sure to become summer wardrobe heroes.
CHEESECLOTH DAISY PRINT DRESS
This halter-neck dress really checks all the right boxes. Not only is it super light and airy, but it also has this relaxed texture to it that gives it a no-iron-needed magic, making it a true day-to-night number. It’s a must-pack for a beach vacation.

CROSSOVER MAXI DRESS
If the color alone isn’t enough to instigate an immediate purchase then perhaps this will tip the scale: this flattering dress is crafted from a linen that has been imbued with viscose for minimal creasing so it maintains that crisp polish all day and night.
SHOP
TRAVEL TAILORING BOAT NECK DRESS
This is the dress that put Me+Em on my short list. Not only is it a timeless dress, but it’s crafted from a Ponte-jersey material that keeps it comfortable and gives it that crease-free wearability that we wish every dress had. This dress will look just as polished at 8 pm as it did at 8 am. Magic.
SHOP
FRINGED MIDI DRESS
With nods to a classic shirt dress, this cotton-blend number offers a bit more structure , making it the kind of dress you can wear straight from the office to happy hour.
SHOP
ITALIAN TEXTURED SHIFT DRESS
I love an A-line silhouette! What makes this one extra special is the material. It’s an Italian crafted cotton which was specifically chosen because it holds its shape and creates a sculptural (rather than a “tent”) silhouette.
