The Range: White Dresses for Summer

Jul 25, 2019

August is almost upon us.  I remember being on the Hill and just counting the days.  Vacations, long lunches, happy hours, working 40-hour weeks.  It felt like bliss.

And in August, I wear white.  The crisp freshness of summer.  The breezy lightness of sunshine.  So let’s talk about white dresses.

    How is the quality on Lark & Ro? I’ve been looking for a simple white dress that I could wear to my (very) casual office in the summers, and this looks good. I only want to buy one that will last many seasons.

      I am also curious about Lark & Ro! This dress is so lovely and simple… though I -really- don’t trust myself with white. I managed to get strawberry juice on two separate white tees in the same weekend, because I’m a messy child who loves drippy fruit.

      To all the Hill readers: congrats on out of session!

    How do you keep your whites “white?” I consider myself a tidy person and have still lost multiple pieces this season to everyday stains (white tees with yellow deodorant marks, linen pants with stains from walking in the sand, etc). I have washed with Oxyclean to no avail.

    • Clara says:

      I don’t think just washing works. I soak my white clothes in hot oxyclean over night then wash and it pulls out 90% of stains.

    • jules says:

      when wearing white shirts I highly recommend using deodorant, not anti-perspirant. You don’t want aluminum in the ingredients, which expedites the yellowing.

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
