I feel like everyone needs a great summer dress in white or black — and this version from M.M.LaFleur looks fabulous.

I love the circular eyelet (so fresh and lovely!), the collar, the drop waist, and the shorter skirt lining. It feels sophisticated but fun — the kind of dress you could wear with flats on vacation but also with heels for date night.

It’s $529, at M.M.LaFleur, available in both white and black.

Some other cute possibilities for chic white summer dresses include these options from Z Supply, Staud, ASTR, Cleobella, and Peixoto. (For some nice black summer dresses, I love these from Michael Stars, Rails, Theory, Staud (exclusive to Shopbop!), Vince — and this stripey one is lovely!)

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

When I was first starting my career, I found a Calvin Klein dress at Macy’s that fit me perfectly, so I bought it in three colors.

I wore the heck out of those dresses in my junior associate years when I was still trying to figure out what on earth “business casual” meant in a white-shoe law firm. (And what it meant in 2010 is very different from what it means today!)

In any event, I still recommend Calvin Klein for building a work wardrobe on a budget, and this scuba crepe fit-and-flare is just begging for someone to buy it in all six colors. I really like the meadow green, but you can also grab black, navy, and gray basics. 

The dress is $49.97 at Nordstrom Rack and comes in sizes 2-14.
