A casual dress can make you feel fun and flirty in an easy, effortless way. Wearing dresses is not nearly as common as it was years ago, with many women now choosing to wear jeans or leggings when they feel like dressing casually. Yet there are many dresses that stray away from the formal or clubbing look, allowing you to feel casual and feminine. Casual dresses are available in a variety of materials including cottons, linens, silk, knits and blends. These dresses come in prints, stripes, floral patterns, solids and the trendy color blocking style. When looking for a casual dress to wear year-round, focus on simple and clean lines. The best part about a casual dress is that it can be worn throughout the seasons with a simple change of footwear and accessories. For a cute look for the spring season wear the dress with flats and a cardigan. In the summer switch your flats for sandals and ditch the cardigan. For these warm seasons keep your accessories smaller, with simple jewelry and a small cross body bag. Moving into fall you can add a full sweater, tights and chunky jewels. In the winter grab a thicker sweater, add knit tights and your favorite boots. For these seasons, the bigger the accessories the better. Great stores to find a casual dress are J. Crew and Target. The price of a casual dress varies greatly, meaning that there is something for everyone.
