Dresses are IN for the season and if you’re a fan of sundresses in pretty bright blooms, the time for getting clad in them is here.

With short hemlines that allow freedom for heat-y legs to breathe and lower your overall body temperature, going about your day running errands, strolling in the park or brunching with buddies or your love bird will be a peach.

Pale legs that have not seen direct sunlight may get some color and you’ll also be more than happy to work up some exercise routine to get your stems toned.

How’s that for getting motivated to stay fit? Bikini season sees the rise in the number of young females hitting the gym and this is compounded with the desire to look their best in short breezy dresses. Tis’ a season for keeping healthy even if it’s driven by sheer vanity.

The season’s summer dress styles go with the flow of trends broadcasted from above to the ground. But practicality prevails in the presence of scorching temperature and dizzying humidity. Stick with dresses in breathable fabrics as they are ultimately your best friend, especially if you’re in tropical Malaysia.

From skater styles to demure retro pencil silhouettes, mini summer dresses are all about fun in the sun reflected in their bright colorful hues. Floral prints come by a multitude of interpretations that even the most non-girly girls can’t help but be seduced.

The important question is: how to choose a summer dress that flatters your figure?

The key is to work with your body type, naturally. There’s no use in getting the exact dress style as your best friend or a celebrity because it looks good (on them) when you are in the possession of a different body shape altogether.

A short summer dress by design necessitates some degree of leg exposure. If you are petite, a shorter hem length will help to create an illusion of height.

If you have a boyish frame or heavy in the middle, pick a dress with an empire waist (or darts at the waist) to create a curve for a more feminine-looking silhouette. If you’re particularly conscious of your hips and do not want to accentuate them, pick a dress with an A-line skirt or is flared at the edges to throw focus away.

Girls who are not comfortable with thigh-flaunting may opt for summer dresses that graze the knee. If you’re a proud owner toned legs and want to showcase them, the most mini of minis will be right up your alley. For some extra pizzazz, find summer dresses with one or two side slits.

“My style is streamlined, sophisticated and simple, so I usually go for a dress. No matching involved. I am bad at matching! I like easy and when you’re done, it looks like a second skin. I wear dresses every day for that reason. It’s easy!” — Hoda Kotb
