Style Tip of the Day: How to Dress Down a Skirt or Dress

When the weather is in the 90-degree Fahrenheit range, I only want to wear a dress, kaftan or skirt. I especially love the feel of a light, flowing fabric in a maxi length. If you feel too dressed up wearing a dress or skirt for every day, there’s a simple solution. Check out this style tip of the day:  how to dress down a skirt or dress. And then, if you like, you can find more Style Tips HERE for everyone. Age doesn’t matter.

Dress down a dress or skirt with casual footwear such as espadrilles.

Although these espadrilles are not for around the house, they are definitely for the weekend as they are totally not businesslike!

Instead of espadrilles, woven or canvas mules are a comfortable choice.

Style Tip Modcloth
Contest Winner Espadrille Wedge from Modcloth

These espadrilles probably won the contest because the wedges are more comfortable and stable than heels and the straps keep them snugly attached.
