3. The Wrap Dress

The wrap dress is a classic wardrobe staple that’s chic, elegant, and figure-flattering. It’s also incredibly popular with style icons, including Kate Middleton, who famously wore a wrap dress when she announced her engagement to Prince William back in 2010.
This beautiful style of dress is so versatile and can be easily dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
4. The Seersucker Dress
Products: Crossbody Bag – Kate Spade (Bloomingdales), Sunglasses – Privé Revaux, Sandals – Jack Rogers, Dress – J.Crew, Bracelet – Honora (Helzberg)
Seersucker is the definition of preppy. During spring and summer, you can see this print, and its “cousin” gingham, just about everywhere! Preppy girls have seersucker everything. Whether it’s a pair of shorts a blazer or a top, we love anything made with this gorgeous fabric.
5. The Polo Dress
Products: Perfume – Chloé (Sephora), Sneakers – Keds x Kate Spade, Bag – Calvin Klein (6pm), Eyeshadow Palette – Gade Cosmetics, Sunglasses – Michael Kors (Overstock), Dress – Lacoste (Amazon)
Polo dresses and preppy style go hand-in-hand. Popularized by brands such as Ralph Lauren and Lacoste, polo dresses have timeless design and are so comfortable. Of course, they have a sporty vibe, so play it up with sneakers and big sunglasses for a comfy-chic look.
6. The Ruffle Dress
Products: Clutch – Jessica McClintock (Nordstrom Rack), Perfume – Chanel (Macy’s), Dress – Chelsea 28 (Nordstrom), Heels – Nina (Zappos), Blush – Benefit (Urban Outfitters)
The ruffle dress is preppy perfection. I am a big fan of this dress because I simply adore the flutter sleeve and neckline. This dress style flows beautifully when you walk and is a very ladylike choice. You can’t go wrong with a piece like this!
