Type 3 Summer Dresses
What makes a dress a Type 3 summer dress? I’m so glad you asked.
Are you a dress gal? I certainly am, especially in the Summertime! There’s something so refreshing about throwing on a practical Summer dress, pairing it with some light Type 3 jewelry from our Dressing Your Truth store, and slipping into a comfy pair of sandals—or dressing it up if the occasion calls for it. As for makeup, I like to keep it simple with just my essentials: eyebrow powder, light blush, and lipliner and gloss.
But does this trend favor Type 3, and how can it work for your secondary?
Whether you’re a dress gal or not, Girlcore is a Summer trend that’s all about embracing more dresses. We can all find a great summer dress to style true to our Type 3 keywords, with influences from our secondary.
Any secondary Type considerations?
Type 3/1—Summer dresses are definitely a Type 3/1 favorite! Try swift-moving angels in floral patterns with flirty ruffles. Picture a pair of sandals, a light layered necklace, and some cute and edgy earrings. And let’s be real—you’re the type who wears sandals all year round, aren’t you?
Type 3/2—Summer dresses are your chance to bring out your softer side! Most Summer dresses have that flow and softness you love. Go for angled, texture, and soft.
Type 3/4—While many Type 3/4 women prefer skirts and tops, Summer dresses can still be a hit if you know what to look for. Just remember—not too flowy. Fitted dresses will feel better on you.
What keywords are important to remember for summer dresses: Angled, Texture
