The Summer Edit: Cotton Dresses, Cool Prices

Summer is all about easy dressing, and nothing makes getting dressed easier than a simple cotton dress. But let’s be real, summer is also about sunscreen, sweat, chlorine, and sand. So we get it, you might not want to splurge on pieces that could take a beating. I just got back from Bermuda and managed to ruin a Tibi skirt after wearing it once. I wanted to cry.

That’s why when the temps rise, we make sure to bring in warm-weather styles that don’t feel like a major investment. No, they’re not Amazon-level cheap, but when we do our spring and summer buying, we focus on dresses that feel good, look good, and stay (somewhat) budget-friendly.

Xirena is always a favorite, this LA-based brand knows how to do relaxed, effortless style, and their quality is consistently top-tier. We also have gorgeous options from Frank & Eileen, Emerson Fry, and even a chic pick from Apiece Apart.

And don’t sleep on the sale section! You’ll find beautiful Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard dresses marked under $300—yes, really.

Swing by The Hive and try a few on, we’re stocked with easy, flattering styles perfect for now…especially before everyone heads out of town in August.

Owner | The Shoe Hive/The Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
