Early spring's chilly weather is causing me to feel a little stir crazy, so it's high time to starting thinking about summer dresses. This year's perfect summer dress for tall women? Definitely a fit-and-flare knee- or tea-length dress in a light fabric and soft pattern. Tall women can feel good pairing it with flats or this year's must-have wedge. Pop a couple bangles on your arms and you're perfectly attired for a walk along the boardwalk, an outdoor concert or an afternoon wedding.
My favorite dress collection for summer is Marc by Marc Jacobs - the clothing is spendy, but well-made and classic, sure to carry you well beyond the hot days of summer. For similar dresses at a fraction of the cost, try shopping Victoria's Secret, J. Crew or Anthropologie.
