Summer’s hottest days are right around the corner. With Connected Apparel, you can stay cool while maintaining your signature style day after day. From weekdays at the office to weekends around town, Connected Apparel’s dresses are made for summer.

During the busy summer months, being able to launder your favorite dresses at home can make a huge difference.

With easy-care dresses, you can wear your favorite pieces more often to practically every event on your calendar—from weddings to date nights.

Connected Apparel’s cocktail apparel, for instance, is made to be washed right at home. Some dresses are hand-wash only, while others may be machine-washed (always double-check the care directions, just to be sure). You can wear, wash, and repeat. It’s not just convenient—it can keep your favorite dresses in rotation from season to season longer, helping stretch your dollar further.

Connected Apparel Offers All the Looks You Want!

Of course, as much as you might love dresses made from airy and easy-to-care-for fabrics, they also have to look amazing! Connected Apparel connects all the dots to create dresses that capture the look and feel of summer. From fashion-forward florals to sleek monotones, you can find a wrap dress plus size, regular, and petite with a look that speaks your design language.

Consider Connected Apparel’s Lisa, for example. This faux wrap dress comes in several styles and can easily be worn at the office, at an outdoor wedding, or on the deck of a cruise ship.
