As someone who leans towards more simple and casual pieces, finding a few unique and interesting items for my closet is something I should do more of. I love when a dress or top is one and done. They’re interesting and special and don’t require a lot of extra things. A statement piece, if you will.
I will say, I do love when a piece of clothing doesn’t require third pieces at all! Meaning these pieces don’t need a belt or a jacket to finish it off so it feels complete. And this dress I picked up from M.M.LaFleur is just that. And it got me thinking, I need a few more cool pieces in my closet.
While I’m probably still team ‘have more minimal easy pieces in your closet’, having a few standout cool and interesting items that you can rely on when you need a little fashion pick me up is kind of nice. Especially when they aren’t dressy pieces.
More everyday interesting, yet casual items you can wear every day is more satisfying than investing in that one nice little black dress you may wear to a few weddings over the years. Think about how much we spend on those LBD’s we rarely wear, let’s maybe shift that mindset to investing in pieces we’ll wear in our day to day life.
Unique And Interesting Summer Dresses To Try
Finding everyday casual dresses that are interesting and feel special is definitely a tall order. It’s easy to find nice event dresses that are special, but a dress to wear to lunch or to hang with friends on the weekend? A little more challenging. But here are some of my favorite interesting dresses you can wear every day.

What makes a dress more interesting than others?
Cut And Shape
I think it’s the cut and shape. Or something added to a classic shape that feels different. Today’s look from M.M.LaFleur is really just a shirt dress but it has a cool big knot in the front and a unique neckline. This makes it feel fun and different.
Texture
Having a unique texture or added element that adds interest to the dress really makes things feel special. Maybe it’s a rope detail, something woven, or even a unique textured fabric.
Fun And Bold Prints
Sometimes just a great print alone can make things feel really interesting. Something bold and interesting. A mix of prints and colors. Whatever it may be, a cool print can really make things feel more interesting than classic stripes or florals.
