Spring dresses I would wear from Latin designers
For the heat and for the prints.
This time, I took a deep dive, and by that I mean I’m not sharing a single dress that didn’t excite me. It had to feel alive, spring-ful, something I’d wear in the heat.
Oftentimes, I avoid buying dresses because I feel like you wear them once and then look like a portrait. Other times, it’s because I just don’t feel like I can wear them day to day.
But I’ve had a craving for wearing more dresses lately, so I’m going to debunk my own myths and worries about dress-wearing and have them way more on top of my wishlist.
Here’s my selection:
FARM Rio
Whilst browsing Brazilian brand Farm Rio’s website (besides finding the gorgeous shoes I already shared in the chat), I was looking at their stunning dresses. These two in particular caught my eye because of the splash of green, the elegant floral pattern, and the romantic silhouette.
Prime of Lime
A Miami-based brand is taking a new shape with their latest collection, and the dresses just scream fresh, sweet, and well, right now I’m a sucker for butter yellow.
Teresa, Esencia Entre Hilos
I’m beyond obsessed with this colorful print by the Colombian brand. I also feel like the fall of the dress makes it look really light and easy to wear, even with trousers underneath.
Fabiana Pigna
I’m loving the chemise-dress situation, and this Venezuelan brand based in Los Angeles has a great pick. I was torn between a pink and an orange dress, but I ultimately went with the orange—because I just love that color.
MATTE
This beautiful brand is based in Costa Rica, and I absolutely adore the purple print on this dress. It’s such an original color combination in a very classic silhouette.
Celmo
I had actually never been to this Uruguayan brand’s website, and I really adored how fun the illustrations are. They have a lot of knitwear, but this dress in particular, with a pattern that looks like a chair (I think?), comes in two different colors.
ANAMARIA VELEZ
I had shared this Colombian brand before, but the dress is just too perfect for this weather, and I adore the camel color.
