Sunshine girl

From strappy to strapless, minimalist to maxi, Jeanne Beker flaunts the season’s flirtiest sundresses

VINTAGE VIBE

HEARTBREAKER HALTER DRESS $118

“Of all these pretty little summer dresses, this is my favourite. I absolutely love the retro feel of it. It looks sort of late ’40s, early ’50s. It’s got a great halter top so it’s nice and cool. And a wonderfully wide skirt — very, very feminine — a dress you could twirl around in!”

Where to get it: Trove, 2264 Bloor St. W., 416-766-1258

 

ROMANTIC RUFFLES

COCO LOVE DRESS $89

“Really easy, breezy, this dress really speaks of summertime. It can be dressed up with a pair of high heels, or during the day, you might just want to run around in a dress like this with a pair of ballet flats on.”

Where to get it: Honey
1 Promenade Cir., 905-882-0060

MAXI-MUM IMPACT

GEMMA MAXI DRESS $398

“These longer dresses are very happening this season. It would look great with a big floppy-brimmed hat and you can pile on the bangles. You can accessorize this dress to your heart’s content.”

Where to get it: Mendocino
2901 Bayview Ave., 416-250-1804

MELLOW YELLOW

ELIZA J. DRESS $199.95

“I liked this so much that I tried it on! Very chic, very elegant and totally timeless, this kind of dress can work on a wide variety of women, a wide variety of sizes and certainly a wide variety of age ranges.”

Where to get it: Want Boutique
1694 Avenue Rd., 416-256-9268 &
9301 Bathurst St., 905-883-9268

BOHO CHIC

FLYING TOMATO STRAPLESS DRESS $78

“This dress has got a very bohemian kind of feel to it, kind
of hippie chic. It really looks like something I owned back in 1968, so that’s probably why I have an affinity for it!”

Where to get it: Honey
1 Promenade Cir., 905-882-0060

THE NEW BLACK

ELIZA J. DRESS $199.95

“We love this coral shade. This is a big, big shade for the season. It almost replaces the little black dress — now it’s all about the little crimson dress or the little coral dress or the little red dress.”

Where to get it: Want Boutique
1694 Avenue Rd., 416-256-9268 &
9301 Bathurst St., 905-883-9268
