Thank you to ShopStyle and Harvey Nichols for sponsoring this post.
Even though I get dressed up almost daily, even right now when we are spending most of our time at home, here is a little secret: most of my outfits take no more effort than it takes to slip into loungewear. Over the years, I’ve grown especially particular about fabrics and fit, not settling for anything that doesn’t make me feel my best. This curation has resulted in a collection of dresses that I can reach for daily, from work-from-home days to weekends. My favorite dresses rival my loungewear when it comes to comfort, but look undeniably more elegant and polished.
Since my days right now consist mostly of working from home and caring for Clementine, I have been gravitating toward midi and maxi-length dresses. Not only do I love the effortless femininity of these silhouettes, I also appreciate that they make it easy to play on the floor comfortably. Below, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite dresses from Harvey Nichols, one of my longtime favorite retailers. They carry a well-edited collection at a variety of price points, so I always know I’ll find something that is just right for the season I’m in, even one as unique as this one. Any of these dresses would be especially perfect for women who, like me, are currently juggling work and motherhood in creative new ways. Complete the look with a neutral pair of flats, classic sneakers, or slide sandals.

Poplin Wrap Dress
This billowy white wrap dress has a cinched waist and a bow sash, creating a silhouette that is both comfortable and flattering.
Slingback Flats
Simple at first glance, a loop design and cutout details instantly elevate these Aquazzura slingback flats. The soft cream hue pairs well with any dress in my closet, but also looks great with denim.
Floral Linen Midi Dress
Linen is one of my all-time favorite summer fabrics. This Zimmermann midi dress, featuring a colorful bouquet pattern, offers a welcome change from my many solid-colored linen pieces.
Leather Sandals
Simple slide sandals are a summer must-have. I love the soft leather crisscross straps of these ones from Rosetta Getty, making them a comfortable option to slip into daily.
