This is a great time of year to be raising the bar on your flats game! Since comfy-chic and casual fashion is everywhere these days, it’s no surprise that the flat shoe style is trending again. I know that I’ve been living in mine all year long and with spring around the corner, I wanted to share my favorite styles with you.

Casual Dress Trends I Love + Favorite Black Dress Designers to Shop

June 10, 2020 Melissa Meyers
SHOP Floral L*Space Isabel Dress

SHOP Floral L*Space Isabel Dress

These past few weeks will definitely go down in history. And, as I continue to educate myself in doing better, I am committed to the on-going support of black businesses, in the lifestyle category, on my platform. So, instead of only sharing my favorite dress trends, I want to also highlight some amazing black women dress designers to shop and support from my growing Hot List as well. I also added a selection of dresses from Target to include their collaborations with Cushnie, Lisa Marie Fernandez, Love Shack Fancy, and more. (Scroll down).

As summer progresses, it looks like we may be able to start responsibly socializing (hopefully in small get-togethers, six feet apart, with masks on). I think it’s a good time to break out of our sweats and leggings to make way for cute dresses - a refreshing and welcome change to our recent springtime, stay-at-home looks.

In my latest monthly feature for Who What Wear, We're in Our 50s and Think These 9 Casual Dress Trends Work for Everyone, Janet Gunn, The Grateful Gardenia, and I shared a few favorites that will have you looking forward to getting dressed again. Read on to check out the styles I am currently loving.

Below is a list of some favorite black designers to put on your radar. Click on the links directly to shop.

Fe Noel

“Eat well, travel often and dress to inspire,” Fe Noel's design motto definitely speaks to me! Heavily influenced by her Caribbean heritage, she is known for her feminine designs, simple silhouettes, and quality fabrics. Another thing I love about this dress designer… she aims to mentor and empower other women to start their own businesses through her Fe Noel Foundation for young girls who are passionate about entrepreneurship.

Tracy Reese 

Best known for her ready-to-wear styles, her new capsule collection collaborates with artists from her hometown of Detroit and uses ethically-sourced materials in unique prints. Gentle on the earth and fashion-forward in style. So many cute summer finds in this collection! 

SHOP Tracy Reese for Anthropologie Devin Flounced Mini Dress

Island Tribe 

Island Tribe is a brand where boho and beach style collide! This California-based fashion house practices social good and fair trade with a mission to better the environment with sustainable designs. Their dresses are right on trend with summer’s laid back, free-spirit vibes, and are inspired by peace, love, and blessings. Who couldn’t use more of those three things these days! 

lemlem 

An artisan-driven brand focused on sustainability, lemlem is made in Africa and is the inspiration of Supermodel Liya Kebede. Elevating the artisans and expanding jobs across Africa, the designs of her handwoven dresses are perfect to add to your summertime wish list.

SHOP lemlem Koki Peasant Dress

McMullen

Founded in Oakland, California in 2007 by Sherri McMullen, McMullen is a delightfully curated concept shop featuring luxury womenswear by emerging and established designers from around the world. They have a selection of dresses that will take you anywhere from cocktail hour to summer bbq. I love that they support design and manufacturing that can impact communities and empower women with a mission to specifically support African and African-American apparel and home décor designers.

SHOP Lisa Marie Fernandez for Target Yellow Gingham Midi Dress

Cushnie 

This luxury ready-to-wear brand was established in 2008 and is known for its sophisticated and modern femininity. Their dresses are sleek, minimal and designed to enhance the contour of a woman’s body. While most of their dresses are more suited for cocktail or red-carpet, they are now bringing their timeless designs to Target with a limited-edition dress collection.

VACATION - JUL 24, 2019

A Chic 54-Year-Old Shares Her Under-$125 Summer Vacation Wardrobe

by NICOLE KLIEST

Melissa Meyers is a Los Angeles–based influencer with a focus on beauty, style, travel, and wellness. Her blog, The Glow Girl, aims to empower women to embrace the best version of themselves, age gracefully, and cultivate a glow from the inside out. She also happens to be 54 years old and has a penchant for masterfully styling summer vacation looks. Below, hear from Meyers on her favorite pieces for getting away in the sun and shop her affordable picks for your next holiday.

I like to take along a few new things when traveling on vacation that are stylish, functional, and budget-friendly. It always seems to be a challenge not to overpack, so I put together a list of great fashion finds to wear on vacation and throughout the summer that are super versatile. A good thing to keep in mind when you are packing is to stick to a color scheme (I prefer staying away from black during the summer), which means you can say goodbye to bringing an extra bag just for shoes. Most of these pieces can be worn from the beach to dinner, and all are under $120. Bon voyage! 

Swimsuit and Kimono Cover-Up

I am a huge fan of retro high-waisted bikinis. Pair with a kimono worn as a cover-up that can also be tied or belted as a dress, or wear as a light layer if it’s chilly at night.

Sandals and Sneakers

Pack shoes that are lightweight, comfortable, and versatile. The ones I bring go with pants and dresses (including sneakers). Simple flat sandals in nude or gold go with everything and are great if you are doing a lot of walking or touring. If you must bring heels, I recommend simple raffia wedges.

Sunglasses

I usually like to take a few pairs with me since they are a great way to change up your look quickly. Plus, they don’t take up a lot of room in your bag.

Hat and Accessories

A hat is a must-have to protect your skin, and it also completes your day look, too. A hat clip is genius and attaches to your bag or luggage. It makes for the perfect travel companion and keeps your hat crush-free.

Jackets

On those cooler evenings when dining alfresco, a light jacket in denim or white linen is the perfect dinner-date piece. If your travels take you on a plane, just wear it so you don’t take up room in your luggage.

It’s best if you can travel with just a carry-on, but I get it. This can be tough! If you pack smart, you’ll never go back and will love breezing through those airports.
