There’s something about summer wardrobes that calls for ease, breathability, and a touch of effortless chic. With the long sunshine hours, warm breezes and laid‑back plans, I find myself gravitating toward dresses that are simple to wear but make a statement — which is exactly why I’ve fallen hard for several pieces from Motto’s latest lineup.
Imagine dresses that move beautifully when you walk, feel soft on bare skin, and transition effortlessly from brunch to sunset drinks. That’s the sweet spot Motto lands with these summer picks.
• Black Tencel Boho Dress
I adore this dress because it’s the definition of effortless summer chic. The soft, stretchy Tencel knit drapes beautifully over the body, and the off‑shoulder neckline with adjustable straps means you can wear it just how you like — shoulder-baring and breezy, or a bit more covered-up and elegant.
It’s light and airy enough for warm days, yet flattering enough for brunch or dinner plans. The flowy A-line hem moves with you, which gives it a relaxed, feminine silhouette that makes it perfect for summer walks, beach-side drinks or spontaneous adventures.
• Pink Luxury Bias Dress
I’m drawn to the Pink Luxury Bias Dress because of its soft romance — there’s something about a bias-cut dress that feels both timeless and modern. It skims the body gently, falling in a flattering way that moves when you walk. The softness and subtle elegance of pink make it an instant “go-to” when I want to feel feminine but not fussy.
When summer sunshine and pastel hues come together, this dress just feels right — whether it’s lunch with friends, a casual date, or a relaxed summer evening.
• Bold Stripe Harlow Dress
The Bold Stripe Harlow Dress is a go-to when I want summer style with a bit of statement. Stripes add energy — they catch the light, the breeze, and the mood. Because the cut is relaxed and drapey, it’s easy to throw on, comfortable to wear all day, but still visually interesting.
For me, it hits that sweet spot between casual and polished — ideal for a beachside lunch, a city stroll, or a laid-back dinner. The bold stripe gives it a little flair, which I love when I want my summer outfit to feel effortless but put-together.
• Leopard Silky Harlow Dress
This one’s my favourite “dress-up summer piece.” The leopard print + silky finish gives it a bold, confident vibe – perfect when you want to stand out just a little (without overthinking it). The silky fabric drapes smoothly, feels cool on the skin, and the cut is relaxed enough to stay comfortable even on hotter days.
It’s that dress you wear when you want something a bit more striking, maybe for a summer dinner out, sunset drinks or a casual event. It feels playful, a little bit fierce, and totally summer-appropriate.
Motto has really nailed the vibe for summer with these dresses: easy to wear, flattering for many shapes, and versatile enough to go from day to night with a simple change of accessories.
If you want pieces that don’t demand effort but still deliver on style, and that breathe as well as they flatter — the Black Tencel Boho Dress and Black Tencel Harlow Dress are two of my top picks for this season.
Here’s to long sunsets, cool breezes and dresses that flow with you, not fight you.
