Seen in New York: The Non-White Dress Trend That Fashion Enthusiasts are Continuously Pairing with Flip-Flops.

      White dresses are undeniably elegant, but they can pose a risk in the presence of coffee. Additionally, they can feel somewhat predictable. After all, when you inquire about summer dress options, the go-to suggestion is typically a white dress made from linen or poplin. Since they're so common this season, if you want to avoid being part of the crowd in 2025, consider looking for a similarly timeless color that’s less ubiquitous. My recommendation? Tan dresses.

      Tan dresses exude classic elegance and are neutral enough to pair with nearly anything. You can opt for black accessories for a safe look, or inject some excitement with a red necklace or navy sneakers. Gold and silver jewelry complement this color beautifully, and tan dresses come in a range of silhouettes, from mini versions to fit-and-flare midis. Personally, I love to wear my tan dresses with flip-flops whenever the temperatures rise, and it seems I’m not alone in this preference.

      Jennifer Lawrence also embraces the tan dress trend and styles hers with relaxed flip-flops. The actress was spotted in the West Village recently in The Row's Riah dress, which is a sleeveless, tailored piece made from a wool blend, featuring a high neckline and a hem that falls just above the ankles. She paired her sophisticated look with a black stone necklace, Ray-Ban sunglasses, a large tote, and Havaianas flip-flops, making it perfect for dinner and a show at Greenwich House Theatre.

      If you’re inspired to try something different before fall arrives, consider opting for a tan alternative instead of your white summer dresses. Lawrence clearly prefers this refined color choice, and you might, too. To assist you in getting started, scroll down to shop our top tan dresses and flip-flops.
