Summer dresses in Mondo Kaos 2022

So it's summer and our summer dresses are in the store! There are lots of beautiful vintage style and retro summer dresses to choose from and there is something for everyone; ranging from the refined 1950s swing look to the more timeless A-line dresses.

Are you going to have new summer dresses this year and are you a bit unsure about what you should choose? Then it might be worth taking a look at the things you have. Ask yourself some questions such as; What dresses do you just want to wear every single day when the temperatures say SUMMER? Which ones are more taken out for special occasions? Are you going to do something special this year that requires a special type of dress? It can be a party or a certain type of holiday.

Maybe you know that there should only be short sleeves, and of course you should also look for a summer dress with short sleeves, rather than with straps.

It could also be that you are only into swing dresses in the summer, or that you love A-line summer dresses or perhaps shirt dresses?

You can also look at whether you have a certain color that you always return to? Or whether it should be a patterned/multi-coloured summer dress.
These questions will help ensure that you will be extra happy and satisfied with your choice of new summer dress.

At Mondo Kaos, we love the swing dress, and it is always particularly well-suited for summer, where it provides plenty of air under the skirts on a hot day. But there are many ways to go with a swing dress. If you want a more subdued swing dress outfit. You can choose one of our plain or dotted 1950s swing dresses which have the nice V-neckline. The dress is made of cotton with a little bit of stretch, and is one of our most popular summer dresses. Wear a plain cardigan on evenings or cooler days.

Dotted summer dresses are a permanent fixture at Mondo Kaos during the summer months. Nothing says vintage style summer dress like our polka dot dresses. We have polka dot dresses in red, blue, black and green and in many different cuts, from the beautiful dresses from The Seamstress of Bloomsbury to the new shirt dress Evita in a fine A-shape, and then of course there are also swing dresses with dots.

Both polka dots and checkered summer dresses are easy patterns to wear. It's more lively than solid colors, but not too variegated, where you might be the type to feel that the pattern wears you, rather than the other way around. We also have many beautiful vintage style summer dresses in gingham check on the way. You can keep an eye on them in the newsletter and on our Facebook and Instagram.

Summer is also the time when we wear strong colors and fine patterns. It's especially easy to wear colorful dresses and strong patterns when you don't have to match it to a lot of fall and vintage layers. A pair of matching sandals and possibly a neutral cardigan and you have your summer look ready! A real 1950s style favorite is the novelty print, which we have written more about in this blog post . This year, of course, we also have wonderful novelty prints. How about, for example, the fine Capri border print in shades of blue? There are also small Victorian violet bouquets in watercolor style, or perhaps the beautiful orange print? Then there is also Summer Jamboree on the Lucy dress, which has a beautiful A-line cut, so you can get novelty prints on your summer dress even if you are not into swing dresses.
