Helluva Halter: This flirty halter-top dress might be listed as part of J. Crew’s bridal party collection, but its crisp cotton cady fabric and hidden pockets easily extend it to everyday wear. It’s available in eight colors from sour lemon to bright berry. But for work, don the more subdued, rich chocolate brown hue—perfect with a pair of strappy coral-colored heels.

It’s a Wrap: Branch out from the button-up shirtdress with this flirty wraparound number. Crisp latte-colored fabric gives the dress versatility for pairing with bright-colored accessories and shoes, while a wide pleated ruffle frames the neckline and draws attention upward.

Hello Yellow: Fashionistas predict a return to yellow this season. Welcome back the sun in this silky dress with bold square graphics in a bright, lemonade hue. (Silk square-print dress, $150; bananarepublic.com)
