12 Multitasking Summer Dresses for On Duty and Off

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.


It can often feel like Goldilocks-syndrome has hit when searching for a multitasking dress: We want a frock that's appropriate at the office, weekends, and after-hours that's not too short, but not too long. Not too fitted, but not too loose. Not too trendy, but definitely not too boring. Consider your quest over. We've rounded up 12 options that are diverse in design but easy to style in multiple ways. From J.Crew's classic striped t-shirt dress to Mango's breezy coral number, each can be thrown over a bathing suit or cinched at the waist or paired with Converse and a baseball cap, et cetera et cetera. Take a look above. —Cleo Zancope
