Summer dresses: comfort, style and fresh air

When the heat arrives, one piece takes the spotlight in our wardrobes: the dress. And it’s no coincidence! In summer, we want to feel light, avoid unnecessary layers and, above all, stay comfortable without giving up style. Here’s why summer dresses are your best friend in warm weather, what styles are most flattering, and how to choose one that suits your life and your body. With humor, with comfort… and with a big dose of self-love.

Why we love dresses in summer

Because they’re practical, comfy, flattering (if you want them to be) and, above all, they make your life easier. No need to coordinate outfits or suffer in multiple layers. Just throw on a dress and go!

Bonus: The right dress can make you look like you've got your life together — even if you ran out of the house with a half-eaten cookie.

Fabrics that save you from sweat

The fabric makes all the difference. You want your skin to breathe and the dress to flow.

Best fabrics for summer:

• Viscose: light, soft, breathable, with lovely drape. At Instinto, most of our dresses made in Catalonia are crafted in high-quality viscose — because when the fabric flows, everything flows.

• Cotton: fresh, natural and forever reliable.

• Linen: breathable with a charming wrinkle.

• Bamboo: silky-soft and antibacterial. Great for extra comfort.

Avoid heavy synthetics like 100% polyester — unless you want to feel like you’re dancing in a street festival… at noon.

Flattering dresses: it’s all in the cut

There’s a dress for every woman and every occasion. The secret? Knowing what makes you feel good.

• A-line cuts: wide from the waist down, perfect for movement and comfort.

• Empire waist: flattering and leg-lengthening.

• Straight and simple styles: ideal if you love a clean, minimalist look.

• Adjustable straps or flutter sleeves: perfect if you prefer a bit more coverage.

All these styles are available at Instinto — made for freedom, comfort and effortless elegance. And yes, they’re dresses made in Catalonia, sewn with care and love.

How to style them

• Day look: flat sandals, a soft tote, sunglasses, and a messy bun.

• Night look: statement earrings, lipstick and platform sandals.

• Travel mode: add a light jacket and a roomy bag. You’ll thank us later.

Final reminder

You don’t need a summer body — just a dress that makes you feel amazing. Summer is to enjoy, not to fit in. Choose dresses that fit you. And if they’re from Instinto, even better: we design them with love, sustainable fabrics (especially viscose), and made right here — dresses made in Catalonia.

A fresh, magical look for long summer days.
