Our Ainsley Midi Dress, featuring an exclusive floral print, flutter sleeves, and a scalloped square neckline, is the ultimate piece for effortless summer style in New England. This lightweight woven midi dress is perfect for everything from coastal strolls to sunset soirées. Here are five breezy ways to wear it that capture the charm of classic New England style:
1. Beachside Brunch in Newport
Embrace summer style with the Ainsley Midi Dress paired with a straw tote, oversized sunglasses, and espadrille wedge sandals. The airy flutter sleeves keep you cool while the square neckline is perfect for layering delicate shell necklaces. Add a lightweight cardigan for those cool ocean breezes.
After brunch, head to Clarke Cooke House for oysters and drinks—an iconic Newport spot that complements this breezy midi dress look perfectly.
2. Town Day in Mystic
Swap wedges for crisp white sneakers and throw on a denim jacket (like our Audrey Chambray Long Sleeve) for casual New England style. Cuff the sleeves for relaxed vibes, perfect for exploring artisan shops and picking up fresh lobsters for dinner.
Don’t miss Ford’s Lobster, our favorite spot for fresh lobster rolls that capture the essence of the region.
3. Sunset Sail‑Away
Elevate your summer style with nautical-inspired navy slides, a structured straw visor, and a bold red lip. The Ainsley Midi Dress’s embroidered details and square neckline are made for simple gold hoops and a chic clutch.
4. Farmers’ Market with Friends
Style the dress with flat leather slides, a woven crossbody, and your favorite straw hat for a laid-back New England style morning at local markets. Tie a denim shirt at the waist for an easy layer.
5. Evening Gathering on the Porch
Transition effortlessly from day to night by pairing the Ainsley Midi Dress with block-heeled mules and a neutral cropped cardigan. Layer on gold necklaces and grab an elegant clutch for polished porch vibes.
