A short dress is proving to be this summer's short cut to style, as demonstrated here, with the Posse, above, and the Attersee and striped (and on-sale) Petar Petrov, below. The above-the-knee, right-now silhouette is also streamlined and minimalist, which gives it a modern, sophisticated aura. Other terrific options come from Bronx and Banco, Pucci, The Reformation, Agua Bendita, and Staud.
