Seeking an alternative to the LWD this summer? Well, may I suggest you give Missoni a try? Granted, the knit zigzag isn’t the easiest to pull off, but you won’t know until you try it, right? Case in point: this multicolored crochet-knit dress with signature zigzag detail. With its round neck, this sleeveless number with exposed press-stud fastenings at back is actually conservative for Missoni. The solid white horizontal stripe breaks the outfit apart to show an illusion of where the waist is, helping create some definition in an otherwise busy dress. With an outfit this busy, my suggestion is to keep everything else simple (shoes, hair, makeup, jewelry) or risk looking like a fashion victim. It really is a great après beach dress or for weekends in the country by the lake.
