The pinafore dress shouldn’t be missing in your summer wardrobe. It’s just an indispensable piece that you can style up in a multitude of cute ways. And because it is a classic piece, you can always bring it back into your wardrobe after letting it coop up all winter.

The following bloggers already started wearing their cute pinafore dresses. You might want to get some styling ideas from them!

1. EmerJa’s Shirt and Booties

As if EmerJa’s polka-dot pinafore isn’t enough to make us green with envy, she paired it up with equally cute pieces. Since the pinafore dress is printed, she did well in teaming it up with a solid-colored shirt.

Wear your dress with a pair of lace-up booties, too! The combination is just faultless.

Annika has mastered the art of wearing pinafore dresses. The striped dress and the gray shirt seem starkly simple all by themselves, but she took it up a notch by pairing them together and punctuating the look with a pair of creepers and a straw hat.
