Taylor Swift Wore the Trend That Makes Summer Dresses Cooler

Once warm weather hits, you can pretty much put money on the fact that Taylor Swift will be photographed going to one of NYC’s buzziest restaurants wearing a pretty summer dress. And that’s exactly what she did for dinner with Dakota Johnson at Via Carota last night. For the occasion, Swift wore a dress from one of her go-to brands lately: the beloved L.A.-based DÔEN.

DÔEN makes some of the best pretty summer dresses on the scene, and Swift’s dark floral print one with a fitted bodice and A-line skirt is a DÔEN classic for a reason. And in this instance, Swift employed a styling trick that takes a pretty summer dress and makes it look even cooler and more fashion person-coded in an instant: She paired it with a cool leather belt. Hers is by Below The Belt and features a gold chain detail. Luckily, interesting leather belts are a major trend, and there are a ton of options on the market to choose from that would expertly amp up a pretty summer dress.
