A rudimentary piece of women's wardrobe , the short-sleeved summer dress returns this season to flatter the tanned legs. Pure or printed, bohemian or retro, with thin straps or bare shoulders, an overview of short dresses that will make summer 2017.

  • The short dress Bardot

Always more daring, the short dress invests bare shoulders. Inspired by the Bardot top , an iconic piece inherited from Brigitte Bardot's wardrobe, it promises a vintage and very feminine look that is enhanced by a pair of sandals and a wicker basket .

  • The short dress with thin straps

With its strong resemblance to the nightie dress , the dress with thin straps definitely comes out of the closet to become the it-dress of the summer of 2017. Thus, Ba & sh imagines an emerald green model with braces with visible penalties, while Loup Charmant and Victoria Beckham has fun with seductive games braces. At Mango, the spaghetti straps are accompanied by alluring flounces and a romantic floral print.

  • The bohemian short dress

At Chloé, we find it in a minimalist version: clean lines and bohemian look, all in a soft powdery pink that flatters the tan. At Love Shack Fancy and Talitha, the dresses are adorned with discreet ethnic prints and summer pompoms.
