Tomas Cotton Midi Dress

L.A.-based Lucy Akin has an eye for those subtly feminine and flirty details that imbue otherwise ordinary beachy essentials with endlessly cool, cult-like appeal. Inspired by the millennium—what she calls the “golden era” of celebrity—this season's include crisp cotton dresses to live in when the warm weather hits.

Case in point, the 'Tomas' dress has a loose, free-flowing sleepshirt-style silhouette that will come in handy on balmy days. Style with simple strappy sandals—heeled or not.
