No closet is complete without a little black dress, and this linen one is as good as they come. The fabric is soft and breathable, the cut is classic, and the sweet boat neckline balances the legginess of that high-cut hem. Wear it with flats by day, heels by night, or tuck it in your beach bag for post-surf drinks—point is, you’ve got options.
