Rethinking the Sundress

Rethinking the Sundress

Spring brings a season that awakens the art of effortless dressing with breezy layers, light fabrics, and of course, the ever-exciting sundress.

We can let the predictability end there though, because XCVI Spring dresses reimagine this seasonal classic with added edge and detail that feels fresh and uniquely wearable.

These three styles offer seasonal dresses with plenty of flair.

The Murlie Tank Dress: Easy + Elevated

Made of our breathable Lavish Linen, the Murlie Tank Dress offers a classic tank style in a mini cut, refined by impactful yet subtle detail. A relaxed yet body-skimming fit brings both structure and movement, while a raw-edge sharkbite hem incorporates unexpected distressing that gives this piece that perfect beachy, slightly rugged feel. Topped off with unexpected pockets at the hips, Murlie embodies the effortless sundress with a signature XCVI twist, available in crisp White and sea glass green “Icy Mint.”

The Damara Dress: Athletically Feminine

In our signature Brio Poplin, the Damara Dress blends tactical edge with feminine softness. Lightweight yet structured, Damara flatters and grazes your curves just so with a mini cut and flexible rib inserts at the torso for a contoured fit. Unexpected elements reign supreme here, with an adjustable buckled keyhole neckline, wide tank top straps, cargo pockets, and a cinchable corded hemline. Utilitarian inspiration and a touch of athleisure’s influence meet all things flirty and feminine for a dress that’s the best of all worlds. Wear Damara with sneakers for a day on the go or slip on some strappy sandals for an elevated evening look. Available in pale acid wash green “Distress Wash Feldspar,” bright orange “Oriole,” or cocoa brown “Westgate,” Damara is all of the style and none of the stress!

The Crevin Dress: A Boho Dream in Double Gauze

The Crevin Dress offers you a Spring staple that blends a t-shirt dress with a breezy sundress style in plush cotton Double Gauze with movement-friendly Slub Jersey contrasting at the torso. A cheeky mini cut keeps things all-the-more warm weather-friendly, while snap closures down the center and a raw-edge mini breast pocket bring on the detail to mix things up. Soft and light as can be yet classically-cool with a distressed twist, the Crevin Dress is flattering and plenty versatile for daily wear. Try her in khaki “Tanglewood,” orange “Oriole,” or saturated mid-green “Feldspar,” and pair with a light jacket and boots as the season transitions, or stick with sandals or slides for a day beachside.

XCVI Spring dresses capture Spring’s essence with a unique, detailed twist that’s quintessential to XCVI. Spring style calls for breathable ease and lightweight comfort, and each of these dresses captures XCVI’s commitment to wearable clothing that’s anything but ordinary. With every look, our fresh, reinvigorated Spring dresses take their rightful place in your wardrobe as go-to, one-and-done staple pieces that feel polished, fun, and totally ready to roam with you, wherever you may go.
