Dresses Written by Allison Berlin

While the dress seems like an obvious item for spring/summer, Kmart delivers a variety of incarnations this season, making it anything but predictable.

The Jaclyn Smith Collection is available exclusively at Kmart

The ShiftThe shift is chic, easy to wear, and a go-to summer staple. Pair an embellished shift with a long, slim belted cardigan for day and swap out platform heels and statement bangles for a

sophisticated yet funky evening style.

PrintsThe print dress this season ranges from classic

polka dots to full beach scenes and psychedelic patterns. The beauty of this style is that the dress is doing all the work. No need to add anything to

a bold print except a neutral shoe or jacket.

Cinched WaistAccentuate the positive! The waist is the smallest part of the body, so why not show it off and instantly drop a few pounds. Belts in different widths and fabrics add figure-flattering shape to dresses and provide a way to accessorize.
