Laura Harrier just wore the ruched dress trend with pretty Mary Janes

When you're working in scorching summer temperatures, there are only a few items of clothing you can turn to to get you through the day without a problem. Of course, Laura Harrier identified two of the chicest, heatwave-proof items currently in circulation for her trip to Milan.

Selecting a lightweight ruched dress with thin spaghetti straps, Harrier's dress choice used clever design tricks to ensure all-day comfort. With a full skirt and mid-calf cut, the statement dress offered consistent breathability to combat the hot Italian sun, as well as a sleek finish that made it look flawless all day long. Wearing her ruched dress with another summer staple, Harrier selected Mary Jane flats in an on-trend pale blue shade to wear with her dark black dress. With a flat finish and buckle strap details, the Mary Jane shoe trend remains one of the chicest and most comfortable styles on the market this season.

While Harrier chose a fitting location to debut the new ruched dress trend, fashionistas in London, who work in a slightly colder climate, have already embraced the trend this season. Offering a fitted silhouette in the most comfortable way, the ruched dress trend features ribbing on the bodice that hugs the body, without constricting it, making it an easy choice for hot summer days.
