After years in exile as figure-slimming dark denim ruled women’s wardrobes, lighter washes have finally returned, and I’m not just talking about the acid-wash, ’80s-throwback jeans you thought had been banished for good. The freshest pale denim look—our fashion team has dubbed the trend “Crystal Blues”—is more polished and feminine and can be just as flattering as midnight-rinse jeans, with comfortable chambray and chambray-look fabrics making the most noticeable impact. These softer, typically lightweight textiles are perfect for summer shirts and dresses, including a super Cynthia Steffe dress we just received that I’m already coveting.

Cut from a linen-viscose blend that’s not technically chambray but rather a sleeker, more luxe look-alike, the Lois Dress by Cynthia Steffe takes vintage work-wear styling (think Rosie the Riveter and waitress dresses—remember those?) and beautifies the heck out of it with a curved collar, adorable sleeves, princess seaming and gathers galore. The tie belt’s also a big plus as far as I’m concerned since I’m an M and like to define my waistline, and the gold buttons are such a pretty accent to the pale color. Plus, with its denim look it’s easily paired with fun accessories—our model looks great with that bright floral scarf added to the mix! Aside from complimenting Ms, it’s recommended for women with S, H, P and E figures too because the V-neckline and slender lapels flatter a full bust, and the design visually separates the bodice, waist and hips.

If you adore this Cynthia Steffe dress as much as I do, this is the perfect time to snatch it up before it’s gone—through Wednesday, MyShape members with Personal Shops can take 25% off regular-priced dresses* when they enter the code YESDRESS at checkout.
