Hot Six

Un de Six Dresses

We are in the middle of a heatwave. It’s making us crazy, so we can imagine how you feel.

When you’re dripping sweat straight out of a cold shower, clothes are the last thing you care about. But since public nudity is frowned upon (grrr), we’re investing in Un de Six dresses by local designer Bonnie Quick.

The lightweight jersey knits are a perfect solution to the heat. Made mostly of cotton, they drape perfectly and hang off the body without clinging to sweaty back fat. Our picks include the side-strap tricolor dress in blues and grays, the hand-painted tube top, and the wrap skirt.

They’ll get you through the high temperatures and keep you looking — but not feeling — hot as hell.
