Dear Deborah,
I’m going on vacation to the Caribbean, and I’m looking for a dress that’s fun, tropical and age-appropriate. I want to be able to wear it on my trip, as well as at home in the summer. Thanks, Nicole

Hi Nicole,
A cheery little sundress with some tropical punch is the perfect outfit to make you look hot, hot, hot! Here are a few cute sundresses for women over 40 with a laid-back island feel.

Cool Off In White
Nothing keeps you cooler and more comfortable in the tropical heat than a crisp, lightweight white dress. Twisted fabric at the shoulders draws the eye to the V-neckline of this light and lovely midi dress.
A Romantic Sundress
If you’re lucky enough to be on a romantic getaway, you’ll want a dress that matches the occasion. This romantic, shoulder-baring maxi, made from soft and feminine chiffon, takes you from a day in the tropics to a night with your main squeeze.

Hawaiian Punch With a Twist
Not that you’ll need a reminder, but slipping into this fun, easy-to-wear maxi dress in a print that’s a riot of tropical excitement will let you know that you’re not in Kansas anymore.
Vibrant Paradise Party
Here’s a light and lovely tropical blue shift dress to show off those tanned legs. This is great all round dress that works anytime, anywhere.

Tropical Kimono
Tropical palm leaves and stripes adorn this soft kimono dress cut in a comfortable just below-the-knee length. Perfect dress for taking you from resort dinner to a casual destination wedding.

Pretty in Paradise
You’ll be more stunning than any scene on the island in this halter fit and flare dress featuring a large-leaf print and an array of straps at the back. No matter where you’re going, this will give you that tropical glow long after the sun has set.
Hi Sue!
Great to hear from you. Yes the colors on the last dress are quite stunning!
Love the leaf-print sundress!
