Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A tiered maxi that has the word "layering" down to a science. Leather motos, denim jackets, plaid button-downs — the outerwear world is your oyster when combined with the neutral dress below.
2. A sleeveless swing mini for impromptu wine nights with le pals, grocery store runs, fancier dinners (simply add in some heels), etcetera. Versatility is this dress' strongest suit.
3. A mini cami dress featuring button detailing for a look that screams "I tried" but requires merely 10 seconds of effort. Throw this on, fasten a high ponytail, et voilà. Throw on a plaid top for extra warmth if necessary.
4. A tie-front midi finer than any vino you'll be consuming during a multi-course dinner. This outfit *is* the bread and butter, okay!?
5. A smocked mini dress for whenever you're running late, (which might be pretty much always). Just slip this on, pair it with any shoe, throw your hair into a chic messy bun (emphasis on the messy), and that's it! You're ready.
6. A swing dress that's destined to be on constant rotation in your summer wardrobe (the poor thing will never get a break). The jersey knit material is super lightweight and the design itself isn't clingy, aka this will really pull through on days where "I'm dripping sweat" doesn't even begin to cover it.
7. A T-shirt dress with a 1,000% guarantee of turning you into a fashion blogger stat, no significant Instagram following required. There's just something about a tie-waist, amirite folks?
8. A skintight maxi reviewers swear is an affordable dupe for *that* celeb-owned brand with *that* particular floor-length dress that is consistently out of stock.
9. A tortoiseshell button V-neck number guaranteed to make you feel ~trendier than thou~ on your stroll to the corner deli. Available in neutral colors and fun patterns alike, quickly throw this on to make it seem as if you didn't snooze through your alarm this morning.
10. A V-neck maxi dress, because life's too short to not hop on the tie-dye trend. It's everywhere — you can't help but be enticed. This cozy number means an easy, comfy way to add a pop of pattern to your wardrobe.
11. A high-neck bodycon dress available in neutral colors that are perfect for daily wear, plus you can choose between three sleeve options: long, cap, or sleeveless. The latter is wonderful if you're feeling ready to let it all ~air out.~
12. A polka dot number best accessorized with bottomless mimosas served at your next at-home brunch, overpriced avocado toast and a poached egg not required (but highly recommended).
13. A surplice dress available in solid colors and a snazzy leopard print, the latter of which I personally intend on purchasing in preparation for my eventual Disney vacay (inspired by the below reviewer).
14. A flowy maxi that's just inspired me to scour Airbnb for a staycation in the middle of nowhere. I can picture it already: surrounded by nature, drinking coffee in a semi-modern cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows... all while wearing this.
15. An off-shoulder mini with a scallop hem that strikes me as the kind of dress I'll be wearing to a point that extends beyond "outfit repeating." Kate Sanders, what would you think of me?
16. A tiered baby doll mini taking a page from the Disney 365 book (if you know, you know) because it can truly be worn any day of the damn year. We love a piece that doesn't need to be vacuum-sealed with the change of season.
17. A tiered midi reviewers swear is opaque *and* ultra lightweight, meaning you won't be sweating during hot girl walks this summer.
18. An off-shoulder maxi that had me humming the intro of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe In Magic?" as soon as I laid my peepers on it. That smocking! The mid-thigh slit! I officially believe in the existence of sorcery.
19. A mini deep-V dress featuring florals, pastel colors, and a gorgeous open back, which means you'll probably want to go sans underwire.
20. A square-neck midi for frolicking through vineyards in an ethereal "I was a fairy in a past life" kind of way. This is an easy one-and-done outfit that requires less effort than matching a top to your favorite leggings. Plus, the breezy material will feel lovely against your skin.
21. A long T-shirt dress so ridiculously soft, your body will feel as if it's being enveloped by a fluffy cloud made of kittens and other ridiculously cute baby animals. Plus, this cozy maxi is the perfect thing to dress up or down.
22. A tank maxi dress that is, without a doubt, the perfect basic piece of summer clothing. Get ready to wear this lovely piece of jersey knit all 👏 the 👏 damn 👏 time 👏.
23. A long-sleeve bodycon featuring drawstring ruching on each side, meaning that the length of this dress is — gird your loins — completely adjustable. Attempt to contain your excitement until you reach the end of this post, please.
24. A striped cap sleeve midi meant for frolicking in gardens ripe with tomatoes, tulips, lots of citrus, and potentially forest animals. I highly recommend wearing this in your studio apartment to trick yourself into the idea that your life is "cottagecore."
25. A T-shirt dress equipped with both a tie-waist and pockets, the latter of which are the sole requirement I'm looking for in an article of clothing.
26. A smocked midi I've already romanticized and added to my cart. Who's going to make green juice, plant flowers, and visit a local market while wearing the below this weekend? Me. In my head, at least.
27. A maxi dress featuring the crème de la crème of fashion designs: pockets. Throw in super soft fabric and you've got yourself a recipe for perfection.
28. A flowy tank dress made from a super soft material — so if you want to feel like you're wear pajamas in public without the likelihood of running into someone you know, I present you with the ideal solution.
29. A mini dress with a tried-and-true wrap silhouette, which means you'll be able to customize the waistline for that perfectly tailored ~like a glove~ fit. We love clothes that feel like they were made just for us, amirite?
30. A mini dress featuring a cutout design for the allure of "I matched a top and bottom this morning" without having to actually, well, match anything.
31. An off-shoulder maxi dress designed with the phrase "wardrobe staple" in mind. It's the kind of number you can wear to weddings and birthday dinners *or* for a stroll along a beach boardwalk.
32. A puff sleeve baby doll dress meant to be worn to the most glamorous event of your week, aka drinking pre-made mimosas from pitchers and eating fried chicken and waffles with your pals.
