    Just 18 Trendy Dresses For Anyone Who Hates Wearing Shorts In The Summer

    You'll set the "dress code" wherever you go in these.

    1. A wrap-front t-shirt dress for anyone who can't resist adding another LBD to their closet. It can be dressed up for dinner with friends or down for running errands, all while looking effortlessly chic.

    2. A jersey dress that'll become a staple in your wardrobe and help keep things breezy when the temp outside gets unbearably toasty. Plus, with some simple layering (like your fave jean jacket), it can be worn when it gets cooler, too.

    3. And a maxi dress in an identical fabric if you're looking for the same level of comfort with a bit more coverage. It's super-soft and lightweight, so it'll keep you cool in the sun even though you're covered to your ankles.

    4. A classic satin slip dress that'll take you from day to night all summer long. Pair it with sneakers for a casual look, or dress it up with a pair of heels for the perfect wedding guest ensemble.

    5. A bustier dress with a touch of lace if you're looking to spice up your life (and your wardrobe). It looks like it was taken from Paris Hilton's closet in the early aughts — perfect if you're currently obsessed with everything Y2K.

    6. A denim mini babydoll dress for anyone who's really leaning into the kidcore aesthetic this summer. The ties on the shoulders are fully adjustable, so you can make them as long or short as you want.

    9. A sleeved dress adorned in ruffles for anyone who truly believes more is more. The balloon sleeves and flirty skater skirt will look perfect in all the pics you tak e in it for your Insta. Reviewers say it's light enough to wear on hot and humid days while staying comfortable.

    10. A sleeveless midi dress that'll hug your body in all the right places, without being uncomfortable. It's made of a buttery, smooth fabric that'll feel like a second skin.

    11. A short dress with puffy sleeves if the cottagecore aesthetic is totally your vibe. It'll be perfect for brunch, or for foraging for berries and mushrooms outside of your quaint home in the middle of the woods (one can dream).

    12. A midi dress with a back cutout that'll transition nicely into your fall wardrobe thanks to its length. The bodice is smocked, meaning it'll stretch to fit your chest and torso perfectly.

    13. A gingham dress that'll have you feeling like Dorothy straight outta Oz whenever you wear it. The empire waist and loose skirt will keep things light if you hate fabric touching your body when it's over 30 degrees outside (it me).

    17. A maxi dress with a halter neckline if you prefer a longer hemline but still want to show a lil' skin. The fun tropical print screams "I'm on vacation" and the high slit will show the perfect amount of leg. Angelina WHO?

    18. And finally, a plain T-shirt dress because who says basics have to be boring? It's made of modal (a durable plant-based fabric), meaning you can wear it over and over again and it'll look just as good as the first time you put it on.
