Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A whimsical strapless dress that can easily be worn for a brunch-turned-bar-crawl with the gals, but would look equally charming on a long walk on the beach.
2. A dreamy deep V-neck mini for breezy summer days when the weather is slightly warm, but not too warm. You'll look so adorable, thanks to a ruffle design and gorgeous color options.
3. A glamorous crossover halter maxi so breath-taking people will start dropping to the floor as you walk pass them, only to get up, turn around, take a second look, and pass out again.
4. A waist cutout dress because you never know where life will take you, so you better be looking your best at all times, and this number will make sure you do.
5. An easy short-sleeve frock you'll pull on as soon as it's been washed and dried. Actually, how much do you want to bet you'll be doing the old sniff test in between washes?
6. A Little House on the Prairie-inspired puff-sleeve midi basically made to wear to meadow picnics, and only to meadow picnics.
7. A beautiful ruched mini to get you into party mode. It's giving me all the disco, dancing queen, mermaid-core vibes — are you getting that too?
8. A lightweight faux tiered muumuu with everything you hope and pray a dress can have. It has pockets, adjustable straps that can be crossed in the back, and doesn't have a zipper in sight.
9. A chameleon smocked dress that can go from below the knee to mini with the pull of a string, as well as on or off-the-shoulders. Its versatility is endless!
10. A dressy long-sleeve gown so cute, it'll make you standout in a crowded room, but it's so soft and comfortable you'll be daydreaming about your bed instead of noticing people staring at your radiant figure.
11. A drapey slip dress with a cowl neck and ruched wrap skirt that add a subtle movement to the fabric, so it looks like your hips are bouncing from side to side even when you're just standing.
12. An airy crisscross wrap maxi you should definitely have in your closet right away. It's the perfect seasonless dress! Wear it now with flat sandals and later with suede OTK (over-the-knee) boots.
13. A casual front-tie tank dress for those extra hot days when the less you have on your body the better, like when you're going to a cookout where the fumes of the grill will make you sweat in places you didn't know it was possible.
14. A lovely asymmetrical maxi that screams "shoulder season is here!" and that looks almost sculptural and one hundred percent feels like a work of art.
15. A really cute spaghetti strap frock in a classy pin-up inspired silhouette that looks like it would be a hassle to get into, but guess what? All the buttons and front knot are decorative, so you only have to pull it on and you're set!
16. A pretty one-shoulder muumuu with a stretchy waistband to introduce to the rest of your summer faves – hello, jean jacket and slide sandals! – trust me, they'll become best buds ;)
17. A romantic empire-waist frock that'll make you want to skip down to the nearest park and swirl around while smiling up to the sun 'cause you've finally found the one — yes, the one nap dress!
18. An everyday fitted dress because it's *THE* summer-ready style to bring to *ANY* vacation. Going on a euro trip? wear it with a pair of white sneakers. Cruising to the Bahamas? Flip-flops are on call.
19. A delicate lace sheath dress that typically would be considered too granny, but when lace is cut in an of-the-moment shape it makes it feel modern.
20. A chic high-neck summer dress which comes with a removable belt you can totally swap. Go on and give it a try, you can even do an animal print belt, which IMPO is considered a neutral, for an interesting mixed print moment.
21. A comfy sleeveless knit dress ideal for date night — you'll feel cozy as it completely hugs and molds around you like a blanket, yet strong and confident thanks to the high side slit.
22. A loose jean shirtdress so you know you'll stay relaxed throughout the day — that's the great thing about chambray, it gets softer and softer after each wash.
23. A laid-back T-shirt dress with an attached waist belt you can tie in the front, back, or side, and in-seam pockets that'll hide your most precious possessions.
24. A backless maxi so gorgeous you won't want to take it off. It looks super simple and sleek from the front, but once you turn around jaws will be dropping.
25. A buttery soft tee muumuu you'll want to wear 24/7, which you can and this is how: with a blazer and loafers for work, with a straw hat and slides pool side, and with your most supportive sneakers for running errands.
26. A classy mesh long sleeve dress because "I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it" are the wisest words to live your life by, especially when it comes to this sweet sundress.
27. And a laser-cut dress that will become the hardest working dress in your wardrobe — on the shoulder with black ankle pants for work, off the shoulder for nights out, and as a lot of the reviewers do, a beach cover-up come the weekend!
