1. A puff-sleeve mini dress you simply need to get if you're booked up for the rest of the summer for lunches and brunches and the thought of having to craft an outfit for each already has you exhausted. This is a no-thoughts-required dress to wear to them so... you're welcome.
2. A collared dress about as floral as Wednesday Addams would go. Give this a try with your favorite combat boots for a moody and cute end-of-summer look.
3. A baby doll dress that's pretty much the epitome of a classically cute summer dress. You can get it in a striking orange, a romantic red, even a floral pink — whatever you choose, you're sure to look absolutely adorable.
4. A one-shoulder maxi dress proving you don't need an intricate design to add some gorgeous and unique intricacies to your look.
5. A button-front dress you can wear to your next weekend getaway. This is the perfect dress for your glamping trip by the lake since the sleeves will keep you warm when the weather plummets at night.
6. A breezy dress with tie straps so you can live out your true boho fantasies. Whether you're wearing this barefoot around the house or pair it with heels for an intimate dinner, you'll look effortlessly chic.
7. A vintage-inspired dress here to make you look like you just came back from a leisurely Italian getaway. All you really need to accessorize this dress is an espresso in one hand and a fig in the other. Molto bene!
8. A strappy A-line number that's giving versatility from front to back. This dress has a simple design you can emphasize with minimal jewelry or layer over a band tee for an edgy look.
9. A cutout dress you'll welcome with open arms for those days where it's just too. dang. warm. to wear any kind of heavy fabric.
10. A woven mini dress complete with a raw hem that adds just a smidge of edge to your beach club fit. Or, if the beach club isn't your thing, try it at an indoor club for a simple and stylish going out 'fit.
11. A tiered maxi dress with ruffled straps for those days when you expect to reach your 10,000 steps because of all the errands you simply must run. This will help those arduous tasks feel just a bit more enjoyable!
12. A part-mesh bodycon dress offering a futuristic edge to your cocktail dress game. 🍸
13. A smocked maxi dress you just NEED in your closet if your latest look is Greek goddess going on vacation, be back... well, whenever.
14. A midi slip dress that'll help you reach your Paris-inspired style goals. This dress is the epitome of Parisian style in a nutshell with its structured silhouette that juxtaposed nonchalant lace trim. Emily in Paris could honestly take some notes.
15. An intricate maxi dress if you're going to your best friend's rooftop bday drinks. The ~fancy~ print plus the mesh top and leg slit is the perfect combination of "formal" and "celebrating with my bestie."
16. A printed sheer midi dress simply made for layering (literally, you'll be able to see EVERYTHING without something underneath). Wear this over a mini slip for date night or over jeans and crop top for your next fashion-forward party.
17. A sweater dress because you can never have too much sweater-type clothing, especially as the weather heads towards fall. Here's to getting ready for cider doughnuts and fall foliage in every single way possible.
18. A strappy halter dress that's just the ideal amount of sexy and flowy to wear to a bachelorette trip (or honestly, even the wedding that follows).
19. A midi dress with an A-line silhouette and a cinched bodice if you (like me) simply refuse to retire the color black during the warmer months. This is a great ~going out~ option — even if you're just going out for some ice cream.
20. A henley top maxi dress pretty much made for lazy Sundays spent reading a book by the window.
21. A shirtdress that'll have people wondering if it was made just for you. The puffed sleeves and tie front design add a layered look that pretty much does the work for you in terms of styling.
22. A floral midi slip because looking as pretty as a flower is easy when you're wearing an *actual* flower design.
23. A mock-neck dress perfect for those late summer/early fall weekends where you want to wear a more subdued color, but are still feeling the summer's lingering heat.
24. A deep-V midi dress just meant to be worn when you're hosting an outdoor dinner party. Think about it... you can wear this dress through all stages of getting ready for your party from grocery shopping and cooking to eating and playing some after-dinner charades. A dress that does it all.
25. A racerback slip that proves you *can* (and darn well will!) step out of the house in your PJs. Wear this with strappy heels during a night out with friends for style that doesn't sacrifice comfort.
26. A cinched midi dress you'll gravitate towards during your WFH days since it's dressy enough to wear on Zoom, while cozy and casual enough to wear for extended periods of time.
27. And a plaid midi dress because (as we all know) plaid just never goes out of style, period. Wear this dress to your next rooftop event for a comfy yet super trendy look.
