1. A relaxed maxi dress for those WFH days where you simply CANNOT wear pants, but you still want to look put together for your Zoom meetings.
2. A prairie-chic number that makes it look like you're ready to have tea and catch up on some of Coleridge's poetry. Pair this with black Mary Janes, white socks, and a black ribbon through your hair to complete your look that says the English Romantic Period just entered 2022.
3. A pastel rainbow sleeveless sweater halter dress because it helps you serve every pastel color out there, while still staying true to your cozy-yet-sexy 2022 style.
4. A smock dress with tiered ruffles that you'll throw on whenever you need a stylish outfit in a FLASH, despite your busy schedule.
5. A mesh cover-up dress so you can amp up your chic and trendy pool party look with very little effort.
6. A smocked dress with convertible puff sleeves for those days when the weather seems to be ~hot and cold~, literally. Wear this dress off-the-shoulder for outdoor hangs in the warm sun, or on-the-shoulder as the cool evening approaches.
7. A gingham mini dress to wear to a picnic to create a very meta moment. I mean, how hilarious yet jaw-droppingly cute would this Insta post be?!
8. A satin slip dress is your ticket to looking absolutely faaabulous at your next event, while still aligning with your all-neutral style.
9. A striped halter maxi dress if you absolutely love stripes, but want to opt for a gentler version of the classic pinstripe design. The muted colors in this dress leave room for more extravagant accessories, like bright drop hoops or a deep emerald clutch.
10. A puffed sleeve floral number that will make people think you paid the big bucks at a boho boutique for a piece that's equally intricate and adorable (but way more affordable)!
11. A maxi lace evening dress that truly proves that you can look like a million bucks without breaking the bank!
12. A satin faux wrap mini dress to serve some cute yet sultry Y2K vibes while heading over to the hors d'oeuvres.
13. A crotchet mini dress that is made to keep you looking cool and feeling warm during those upcoming fall fire pit hangouts.
14. A knit corset sweater dress, because this upcoming fall is all about the corset, baby! Real corsets are sometimes uncomfortable — so why not have a comfy and ultra-cozy version (like this sweater dress) that you can wear during lazy Sunday afternoons?
15. A vintage-inspired midi so you can get one step closer to dressing like your style icon, Jane Birkin.
16. A sleeveless chambray high neck piece to bring a farmhouse-meets-boho edge to your warm weather style. All you need is this dress and a Western hat for a look that says, headed to Joshua Tree — be back...whenever?
17. A ruched mini-dress with puff sleeves that you can wear with your favorite low-top sneakers to lunch, or spice it up with neon strappy sandals for your next rooftop cocktail event.
18. A delicate cap-sleeve dress that makes you look like you're about to head out to a Cocteau Twins concert. Basically, this dress has moody, cute '90s style written all over it.
19. A colorblock cover-up, since a high-contrast colorblock is the *easiest* way to add a striking chic factor to your beach getup.
20. A button-front dress that says, it's the end of summer — may as well go all-out and wear as many fun, picnic-ready dresses as possible.
21. A fringe tunic, because there's no reason you can't dabble in a bit of color and style when dressing light. Sure, this is technically a cover-up — but no one will know if you wear this as a dress over some nude undergarments!
22. A long sleeve paisley dress that is a pretty great investment since its light enough for warm weather, but its muted colors will work well in the fall, too!
23. A smocked flutter-strap dress that you'll want to wear when the heat is blaring and EVERYTHING is sweating, but you still want to look fab during wine and oysters happy hour.
24. A classic T-shirt dress with a ruched side, just in case you're looking for a piece that is simple enough to go with pretty much every single scarf, belt, hat, and piece of jewelry in your closet right now. Consider it the perfect blank canvas!
25. A square-neck floral mini dress because it is begging you to wear it to your next concert. Think about it — this dress will feel cozy, look great with sneakers, and keep you cool as the crowd goes wild!
26. A smocked tank dress if you've been really into quilts lately. This number has a breezy cut for those early autumn days, with colors and patterns that remind you that fall foliage is just around the corner.
27. And a cute smocked dress that has a flowing cut that's ideal for late summer, with a moody design that says I'm one step closer to pumpkin spice season.
