Meerokeety Scoop-Neck Dress
This floaty scoop-neck dress has such a versatile look that I could see myself dressing it up for happy hour with some pretty jewelry and a pair of wedges or wearing it casually for a weekend shopping day with sneakers. It’s made from a stretchy cotton material that should feel breathable even during the hottest hours. Plus, it’s machine washable, so if I want to wear it multiple times throughout the week, I easily can.
Prettygarden Smocked Dress
I love the stretchy, smocked bodice of this dress, which makes it flattering and comfortable to wear all day. The straps are adjustable for an even better fit, and the cotton and lyocell blend fabric is bound to be perfectly breezy. One shopper noted just how seamlessly the “hidden” pockets blend into its design and “don’t pop out at all.” “No one will even see the dress has pockets until you slip your hand into one,” they wrote.
Anrabess Gingham Dress
This gingham midi is the picture of summer style. It would be perfect for lunch, showers, work—you name it. Plus, it’s made from a light rayon fabric and has adjustable straps and a stretchy smocked back to keep you feeling comfy in it. Plus, gingham is everywhere this summer, so the pattern makes it totally on trend.
Vinglam Linen Halter Dress
Made from 100-percent linen, this halter-style mididress not only feels lightweight, but it’s moisture wicking, too. One customer said the material feels “high quality” and features a “drape that makes it comfortable to wear all day.” “The cut is really flattering without being tight,” they added.
R.Vivimos Flowy Maxidress
Since this tiered dress has a perfectly relaxed fit and is made from breathable cotton, I just know it’s one I would reach for on repeat during warmer months. It would work just as well for a casual brunch as it would as a beach coverup, and I love that it can be buttoned up if my chest needs a little extra coverage from the sun. It comes in 19 colors, too, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one to suit your taste—whether you prefer neutrals or bold summery hues.
Prettygarden Knit Dress
One reviewer wrote that this striped mididress earned them “lots of compliments” and said they were told it “looks very expensive,” despite being just $42. They noted that it’s “very comfy” to wear thanks to its “good stretch.” It also has a trendy rollneck design and open weave details that allow for extra airflow.
BTFBM Strapless Dress
If you’re looking for a truly versatile summer dress, this strapless style is it. It has pockets and a stretchy material that one reviewer said is “good quality.” They also mentioned they appreciate the “rubber lining on the inside at the top” that ensures the “dress doesn’t fall down.”
