When the mercury climbs and the humidity is so high it feels like the air itself is sweating, there’s something singularly appealing about a summer dress. It’s light, it’s airy, it’s effortless—and it can be a one-and-done outfit. Whether you’re looking for something short and swingy or long and flowy, sleek and black or boldly patterned, our dress shop has options. These nine are our current favorites—for everything from workdays to beach days to requires-an-RSVP celebrations.
