No matter which occasion you are shopping for, there's a great summer dress for it. Signed up for tennis lessons? Add one of Tory Burch's classic sporty styles to head to the courts. Have summer weddings on the agenda? Snap up a beautiful satin-and-lace midi dress in pastel sherbet from Ulla Johnson or a sequined column gown in green apple from 16Arlington. Packing for vacation? A colorful chevron cover-up from Missoni or knit maxi from The Garment feels particularly suitcase-worthy. Staying in town? A beautiful fit-and-flare midi dress from Reformation or a boatneck mini from St. Agni works for anything, from a date night to dinner with friends.
Regardless of what is on your upcoming schedule, there are so many great new dresses arriving on the market just in time for summer. Ahead, shop my edit of the best dresses of the season, including a range of styles and price points.
