I'm a Fashion Editor: If You Only Buy One Thing This Summer, Make It a Linen Dress


We all know 90-degree weather is quickly approaching, and on those summer days that are simply too hot to handle, there are only a handful of items I want to wear (aside from a swimsuit), one of which is a linen dress. Breathable, lightweight, and effortlessly elegant, a linen dress will provide the perfect wardrobe relief throughout the season, whether you're planning a beach vacation or looking for a stylish option to wear to work. There's truly nothing like the simplicity and style of an LWD or LBD, but there are also plenty of chic, colorful, and printed linen dresses out there, which will be the stars of your summer wardrobe.
In short, it's time to invest in one before the sweltering temps hit. Below, I'm sharing some of my absolute favorite linen dresses on the internet right now that are fashion-forward, comfortable, and chic. There's something for every occasion and budget.
