You thought the summer sales were over, right? Or are you over the sales? Either way, listen up: There are some pretty sweet deals to be had right at the last minute. I'm not going to ignore the most important one of them all: dresses. Finding chic frocks in the summer sales is something I do every year. Many styles are often versatile enough to wear all year round, depending on how creative you fancy getting with layering, so it's a good idea to invest in the kind of easy, throw-on versions that last month after month.
To save you some precious time (it's Friday and we know you've probably oversubscribed yourself), I've tracked down a surefire edit of goodies—even some that are now hidden on the sites. Without further ado, allow me to introduce the very best of the summer sales dresses that are still in stock. Trust us—these will 100% see you through to next year and beyond.
