Summer travel season is upon us, and I, for one, am deep into my pre-vacation shopping spiral. I have a few trips planned over the next two months, and destinations vary from Paris to Miami to Texas, each with only one thing in common: scorching temperatures. When temps reach 90° and above, there's only one thing I want to wear, and that's a linen dress.
Linen is the quintessential summer fabric thanks to its breathability and elegant aesthetic, so I'm looking to add a few pieces to my vacation wardrobe. A linen dress is not only a key summer '25 buy. It's one you'll return to for years to come, so it's well worth the investment. Thankfully, there are a ton of chic options at all different price points right now, so I already have 34 gorgeous options saved. Since I know we're all prepping for summer heat, I'm here to share those with you today. Below are the best under-$400 linen dresses from Revolve, Shopbop, and Net-a-Porter.
