There's no season quite like minidress season, and thankfully, it's reaching its peak. As late summer approaches and temperatures reach their highest, the only thing that feels right is buying an adorable minidress to keep you looking (and feeling) impeccably cool. From linen-blend shift dresses to sparkly event minis, there's usually a dress for everyone.
While I tend to limit my options to simple white dresses, I've been leaning out of my comfort zone as colorful silk halters and sequined numbers pop up on my social media pages. If you want to add a cute minidress to your collection, scroll to see 31 of my favorites below.
