Anna & Chris Women’s Ruffle Cap Sleeve Sundress

A ruffle-cap sleeve detail makes this frock a fashionable choice for any summer occasion—and it’s currently 50 percent off at Amazon. The babydoll cut is chic, the pockets are convenient, and it’s even machine washable. “This is easily the nicest dress I’ve purchased on Amazon,” one shopper wrote in a review, suggesting wearing the dress to late summer dinners.

Cnjfj Shoulder Tie Skater Dress

For a casual outfit that looks just as cute running to snag a latte or on date night, opt for this soft skater-style mini dress available in 18 colorways and prints. The wide scoop neck and flirty shoulder tie straps are ideal for beaching, traveling, going out, and more. Some shoppers have worn this in their maternity wardrobes, while others appreciate how breathable it is. Do note that it may not be a daily option for taller shoppers due to length; instead, it would be darling as a coverup.

Anrabess Long Maxi Dress

A tank-style maxi dress is always a smart buy, especially one like this with a split side and pockets for easy movement. With over 17,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, this casual, machine-washable garment has a classic crew neck and a loose fit—and many shoppers buy it in multiple colors. “I’ve been looking for a dress like this for years,” one buyer wrote in a review. “It’s the perfect thickness for summer.”

Merokeety Women’s T-Shirt Dress

Meanwhile, a T-shirt dress will always get you from point A to point B in style and comfort. When you need to look put together but are simply dying to stay in your loungewear on the couch, this under-$40 Amazon pick is your best bet. Available in 23 colorways, the short-sleeve pullover is even machine washable, and it’s 23 percent off for a limited time.

Gap Rib Midi Tank Dress

Available in regular, tall, and petite sizes, this versatile knee-length tank dress can be worn on its own or layered for any occasion—making it an ideal buy for summer and beyond. Rock it alone in the hotter months, or add a denim jacket and tights when it gets cooler. The V-neck on the front and back taper subtly, and the sleeveless style’s available in two colorways also: a traditional stripe and a red-brown shade sure to go with everything. Better yet, the dress is an extra 50 percent off in your cart.

Everlane Linen Shirt Dress

What’s more summery than a gingham print? This oversized collared shirt dress can also be worn as a coverup or tunic style over pants or shorts. Its relaxed fit and soft linen material—which as a fabric is naturally thermoregulating to be cool in summer and warmer in winter—make it a comfortable selection you’ll reach for time and time again, whether you’re off to a backyard barbecue, headed to the office, or running errands. Everlane offers the same shirt dress on-sale across six colorways too; snag a vivid green to make a statement, or a subtle khaki for a more neutral layer.

By Anthropologie Terry Cover Up Midi Dress

Anthropologie’s dress department always makes the heart go a-flutter, and the on-sale section has plenty to swoon over. The brand knows how to toe the line between artistic flair and timeless styles crafted for longevity, and this striped midi cover up is a prime example. The pullover’s stripes evoke a beachy aesthetic, while its convenient terry cloth fabric is trendy and functional for wearing over swimsuits and the like. Hitting just below the knee, the dress has a slit all the way up to the hip, a deep V, and flattering cuffed sleeves.

Madewell Flutter-Sleeve Maxi Dress

Every woman needs a breezy white dress for summertime, and this Madewell pick embodies the intention of the wardrobe must-have: effortless chic. Its flutter-sleeves and soft eyelet pattern contribute to its impression of delicacy, plus a tie in the back to keep the sleeves from falling off your shoulders. Crafted from airy, crinkled georgette, this ageless smocked maxi dress is made from 100 percent cotton. Plus, can’t you just imagine it contrasting with a golden tan?

Outdoor Voices Court Dress

While shopping the sales, don’t forget an exercise dress, the unsung hero of your summer wardrobe. Whether you’re about to best everyone in a riveting game of pickleball or simply looking to beat the heat while you run to the store or lounge around the house, this iconic athleticwear looks immediately polished. Since its initial purpose is to wick away sweat and keep up with you while working out, it’s kind of the ideal summer dress. Act fast while this option is a full 50 percent off. We’re particularly enraptured by its graceful cutout detail at the sides. Plus, it even has a skort bottom, so maneuverability is easy.

English Factory Knit Collared Poplin Mini Dress

Sick of your work wardrobe, and sweating through it to boot? We don’t blame you. For those of us in the office and not lounging poolside while responding to emails, balancing professionalism with—well, heat—can quickly get boring. This classy, two-tone dress from English Factory is here to save the day. Lightweight poplin keeps you cool, while puffy sleeves and a collared knit bodice add an old-fashioned sophistication to the look. 

Madewell Denim Square-Neck Benton Midi Dress

Available at a staggering 66 percent discount, this fitted dark-wash denim dress is sure to become a staple in your outfit-of-the-day snaps throughout the seasons. Oh, and did you see all the adorable snaps and seams down its front and sides? One shopper review praised its quality—especially at such a surprisingly low price—noting that its buttons felt sturdy, too. The style’s available in sizes 00 to 16.

Ava & Viv Women’s Mini Shift Dress

Oh la la! Do we spy your next resort pick? This patterned frock is sure to turn heads, and its boat neckline makes it adaptable to any occasion. Available in five colorways ranging from a solid LBD to festive, sunny prints, this mini shift dress is crafted from midweight canvas fabric. Of course, the side pocket is also worth loving. One reviewer calls it a “perfect summer staple,” calling out its classic neckline.

Hill House Home The Grace Mini Nap Dress

While more of a splurge, you’ve probably heard that the Nap Dress is worth the investment, and the Juliet sleeves of this mini version are oh-so-romantic. The square neckline and slim skirt in combination with its dreamy patterns? Sold. Hill House Home rarely has sales of this caliber, so you’ll want to swoop in for The Grace Mini while it’s still available—in five colorways and prints too.
