Summer is upon us, so why not slay it in style with stylish summer dresses? Are you about to say goodbye to your quarantine wardrobe? My days of rotating into the softest spandex and the stretchiest stretch fabric will certainly be missed. The loose cuts of dresses, high waist pants, and button-up blouses also excite me. Nevertheless, it’s summer. In the next few months, as we transition back to work and after-work delights, FC has pulled together our picks of stylish, functional dresses that fight the heat, wear like a dream, and look comfortable while you transition away from leggings.
I have listed 10 of my favorite stylish summer dresses that will take you from work to play.
1. Dresses with Asymmetrical Overlays: Stylish Summer Dresses
Cuyana is a direct-to-consumer sustainable fashion brand that lives by the motto: Fewer, better things. This brand’s Asymmetrical Overlay Dress is easy elegance made from soft, swishy, Oeko-Tex certified cotton and modal. A cropped overlay and a dramatic asymmetrical hem give the dress shape and movement. It is one of the most stylish summer dresses that every woman should own.
2. All Yours Tank Maxi by Lululemon
Besides being soft, breathable, and perfect for summer, Lululemon’s VitaSea fabric is made with a blend of SeaCell, a sustainable fiber made from seaweed. The All Yours Tank Maxi drapes well and is extremely versatile. What’s the deal with heels and a necklace? Are you sure? Do you have sneakers and a hip bag? Check as well. Additionally, it’s better for the environment.
3. ADAY Over in One Dress
Women’s work garments by ADAY feature fewer wrinkles, fabrics that wear better (and longer), and sweat-resistant, sustainable materials. The Over in One dress was designed specifically for travel. It features a simple cami dress that can be wrapped and cinched in a variety of ways depending on your occasion and fit preference.
It is one of the stylish summer dresses that make you stand out in a crowd.
4. Stylish summer dresses from époque evolution’s The One Wrap Dress
The capsule wardrobe approach to style is shared by Époque Évolution and Aday. One Wrap Dress from the brand has a multi-fit option and is made with Econyl, regenerative nylon derived from synthetic waste. This chic little dress (which comes in black and a medium-gray slate) can be tied at the waist to adjust its shape and is designed to be UPF 50 and quick to dry, making it perfect for the beach to the boardwalk.
5. ’90s Mini Dress by Everlane
Indulge in some 90s nostalgia with Everlane’s classic sheath. It’s been updated with a modern look that’s easier to wear. A cool cotton jersey knit dress with cap sleeves and empire waist seams that stay comfortable in all weather conditions.
6. Dolman Sleeve Maxi Dress: Stylish Summer Dresses
You can also wear Anthropologie’s house line, Daily Practice, to look great on the go. This Dolman-Sleeve Maxi is particularly appealing to us. The dress features a stretchy ribbed cotton fabric, a breezy cross-back detail, a cinched waist, and a curved hem, straight skirt. You can lounge in this simple, sophisticated dress before and after work.
7. Dress by Boden Lucinda
If you weren’t a print person before, you might be now that you’ve seen Boden’s summer collection. With its fun, but not cheesy, seasonal patterns, the company adds color and interest to your wardrobe. A well-fitting silhouette and comfortable fabric (the Lucinda is crafted from an unlined viscose jersey for a lightweight, breathable fit) make this a new favorite.
8. Dress Madewell Linen Cotton Side Button
You don’t have to be fussy with linen. Even machine washing is possible with it. (It is!) Madewell’s linen-cotton shift dress has a classic silhouette that gives you the option to personalize it without looking bored.
9. Nap dress by Hill House
Nap dresses are wildly popular for many reasons. Once you’ve managed to get your hands on one, you’ll probably want another. Hills House Home’s signature smocked-bodice dresses are easy to wear, always adorable, and created for formal weddings, casual summer gatherings, and for hours on end laying on the couch. Is there any reason you wouldn’t want more than one?
10. In My Feels Halara Dress
My favorite Outdoor Voices Exercise Dress is hard to find: It sells out fast. This In My Feelings dress is similar to one offered by activewear brand Halara. In My Feelings is a dress I have raved about on Reddit and YouTube even though I am a huge Exercise Dress fan. In Halara’s half the price, you’ll find the same handy features (a phone pocket, shorts with support lining, and a feel that appeals to me). Choose your adventure, friends. Here’s one I would recommend.
