Can Print Linen Blend Strappy Midi Dress
This red midi dress is covered in a quirky print of canned foods reminiscent of the Mediterranean coast, making it the perfect pick to pack for any seaside vacation (or just sitting in the sun dreaming of your ideal European getaway)! The top half of the dress is more fitted against your body before gently flowing down into an a-line skirt that hits around the calves. It's made from 55% linen and 45% viscose for an easy, breezy feel!
The Can Print Linen Blend Strappy Midi Dress is currently on sale for $54 (was $90).
Collared Split Neck Mini Dress
This polished mini dress boasts a simple collar that takes the look up a notch without being too over-the-top. It's an easy wear with practically any summer sandals you have, and since the soft knit material comes in this neutral brown color, it'll be an effortless color match for seasons to come.

Striped Cross Back Maxi Dress
Tying up the crossy straps on the back of this 100% cotton dress will definitely make you feel like the queen of summer. It has a trendy square neckline to even out the look, plus, aren't these pink and red stripes just to die for?! What's more is this maxi has pockets along each side seam. Slide into your fave summer shoes, and you're ready to tackle anything in this pick.

Floral Crossover Back Button Midi Dress
This floral dress allows you to bloom in your own special way, following your figure flatteringly from the bust to the bottom hem. I'm in awe of this adorable green print, but the strappy back design makes it even better! The brown buttons that secure this 100% viscose dress in place make it feel perfectly retro – I'd pair it with some cute clogs and a wide statement belt.

Puff Sleeve Square Neck Midi Dress
This bright red color is undeniably striking, so you won't have to work too hard to make a style statement with it. Just slip into this dress' adorable puff sleeves and romantic empire waist, and let the silhouette do the talking! This pick is made from 55% linen and 45% viscose, so it's fairly breathable. You'll get even more airflow from the leg slit cut into the midi skirt. The smocked back allows for freedom of movement while the rest of the dress is non-stretchy overall.

Gingham Puff Sleeve Shift Dress
This sweet, swingy dress reminds me of a serene Parisian summer, and it's an amazing modest option for the days you don't feel like showing too much skin. The bold puff sleeves are met with a more defined waist, polishing up the ensemble a bit and creating a flattering shape. The material itself is 50% cotton, 47% polyester, and 3% spandex, offering ample breathability for those really hot days. This pick zips up discreetly in the back.

This midi also comes in brown and pink and is currently on sale for $50 (was $100).
Chambray Crossover Back Button Midi Dress
Denim dresses are in, baby! Okay – this one's *actually* chambray, but that just makes it all the more ideal for summer! Chambray is a lot lighter on the bod than denim is, so you won't feel swamped wearing this elevated midi. Its design accentuates your waist with a high-waisted seam and vertical lining all the way through. The thick shoulder straps cross in the back for a fun, flirty effect I truly cannot get enough of.

Um, hello, color! I am swooning hard for this LOFT dress. It's absolutely comfy enough to wear in the day to day, being made from flowy, flouncy 100% cotton. The rainbow colorway is not to be ignored, but the tiering work and side pockets are a great bonus, too. This design is very easy-going and fits flawlessly with a stretchy smocked bust. It ties around the neck with two minimal straps, complementing any beach vacay or poolside adventure.
