Move over butter yellow — powder blue is the new it-color of the season, and it's everywhere! Summer colors are trending towards pastels this year, with lighter yellows, pinks, and purples staying popular well past spring and into the warmer months. And while those hues are always adorable, my favorite pastel of late has to be powder blue! It's such a nice pop of color, pairing with just about anything and looking great on everyone! From mini dresses to wear to the beach to maxi dresses perfect for a wedding, we've got all the powder blue dress picks that you're guaranteed to love!

This Bridgerton-esque dress is sure to make you look like a diamond of the season with its layered tulle and romantic neckline. Plus, powder blue is definitely a House Bridgerton hue — I could see Daphne Bridgerton rocking this gown in a heartbeat! So stunning!

WAYF Pleated Sundress
Sundressesare an essential in the summertime for me. I often hate the idea of throwing on pants or jeans in the summer heat, so sundresses — and especially strapless ones — really save me!
