1. A sleeveless maxi dress because hot temps are officially here, which means the season of leggings is officially closed. Say hello to your cuter (but equally as comfortable) new everyday uniform.

Lulus

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress. It fits like a glove. I love the two slits in the side. I received a lot of compliments. I will most likely purchase the other colors because I love it so much." —Allison M.

Price: $49 (available in sizes XXS—XL and in three colors)

2. A sweetheart mini dress for nights at the beach bar, ordering piña coladas and pretending you're on a Caribbean vacation and not lounging on the Long Island Sound.

Lulus

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL and in two colors/patterns) 

3. A backless lace dress for any 2025 and 2026 brides seeking an outfit for bridal showers, bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, and more. You're welcome.

Promising review: "It fits great and is a perfect look for a wedding rehearsal, which is why I got it. Got so many compliments. Lulus never disappoints." —Ellie W.

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XXXL)

4. A simple bodycon mini for days when your noggin is incapable of forming a thought, let alone an outfit. The foolproof equation goes as follows: this dress, sunnies, sneakers, a denim jacket if there's a breeze.

Lulus

Promising review: "Looking forward to dressing this up or down! I wore this for a night out so far, and it's slinky but didn't ride up too much. Comfortable, good quality dress, really pleased." —Kelsey C. 

Price: $39 (available in sizes XXS—XL) 

5. A breezy mini featuring a summer-approved print that will serve as my personal motivation to leave the comfort of my AC-filled living room to get the heck outside.

Lulus

Promising review: "Love the print and fit of the dress. The length was perfect too, not too long or short. The dress works well under a cardigan too, for the evenings or cooler mornings." —Rachel F. 

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL and two patterns) 

6. A cowl-neck backless mini that makes one word come to mind: stunning. This dress guarantees you'll be the belle of the ball at any event you grace with your presence going forward.

Lulus

Promising review: "Absolutely love this dress and color, looks exactly as pictured and fits true to size! I usually have difficulty buying dresses online because I am tall and sometimes they can be too short, but this dress is the perfect length!" —Hailey E.

Price: $49 (available in sizes XXS—XL and in five colors/patterns)

7. A breezy tie-strap mini you'll want to wear on hot, hot, hot, and humid days when the idea of slithering into leggings makes you feel somehow even more sweaty.

Lulus

Price: $49 (available in sizes XXS—XL) 

8. A strapless evening dress perfect for all those fancy RSVP-requiring occasions. Not included but highly recommended as an accessory: a flute of very fine champagne.

Lulus

Price: $99 (available in sizes XXS—3X and in three colors)

9. A patchwork wrap dress if you're sick of solids but also aren't into florals, animal prints, etcetera. Here's something a bit more fun but still in your wardrobe vernacular.

Lulus

Promising review: "Love the colorblocking of this dress. Goes on over the head but wraps in the front. Material is lightweight and perfect for a summer night out, paired with dancing!" —Janice C. 

Price: $49.50 (available in sizes XS—XL) 

10. A striped midi dress featuring a boat neck cut and a *stunning* backless design that gives this simple silhouette a bit of extra oomph.

Lulus

Promising review: "I love this dress! I've always wanted a scoop-back dress, and this one's it. A jean jacket over it makes it appropriate for work, church, etc. can't wait to wear this on my beach vacay." —Amy K.

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL and in three colors/patterns)

11. A mesh and lace dress available in sunshine yellow, which is symbolic of allllllllll the time you'll be spending outdoors now that summer is here and there's not a drop of snow in sight.

Lulus

Promising review: "I thought by the looks of the dress, it would be a satin material or something that didn't have much give to it. The material is very stretchy but not cheap-looking. It's a very breathable material without being see-through. VERY good quality!" —Tiffany J. 

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL and in two colors/patterns) 

12. A floral mini dress I'm personally filing under "things to wear when I'm running errands, then immediately meeting my friends for brunch plans after."

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL and in two colors/patterns)

13. A bodycon dress cleverly designed with side ruched detailing *and* a little drawstring, i.e., you can tailor the length (as short or as long as the fabric will allow) for a perfect fit.

Lulus

Promising review: "This is a hot dress. I've worn it out in the US and over in Europe, and I always get compliments. Easy to dress up with heels or down with sandals/sneakers. Love the double layer for the chest area. No bra is needed if you don't want it! Also nice thick material." —Hailey G. 

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL and in two colors/patterns) 

14. A tie-strap mini dress featuring a fun beachside print: lobsters, seashells, the works. Living in a landlocked state and pretending you don't by way of clothing like the below? Brilliant.

Lulus

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL) 

15. A chic sleeveless mini that looks uber structured but is made from a surprisingly stretchy, comfy fabric — the kind that won't wrinkle after several hours of wear.

Lulus

Promising review: "I got this for a summer dress to wear for errands, and I can't say enough good things about it! The fabric is really soft and doesn't wrinkle when you sit in it for a while.

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XXXL and in three colors/patterns)

Lulus

Price: $71.20 (originally $89; available in sizes XXS—3X and in three colors/patterns)

17. A striped dress that is *the* ideal going-to-an-island suitcase attire — but even if you're not going on a trip anytime soon, this, in your summer wardrobe? It makes every day feel like a vacation.

Lulus

Lulus

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—L and in two colors/patterns) 

20. A retro-style mini dress with bold, gorgeous embroidery that looks like it was plucked from the racks of a fancy vintage boutique (no digging through a bajillion styles required).

Lulus

Promising review: "Great dress, looks better than the picture. Wonderful for any spring occasion or a girls' brunch. Love the material and how breathable/comfortable it is. Highly recommend if you are looking for a summer dress that you can dress up or down and wear to many occasions." —Merna A.

Lulus

Price: $49 (available in sizes XS—XL) 

25. A halter mini dress that feels like a respectful ode to the clubbing attire of the early 2010s, except it's made with stretchy fabric that feels supportive but not constrictive.
