1. A boho maxi dress with a unique flair courtesy of the tiered skirt and Swiss dots. It's like a monochromatic polka-dot and adds so much dimension and fun.

Promising review: "I was excited to get this dress, and it did not disappoint. I started looking early for a dress to wear to my son's high school graduation and this one will be perfect for an outside ceremony. It is light, flowy, and very comfortable. The elastic waist is comfortable and does not pinch or move. I like the matching tie belt, but I have thought about getting a nice wide leather one to wear as well. The modesty snap on the top is very nice and I was happy that it did not tug any. I got the XL as recommended by Amazon and I am really happy with the sizing. My busty sisters, this dress is the one you need, I'm a 36 H in bra size and I have no trouble pulling on the top. Perfect for wearing heels or flats." —DRN

Price: $50.89 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 26 colors)

2. A front-slit one-shoulder dress you'll want to hide really well because all your roomies will be fighting over it for their chance to "borrow" it.

Promising review: "I'm thrilled with my recent purchase of this white summer dress! It's a dream come true for warm weather. It's breathable, allowing me to stay cool and comfortable all day long. Even better, it's NOT SEE-THROUGH, so I can confidently wear it without worrying about transparency issues. The dress's design is both elegant and versatile, making it suitable for various occasions. It's quickly become my go-to outfit for hot summer days, and I couldn't be happier with this stylish and practical addition to my wardrobe. Highly recommended!" —M

Price: $41.49+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 colors)

3. A loose, tiered mini dress that'll be the perfect lightweight pick for warmer days. It has fun ruffled layers from top to bottom that let the world know, you're dressed for fun in the sun.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I am a heavy-chested woman who prefers a more modest neckline and cut. I was so comfortable with this dress. I wore it to a wedding, and I felt so confident! There is a stitch line across the chest, which sometimes causes the dress to ride up, but I wore my dress with Nike Pro shorts underneath. It appears to be thin when you open it, but once it’s on, it’s not see-through at all. Love this dress and will be getting more soon!" —Sierra Rose

Price: $33.98+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 30 styles)

4. A wrap knit mini dress for the days when you'd much rather be wrapped up in a robe. Instead, you can cuddle yourself in this cozy number and feel like you're wearing a robe in public without looking like it.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I adore this dress!! The fabric is perfect, and it’s not too thick, so I wasn’t overly warm. It wasn’t thin at all. It fits and drapes comfortably. No pulling and tugging at it all night. Sexy but still classy! It did have that ruffling at the ends of the sleeves that some of the other reviews mentioned, but that wasn’t a deal-breaker for me. My watch and bracelets kind of took the attention away from it. I love that the belt is on the wider side! I felt like it helped to accentuate my waist. I really wanted to show my curves, and it did just that! I felt super pretty in it, so I’ll probably be buying a couple of different colors! Definitely pleased! Go ahead and get it!" —Diana Peralta

Price: $48.89 (available in sizes S–XL and in 23 colors)

5. A loose swing dress with an elastic waist that's perfect for wearing on a casual date while leaving you plenty of room for that second order of onion rings.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love these dresses. I have them both in the short- and long-sleeve styles, and I wear them more often than anything else in my closet. They're comfortable, complementary, and versatile. You can wear them with tights and a long cardigan in the winter, and it's also lightweight enough to roll up the sleeves and wear in the summer." —Haley

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors)

6. A button-up maxi dress because it's a perfect option for family picnics, baby showers, and wandering aimlessly through the shopping outlets on a Saturday morning.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I am so pleased with this dress. I am only 5'1", so usually, maxi dresses are way too long for me. This one is perfect, so it will hit average-height people at probably the ankle or a bit higher. This dress is so comfortable. I love the button details that go from top to bottom. I don't love the tassels on the belt, but since I love the rest, I'm not concerned with those. I love wearing dresses to work, but it's hard to find dresses with sleeves or dresses that aren't too low-cut. This one is exactly what I hoped it would be, and it's the perfect dress to wear to work." —Katy Jones

Price: $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and in five colors and styles)

7. A ruffled sleeve baby doll dress for that boho chic look you've been searching for to top off your summer capsule. (Pockets included!)

amazon.com

Promising review: "These dresses fit great and it's so comfortable to wear. The stretchy material means it gives when I sit down or stand up. I bought three and am so happy with each color and style." —Carolyn Matthews

Price: $33.89+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 19 colors)

8. A frilly short-sleeve maxi ready to stand out due to its unique detailing across the entire dress, down to the hem! This dress will not only be night out-ready, but it's also a great option to carry you through wedding season.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I got so many compliments on this dress. It’s beautiful. The lace is nice and thin, the fringe at the bottom is a great detail, and the dress is long. The lining is nice. You will need a slip as there is a space between the breasts that can be see-through. I wore a bodysuit, and you could not tell. It is a stunning dress!" —Stephanie & Patrick Vantine

Price: $67.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 31 different colors and styles)

9. A tie-front dress because you don't need a date night to slip into this subtle but sexy number. Reviewers say that the tie-front gives the girls a nice push-up, too.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!! It was so comfy and accentuated my body so well! The way I was able to tie the top still gave me a cute push. I loved the length for a semi formal event and will even pull this out for a summer BBQ! Would order again and in other colors!" —Cristina

Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 22 colors)

10. A cottagecore maxi dress for a look that's fresh out of a storybook and is ideal for ice tea sipping and novel reading in the garden.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Psst — this is an *excellent* alternative for the more expensive ~Nap Dresses~ that have gained popularity!

Promising review: "Ethereally beautiful!! This dress is absolutely LOVELY. It’s so lightweight, breezy, and comfortable. It fits perfectly, and the bodice has plenty of stretch, so if you’re in between sizes, you could go either way. I actually sized down because I wanted to wear it on the shoulders and didn’t want the sleeves slipping off, but I didn’t have an issue with that at all. It’s wrinkly when it arrives, but a quick steam makes it look so much nicer and more expensive than it is. I got the sage green color and it’s not see-through, it’s beautiful. (I actually returned it in favor of a color I thought I’d wear more, but if green is your fave then you’ll love it.) Get this dress!" —Laura

Price: $39.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 37 colors)

11. A satin square-neck dress that's ready to draw all the attention to those collar bones and make you feel like a fashion influencer everywhere you go.

amazon.com

Promising review: "It’s got a satin feel to it. It pairs nicely with wedges, sandals, or clear heels! Would be perfect for a picnic, date at a museum, a walk at a botanical garden, or a lunch date, plus many other things!" —Lacie Major

Price: $51.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in six colors)

12. A swing mini dress to make you feel like you just stepped into a romantic comedy. But there's nothing funny about how great you'll look in this dress.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress is so outside of anything I would normally choose for myself, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. It is super fun. It’s flowy and, feminine, and flirty. It can be paired with leggings or tights in colder weather or to cover a bit more skin, and you can go without in the summer or if you prefer to show a little more leg. I love the versatility of the style and the ability to dress it up or down, dress for cold or warm weather, flirty or conservative, etc. A definite must-have for any closet!" —Rachel Dazey

Price: $45.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 24 colors and styles)

13. A backless dress with a smocked bodice that some reviewers say fits so well, they were shocked. Plus, it's an affordable substitute for a more expensive brand that carries a dress in a similar style. (Bonus: The skirt portion is adjustable!)

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this dress for vacation and I couldn’t be happier. It was a bit of a pain to pack because the skirt is SO FLOWY and full of material that it took up a lot of space in my luggage. But I am SO HAPPY I brought it. Very comfortable, high quality, fits really well, and the skirt is adjustable! The top is stretchy, so anyone can wear this. I wore nippy covers under the top and was comfortable all day. I climbed rocks and hiked and went through the city in this dress!" —Megan

Price: $36.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 34 colors)

14. A sleeveless halter-neck sundress that's ready to carry you through festival season — I'm talkin' garlic festival, cheese festival, seafood festival, strawberry festival...

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This is a very comfortable dress. The fabric is soft and flows beautifully. It arrives very wrinkled, and simply hanging it does not solve that, so a warm iron touch-up is necessary. The back is high enough to be able to wear a strapless brassiere with it." —S. Fisher

Price: $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 19 colors)

15. A racerback maxi dress for that effortless look that can remain casual or be dressed up. It's a good base garment to build off of, depending on the occasion.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress is super cute and really comfortable. You can dress it up, or it can be casual. I have four of them and plan to buy more. My only complaint is that this print one is a couple of inches shorter than the solid ones, but I love the print! They are true to size for me, and the solid ones come almost to the floor, and I am tall, which I love!" —Amie H

Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 32 colors)

16. A short-sleeve block tunic dress with a unique design that serves as a statement piece all on its own. No flashy accessories needed; this dress is the focus.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress is so comfortable and lightweight which was exactly what I was going for. And it's so versatile. You can wear it with sneakers, sandals, or heels!" —Lina

Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight styles)

17. An off-shoulder semi-sheer lace dress some reviewers have worn as a wedding dress for their beach ceremonies. If anyone is going to be comfortable on their wedding day, it's gotta be the bride.

Amazon

Promising review: "I love this dress! It fits perfectly. I have been wanting to find a replacement for my favorite dress for several years (the smocking finally stretched out after 10 years), but have not been successful (I hate clothes shopping). I got used to ordering online when Covid hit, and was so pleased to find the perfect smocked top summer dress to replace my old one. My new dress fits just right on my bust and waist and is just the right length. I am planning to buy this same dress in a different color. I am happy to now have a comfortable, beautiful dress to go out with my husband." —Amy Lewis

Price: $23.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in six colors)

18. A spaghetti strap bohemian sundress perfect for backyard shenanigans with the family or camping out on your favorite lawn chair with that book you've been saying you're gonna read since 2019.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Love this summer dress! It comes in beautiful colors and patterns. I got two, one orange with cream flowers and the other in a palm leaf pattern. The most important feature about this dress is the fabric, it is kind of a heavy jersey — very breathable and comfortable. It has pockets, which is very functional without being bulky. The back of the dress is in a V-line, and I found out that you can wear it to the front for a sexier look. Totally satisfied with this purchase." —Amazon Customer

Price: $19.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 colors and patterns)

19. A sassy V-neck dress that’ll billow in the breeze while your Leonardo DiCaprio holds you lovingly by the waist à la Titanic.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! I ordered this dress to wear for my husband‘s 50th birthday party. And I don’t know if I can wait that long! The fit is perfect, the fabric is so soft, it sways when you move, and doesn’t cling. Absolutely thrilled with this dress! I will be purchasing it in other colors!" —Tracey W

Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 44 colors)

20. A tie-dye dress just begging to be seen by locals during your next island getaway. Not into tie-dye? There's a bunch of other fun patterns, too.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Love it! Received a lot of compliments, and this dress is super comfortable and cute. Make sure to order a size smaller than your normal fit because it runs big. After reading the reviews, I did that and it fit perfectly." —Kim

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 10 colors and patterns)

21. A bodycon tank dress that'll give you a gentle hug each time you slip it on. It's an easy choice for casual days out or a semi-formal affair with a few added accessories and a killer handbag.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I have this dress in beige, emerald green, canary yellow — and I want more! It’s great dressed down with some sandals and a jean jacket or dressed up with some heels and nice jewelry. It’s sooo soft and comfy that you can lounge around in it. Good material, on the thicker side, to provide a small amount of shaping, but I usually wear Spanx, too. The only downside for some may be finding the right bra. I just go without a bra for these dresses, it has some small level of support in the spandex." —Julie R. Voigt

Price: $14.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 30 colors)

22. A casual button-down dress with an A-line cut and tiered design that offers a little flair. It would look great paired with cute sandals or open-toed heels.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Comfy, comfy, comfy! I ordered this dress in both black and green. I definitely could have sized down. It’s very comfortable and definitely my go-to dress especially on those days that I’m feeling bloated and don’t want anything clinging to my body. Holds up well after washing and doesn’t shrink!" —Kaylee

Price: $34.59 (available in sizes S–XL and 23 colors and options)

23. A tiered button-down denim dress ready to square dance across the floor to Beyoncé's latest album. "This ain't Texas, ain't no hold 'em. So lay your cards down, down, down, down."

amazon.com

Promising review: "Wore this to a girls' weekend trip to Nashville and will be wearing it again! The denim material is structured enough to give the dress its intended shape but soft enough to move with your body. The back detail is super cute. Fit is true to size. The only issue I ran into is that I have a larger chest and the top buttons did not sit right if buttoned, I wore a tank underneath and left the buttons open on top so the fit looked more natural. Would buy again!" —Kaitie Baumann

Price: $44.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 28 colors)

24. A loose-fitting dress that features adorable puff sleeves and reviewers say is one of their favorite pieces to throw on for a ~lazy and cute~ dress day.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This dress is wonderful! It’s cute and comfy and looks really good on those of us with a big chest, especially in the back where a dress would normally sit and make it look like you’ve got another set of boobs. That is not an issue with this dress. I’d also recommend sizing down. I got a 3X, which does fit, but it would fit a bit better if I got a 2X." —Olivia Battaglia

Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes XL–4X and 13 colors)
