Summer is here and we have found ten dresses that will keep you looking great all season long. Our favorite dresses for summer 2018 will take you from work to the red carpet, from a rock concert to a wedding reception. These designer dresses encapsulate all the adventures that summer has to offer!
Work-Appropriate
You can never go wrong with a classic DVF wrap dress. This Diane Von Furstenberg’s Yahzi Silk Jersey Wrap Dress ($428) can be worn to the office and then out for drinks at the end of the work day. All of DVF prints are lovely, but this green leaf print gives us tropical summer vibes.
Casual Boho
Heading out for a day at the farmers market? This Michael Kors Floral Embroidered Silk Dress ($495) is the perfect choice. The boho floral embroidery keep it casual while the silk fabric retains its refinement.
Preppy with Pockets
If you are looking for a preppy summer frock, look no further! The Silk V-Neck Sleeveless Patch Pocket Dress from Calvin Klein ($388) features a sleek, classic silhouette. And, look! Pockets!
Date Night
The stunning cobalt color of Joie’s Damica Silk Dress ($448) will keep your significant other’s eyes on you all date night. The ruffled one-should dress is fun and flirty without being overly fussy.
Ruffled Romance
For a bigger romantic statement, we adore this Printed Chiffon Dress with Embroidery from Dolce & Gabbana ($6,595). It is obviously an investment piece, but what a piece it is! The lush floral print, the heart adornment at the waist, the flattering halter… It is simply breathtaking.
Nautical for Sailing
Wear BCBG Max Azria’s Vintage Stripe Twist-Back Dress ($158) for a day of sailing or relaxing at the yacht club. Thin white stripes on navy are classically nautical. We love that the silhouette is minimal too for a clean, fresh vibe.
Summer Wedding
This soft pink Ted Baker Cut-Out Shoulder Maxi Dress ($395) is perfect for a summer wedding. The romantic cut-out shoulders and thigh-high slit are both sexy and elegant.
Denim for Days
It doesn’t get much cooler than this Sleeveless Mini Denim Dress from Alexander McQueen ($1,995). The corset-style denim dress is a great option for summer concerts!
Cool on the Carpet
Keep it cool on the red carpet with the Nat Mid-Length Fitted Dress from Alice + Olivia ($995). The fitted sequined sheath is event appropriate, while the floral embellishments prevent it from looking matronly.
Club Chic
You will make a statement this summer in the Fireworks Embroidered Dress from Valentino ($5,980). Show off your tan in a short skirt. Plus, what says summer better than fireworks?!
