Summer dresses for 2025

We're dreaming up days spent under the summer sun -- a picture complete with new season dresses.

Our summer dress collection sets us up for any occasion: crochet dresses for a beach vacation, slip dresses for a hot city stroll and linen dresses for practical everyday wear.

While plenty of our spring dresses transitioned well into the summer months, we can't help but shop the latest drops from some of our favorite brands.

Abercrombie has a shell-print strapless minidress with built-in shorts for the comfort benefits of a skort. It's made with linen and cotton and has removable straps, so you can style it however you see fit for various vacation activities. Meshki's summer dress collection includes a crochet maxi with pearl drop details, well-suited for summer brides, and J.Crew's latest sale means stylish options at a discount.

ICYMI: Polka dots are trending, and no matter where you look, there seems to be a polka-dot dress ready to win your heart. We've found picks under $40 from Amazon, like a strapless, flowy maxi that we think you'll wear multiple times throughout the remainder of the summer.
