Criss-Cross Halter Maxi Dress

As someone who previously swore by mini dresses in the summer, maxi dresses have officially taken over my closet. I’ve been eyeing this flowy, satin dress that’s perfect for summer weddings and lightweight enough to bring on your next vacation. The drape detail allows you to move freely, while the slit cut-out detail will leave you feeling cool and less sticky from the summer heat. One shopper said they “wore it to a very hot and humid outdoor wedding” but the fabric was “so light and airy,” it kept them cool the entire time.

Puff Sleeve Square Neck Dress

I am a lover of dramatic puff sleeves, so this now-$40 square neck dress caught my eye. It features an adjustable, barely-there belt detail and has a fully lined bodice. Plus, it’s available in classic, petite, and tall lengths, so you can find your ideal fit. Shoppers praised the Puff Sleeve Square Neck Dress that’s “soft and elegant,” according to one person. Another customer noted that “the light fabric was perfect” since it kept them cool but “was not see-through at all.” 

Linen Blend Split Neck Sleeveless Shirtdress

As temperature continues to rise, this sleeveless linen shirtdress is worth adding to your wardrobe. The  relaxed design of the airy dress is basically a cheat code to effortlessness. It features a button front, adjustable self-tie waist, and is lined so your undergarments won’t play peek-a-boo. One shopper called it a “classic style for summer that wears well.” They also highlighted that it’s “loose- fitting” and “breezy.”
