A dress is one of those singular fashion staples that stands the test of time. Its wear is synonymous with milestones such as weddings and other celebrations to easy everyday elegance. A good dress can take on cultural significance, too: just think of J Lo’s Versace gown that launched Google Images, Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress, or most recently, Sofia Richie’s Chanel bridal gown. Every season, designers and retailers roll out fresh interpretations of this wardrobe icon, whether they’re playing around with new silhouettes and unexpected color combinations or experimenting with innovative fabrics. But, ultimately, whatever form it takes, the dress is a closet classic that will never lose its relevance.

For everyday ease and elegance, a prairie-style dress is a fanciful outfit formula to rely on time and again. Mainstays in this category are, of course, Tory Burch and Dôen, however, options from La Ligne and Matteau are just as delightful. Style the staples with a simple sandal for a polished-to-perfection look this summer.
Lingerie-inspired, lacy slips graced the spring runways and now our shopping carts. Most notably from Nensi Dojaka, the style is both sultry and sophisticated. Other slips include those from Reformation and Saint Laurent to SIR and Simkhai. Styling tip: elevate your slip dress with a minimalist kitten heel for perfect party wear.
Whether you’re beach bound or not, a tropical-printed dress from the likes of Alémais or Agua by Agua Bendita will instantly transport you to vacation mode. Simkhai’s crochet maxi dress feels especially festive, while Johanna Ortiz’s sequin minidress is a must in any summer capsule wardrobe.
A white dress is a summer staple no matter the scenario, whether you’re headed to an all-white party or a backyard barbeque. It’s also a blank canvas for your warm weather accessories to shine, like a raffia bag or a strappy sandal. Options from SIR and Staud are light and airy, while shirtdresses from Cos and Lafayette are crisp and chic.
Another way to wear florals this spring? 3D blooms, of course. Made popular by Coperni and Magda Butrym, the style continues with origami-style frocks from Alessandra Rich to even Mango.
A dress trend synonymous with the summer heat is undeniably the sleeveless style–and timeless tank dresses from Toteme to Anine Bing are almost too easy to wear. Meanwhile, La Ligne’s striped version is notably nautical.
Denim is a wardrobe mainstay no matter the season. This summer, however, the closet classic is home to a new style: the denim dress. From the ultra-luxe to contemporary, denim dresses are a fresh way to wear the essential. Find options from Ferragamo and Co to Magda Butrym and Citizens of Humanity.

Of the new arrivals on the dress scene, we can’t seem to take our eyes off of maximalist maxi dresses from the likes of Loewe and Paco Rabanne to Christopher Esber and Siedres. While our current era of fashion may lean more minimalist, this summer, we urge you to dress to the max.
The secret to successful soirée dressing this spring? Why, the little black dress, of course. With chic styles reigning from Khaite to The Row, an LBD is an all-in-one-outfit formula that almost always guarantees your spot on the best dressed guest list.
