The Popular Summer Dress Styles

Ready to show off your style and stay comfortable at the same time in pretty summer dresses? Let's get you prepped on the popular sun dress styles that you can add to your wardrobe:

1. Mini Dresses

Let's start with the fun and flirty style that falls above the knee - the mini dress. This dress style can be dressed up or down, making it versatile for different occasions. For various looks, you can pair them with sandals, sneakers, or heels. Mini summer sundresses look perfect for almost every casual setting in summer.

2. Midi Dresses

A midi dress is a bit longer than a mini dress; it falls between the knee and ankle. This is the style you should opt for when you want more coverage than a mini dress while still keeping cool in hot weather. The midi-sun dresses in our collection are in various silhouettes, such as A-line, fit-and-flare, or bodycon.

3. Maxi Dresses

When you want to wear women's dresses to the beach, we'd advise you to go for the maxi or long flowy summer dresses. They're perfect for a beach vacation and you can even wear them for a summer wedding. Instead of the flowy style, you can also choose from the straight-cut long dresses that fall to the floor or ankle as a wedding guest. To pair your maxi dresses in summer, opt for sandals or wedges.

4. Wrap Dresses

A wrap dress is one of the summer's favorite styles. These nice sun dresses in burgundy, red, black, white and other colors wrap around your body and you can tie them at the waist. This style is flattering for all body types and comes in various materials, such as jersey, silk, or cotton. It can be paired with sandals, heels, or sneakers.

5. Shirt Dresses

Shirt dresses are pretty summer dresses that resemble long shirts. The collar and button at the front make it easy to wear and style. Shirt dresses come in various lengths and can be paired with sandals or sneakers for a casual look or heels for a dressier occasion.

6. Off-the-Shoulder Dresses

An off-the-shoulder dress typically exposes the shoulders and neckline. It is perfect for showing off a summer tan.

Adding a few key accessories can take your summer dress from basic to beautiful. Some chic ideas include:

1) Hats: A cute sun hat can add a touch of glam to any summer dress while also protecting your face from the sun.

3) Jewelry: From statement necklaces to delicate bracelets, the right piece of jewelry can elevate your summer dress game.

From colors that don't blend in with your skin tone to styles that fall gracefully on your physique instead of looking pretty sexy, here are some quick tips to make choosing a sun dress less daunting: 

• Polka dots and florals are synonymous with women's sundresses, ensure you shop one in shades or colors that suit you.
• When looking for summer dresses, choose a style that is most comfortable for you and suits your body type. Whether it's the wrap style, the ones with the high neck, the off shoulder style, the short sleeves, the spaghetti strap style, or the style with buttons all down the front, there's always a style to highlight your best features. 
• You certainly don't want obvious discomfort, so opt for fabrics that won't get you sweating like you're roasted. This will include cotton, linen, and less synthetic fabrics.
• Light shades of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow are preferable colors for your summer dress collection. White too is a comfy pick. Bright colors can be livening too if that's your vibe
