This cute, comfy maxi dress has it all: a flattering design, an alluring slit and handy pockets. Plus, its roomy fit won't cling to your body, allowing for some welcome airflow.
It has amassed more than 6,000 five-star fans who offer praise like this: "It did not have a wrinkle! It is soft and comfy. It breathes. It is perfect for the hot Houston weather. Can’t beat it for the price."
Designed for all-day comfort, this casual cutie has an A-line silhouette that fits loosely over the body and hits just above the knees. The best part? It has pockets! Choose from 32 colors and prints.
For only $36, why not get one, two or even three for your warm-weather wardrobe? This tiered maxi dress is light, soft and flowy, with a nice amount of stretch and thickness to prevent undergarments from showing through. The high waistline creates a flattering silhouette for a variety of shapes, and the tiered design adds a little visual flair.
This wear-anywhere wardrobe workhorse makes for a perfect summer pairing with sandals and a sun hat. And we love this look with a knotted bottom, to keep it clear from waves during long walks on the beach. Prices vary by color and print — 18 options are available — and all have pockets (we love pockets).
Looking for something a little more dressy that'll still help you keep your cool? Ideal for everything from brunches to baby showers, this swingy style is a little bit boho, which will make you feel effortlessly stylish even in a heat wave.
Over 7,700 Amazon reviewers have given this versatile dress a glowing five-star rating. Right now you can snag it in 39 (yes, 39) different colors and prints for $13 off.
At these prices, stock up on a few for yourself and to give as holiday gifts!
Ideal for throwing on over your bathing suit or wearing to Sunday brunch, this swishy number has a high front cut, spaghetti straps and a side slit for maximum airiness.
One shopper describes it as "flowy and soft, with room to hide the least favorite body areas without being a tent."
Prints, prints and more prints — 24 options in total, with an additional 10 solid choices in pastel and neutral hues. From bold geometrics to romantic florals, this splashy stunner hits on all the right notes for a stylish sunny-season wardrobe update. The fabric is soft, breathable and stretchy without being see-through.
This is the definition of comfy, casual and chic, with a flattering sheath design and a tie waist that creates definition in the midsection. Wear it to work, wear it to the beach, wear it in the backyard — the world is your stylish oyster.
Another option with pockets! Statement sleeves are all the rage this summer, so we're particularly enamored with the fluttery cap sleeves on this No. 1 bestseller, which are just right for keeping shoulders sheltered from the sun's rays. This dress is available in 28 different colors, including neutrals like black, white and khaki; pastels like mint and sky blue; and bold brights like peacock and rose.
The waistline is well-positioned to hide any belly bulges, while the shirred top makes for a slim silhouette. And reviewers praise the fabric for being nonclingy and breathable.
At these low prices, why not stock up while you can save over half off?
