A Yahoo reader favorite, this top-selling maxi dress — up to 80% off in certain colors — doubles as a coverup for the beach or pool. Its flowy silhouette skims the body, so it's incredibly flattering. Choose from 15 colors.
Retinol is known for being one of the most effective ingredients for targeting wrinkles and sun damage, as well as giving the skin a more plumped-up appearance. That said, it can also cause dryness and irritation if you're new to it, which is why using it in moisturizer form is a smart idea. This rich cream was formulated for application on all skin types, and you're getting a large 16-ounce tub for this low price!
Designed for all-day comfort, the dress has an A-line silhouette that fits loosely over the body and hits just above the knees. The best part? It has pockets! Available in 34 colors and prints.
This dress is available in 30 different colors and sizes up to XXL.
Meet your year-round wardrobe workhorse. This flowy wear-anywhere dress 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 — 19 options are available ... and all have pockets (we love pockets).
Choose from 40 different colors and patterns in sizes up to 2XL — prices vary depending on your selection, but this floral number will get you the best discount (over half off!).
Ideal for throwing on over your bathing suit or wearing to Sunday brunch, this swishy sundress has a high front cut, spaghetti straps and a side slit for maximum airiness.
This springy stunner is perfect for anyone who wants to incorporate some whimsical retro style into their sunny-season wardrobe. The fabric is soft, breathable and stretchy without being see-through. Choose from 34 colors and prints.
This cutie 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! And this one is 50% off. Statement sleeves are all the rage this summer, so we're particularly enamored with these fluttery cap sleeves, 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 green 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 slimming silhouette. And reviewers praise the fabric for being non-clinging and very breathable.
