Girly, classic, minimalist and more — double your summer dress options by taking advantage of Memorial Day savings. (Amazon, Anthropologie, Old Navy)
Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, which means summer has finally arrived. Hello, beach days, patio dinners and yes — a wardrobe refresh. (What can I say? I love to shop!) The best part? The Memorial Day sales were pretty epic this year, but if you were too busy enjoying the holiday weekend to partake in some shopping, don't fret! As your resident fashion expert, I've been keeping tabs on all the sales still happening. I've found major markdowns still going strong on everything from Lululemon athleisure to designer items and comfortable shoes, but some of the best extended deals I've seen are on summer-ready dresses.
As much as I love curating head-to-toe cute looks, when the heat kicks in, you'll often find me reaching for a breezy dress and calling it a day. I’m on the hunt for some new options to add to my rotation, so I’ve scoured the internet and waded through a treasure trove of over 20,000 dress deals. I'm all too happy to share my top 10 stylish picks still on sale post-Memorial Day, from a sleek shirtdress to a flowy sundress and simple-yet-chic styles that scream 'rich mom' and beyond. Just remember: Certain sizes and colors are already flying off the virtual shelves, and there's no telling how long these deals will last, so grab your favorites while they're still available!
This go-anywhere piece has a breezy design to keep you cool and comfy on sweltering days. It would look absurdly cute with a denim jacket, and check out its side slits, cap sleeves and pockets. Amazon reviewers say this maxi is well-made and flattering.
I'm all about dresses like this, especially for summer travel. They're easy to move around in, allow ample airflow and feel like you're in your favorite oversized T-shirt. Available in 13 styles, both solids and prints, in sizes small through XXL.
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.
Cute, comfy and oozing femininity, this gingham top-seller has smocking at the bust to create a distinct, flattering shape and adorable flirty ruffles around the neckline. The A-line silhouette creates a subtle hourglass look.
I'm fond of this neutral, but there are seven other colors in sizes XS-XXL. The red would be adorable at a barbecue — we'll dub it tablecloth chic, and we mean that in the best possible way.
Sophisticated and feminine, this gem is flattering for many body types. I adore the sweet ribbon bow at the neckline and the shirred, stretchy bodice that's comfy enough for all-day wear. With sizes ranging from small to XXL, it should be easy to find your ideal fit.
And if you love a print, this is the option for you. This lovely comes in 30+ gorgeous and colorful styles ranging from pretty florals to classic polka dots.
The A-line style is another fashion hero, accentuating the waist in an elegant, relaxed way. Here, pretty flutter sleeves complement a smocked waist and airy tiered skirt for top-tier flowiness that hides tummy or hip concerns. This pretty light green style is down to $35 and there are 17 other colors also on sale at varying prices.
A maxi is a great choice when you're looking for an easy, effortless outfit that combines comfort and style. This option is incredibly soft, to the point that several shoppers say it feels like wearing pajamas. And there are pockets — never expected in a dress, but always appreciated — so you can stash a few small essentials while you run errands or slip your phone into one instead of digging around in your purse. There are 49 styles to choose from and certain options are on sale for as little as $17.
This ruched dress feels like a sweatshirt, but its sophisticated details make it look elevated. From the flattering (and concealing) ruching at the sides to the slit and cowl-neck, this dress is a throw-on-and-go style you'll wear again and again.
While I love this spring green shade, you can also nab this dress in a pretty pink. Wear it with sneakers or heels — you won't regret bringing home this design while it's $100 off.
I love the square neck on this swingy frock, and the fact that it has pockets seals the deal for me. The bodice is smocked, so it's easy to pull on and off (no dress is worth a pulled muscle!), and even those on the shorter size report that the length works swimmingly with flip-flops.
Even better? It's machine-washable, and its billowy, tiered skirt delivers volume that will make the less dizzy among us want to twirl nonstop.
Wearing a shirt dress is one of the easiest ways to look "put together" with little to no effort — just slip on pretty much any shoe and you're set for the day. I love this style because of the button-cuffed sleeves and tie-wrap at the waist that helps show off your figure.
Into the "rich mom" trend? This classic fit-and-flare shirtdress exudes that "quiet luxury" vibe, and you don't need to overdo the accessories to make it look expensive. Available in nearly 20 shades in sizes 4-24 plus, note that sale prices vary slightly by color and size.
This classic style is the ultimate throw-on-and-go number (a must in every closet). And certain colors and sizes are just $15! Made of a breezy and relaxed jersey fabric that's ideal for toasty summer days, this T-shirt dress is incredibly soft and drapes effortlessly over your body.
