Maxi dresses are the secret to every stylish summer wardrobe. With their breezy romantic shape, they're an item you'll never want to take off—and thanks to their versatility, you may not need to. The dresses below are perfect for everything your calendar has lined up this season, from outdoor weddings to long walks on the beach and, of course, any morning commute (each works well with a T-shirt or starchy blouse underneath if you feel like you want extra coverage).

But no matter how you style it, a maxi dress always comes up big:

Mara Hoffman + NET SUSTAIN Luna Belted Crinkled Organic Cotton-Gauze Maxi Dress

From eco-friendly designer Mara Hoffman, this is a feel-good dress in more ways than one. Cut in a bright white cotton gauze, it's as refreshing as a summer's breeze—and pairs perfectly with the overall airiness from the lightly ballooned sleeves and loose skirt. The plunging neckline gives it a romantic twist, and the fabric comes pre-wrinkled—being crisply-pressed isn't always the goal. If you feel as laid-back as this dress, you'll be wearing it on your next vacation.

Faithfull Arietta Maxi Dress

This maxi dress is an obvious choice for the season, patterned in summery stripes and colored in flattering (and trendy) desert tones. It's modern and bohemian, thanks to the button-down front and tassel ties; in other words, it's hard not to imagine wearing this dress on cobbled streets or rocky beaches. The lightweight fabric will keep you cool wherever you decide to wear it, and it would look extra charming under a jean jacket on nights when you're feeling a little too cool. Keep the jewelry and the shoes minimalist for a clean look.

Ninety Percent + NET SUSTAIN Open-Back Tencel Maxi Dress

Everyone loves a little black dress, but how about a BBD—a big black dress. Perfect for a range of occasions, it's always flattering and fashionable, and this maxi dress has some other virtues: Cut from Tencel, it's super-soft, breathable, wrinkle-resistant and sustainable. The loose shape is perfect for a relaxed day, though you can definitely dress it up, thanks to the side slits and open back. Think of this dress as a blank canvas, the foundation of your next fashion experiments—so break out your trendiest jewelry, your tiniest sunglasses and your best sneakers.

The seaming and tie waist promise a flattering fit, so you'll look as good as you'll feel in it. As far as accessories go, bring out the dark blue in the pattern with some navy shoes and sunglasses.

Les Reveries Ruffle Floral-Print Picnic Long Slip Dress

This maxi dress will make you want to move—big time. With a sky-high slit and skinny spaghetti straps adding some flirtiness to the look, it's destined for hot days and even hotter nights. The zesty print is a right match to pair with a crisp white T-shirt , while the seaming on the chest and down the front is a demonstration of craftsmanship and a promise that the dress will fit you in all the right places. The brand is known for its spirit of "love and daydreams," which is exactly what you'll be ready for in this dress—that and some dance-floor twirls.

Rhode Delilah Fringe-Trimmed Cotton Dress

With poppy colors and prints of butterflies, vines and florals, this is an elegant gown destined for warm afternoons and sultry evenings. The pattern makes it easy to believe that it was inspired by the motifs of vintage French fabric, and the shape emphasizes that, with gentle shirring on the sleeves and a flowing, ruffled hem. This is the perfect look for a garden party—slide into some barely-there heels for an effortless outfit that'll have you feeling as cool as a chilled glass of wine.

The Best Summer Polka Dot Dresses of 2019 - TeenVogue.com

In fashion, trends come and go (and come back again), often quite quickly. And some can be pretty shocking or outlandish, too. For example, remember when platform Crocs came strutting down the runway at Paris Fashion Week two years ago? Well, now we're seeing the plastic silhouette everywhere and even considering buying the tie dyed ones ourselves.

How does a trend happen? Usually, garments that seem to pop up in every corner of the internet (and the real world) once somebody points them out. However, Fren Serto wrote for Highsnobiety. that, "As consumers grow hungrier for new product, and what's happening on the street and online are taking the influence away from what's on the runway, the idea of what constitutes a "trend" has shifted. It's no longer about a singular look, but distilling lifestyles and mindsets into marketable concepts."

Remember the Instagram account tracking all of the leopard print midi skirts around New York City? Well, the latest trend on the internets a polka dot dress from Zara. Say hello to @hot4thespot, a user submitted Instagram documented by spotters (pun intended) that see the polka dot dress that's taking over this summer. Just like leopard print, polka dots are basically a neutral now. And the long-sleeved, the midi-length silhouette from Zara is the perfect balance between trendy and staple. So, we can see why it appeals to the masses. You can dress it up for an event with the right pair of heels or with the right pair of summer sandals or kicks. Some have even styled it with another summer trend that Kylie Jenner and bloggers love, the oversized straw hat.

Sadly, the $50 dress is no longer available on Zara. But if you still want to snag a polka dot dress that will be fit for any summer occasion (and beyond) we suggest you keep scrolling to partake with the options we've rounded up below. You won't get snapped for an Instagram, but you'll still look cute! Win-win.

24 Dresses You Can Wear to Work, Starting at $35 - Who What Wear

Posted: 19 Jul 2019 09:10 PM PDT

That's a lie. I did wear a dress to work once recently, during my I Tried It Week challenge, but it was so unusual and unfamiliar to me, that it actually was what drew my attention to the fact that I never really do it otherwise. I wish I had a reason for you, but I don't even know why I don't wear dresses to work. Perhaps it's because I'm so comfortable in jeans (even in the summer) that I don't really feel the need, or maybe it's because I don't have the right ones. Whatever the reason, my one dress-to-work experience this year really made me feel like I should be doing it more often, hence today's roundup. From $35 to $300 and up, I found 24 dresses that I'd totally ditch my daily denim look for. To see what made the cut and, of course, do some shopping along the way, just keep scrolling.
