When it comes to warm-weather dressing, linen dresses are the MVP. Lightweight, breathable, and built for heatwaves, linen does what other fabrics can’t — it keeps you cool without clinging. Sure, it wrinkles. But that’s part of the charm.
This year’s standouts? Drop-waists with a hint of romance, floaty maxis ready for your next vacation look or festival outfit, and refined cuts that double as the ultimate wedding guest dress. Color-wise, the lineup runs from grounded neutrals and earthy solids to more playful picks like gingham and trending butter yellow — all highly closet-worthy.
Ahead, 21 summer-ready picks — from crisp and structured to soft and flowy — in every length from minis to midis to maxis, all waiting to be paired with your go-to summer sandals.
