Thank the fashion gods for cotton [1], because wearing it is the only way we survive Summer. Frankly, there's nothing worse than sweating through thick, heavy materials in the depths of June, July, and August. We love a great cotton dress because it's lightweight and airy. Plus, if you're headed on a holiday [2] or trip, the fabric is easy to fold and pack up.
If you don't want to break the bank on a new dress, our editors curated a selection of our favourite cotton designs under $100. These reliable pieces will be your Summer uniform, no doubt. Shop our favourites now.
