Even if you're not dressing for anything in particular, we firmly believe in the power of a great dress to change our mood — and this summer's biggest dress trends give us plenty to choose from. With attention on romantic details, vintage silhouettes, and, maybe most importantly, ease, these trends are super stylish and exactly what we want to be wearing right now — because what's easier than throwing on a dress you love for a quick errand, a walk, or even while lounging around the house? No, they're not sweatpants, but that's exactly what we love about them. Plus, you can rest assured these pieces will serve you well layered up and reworn again and again, and long after this summer. Read on for the trends and the dresses we've handpicked to shop.
