The best part about spring and summer? Next to taking much-needed vacations, we look forward to wearing dresses in rotation. Luckily, this season is rich with gorgeous styles in every length, color and design, with buttoned numbers and vintage-inspired silhouettes being the most coveted. To help you score a dress you’ll want to wear all the time, shop our picks ahead that include minis, midis and maxis for every style and budget.

Bold, directional stripes in a bright orange shade are a modern take on the classic style.
No summer wardrobe is complete without a French-girl frock. Leave it to Rouje—created by eternal Gallic girl crush Jeanne Damas—for effortless, feminine dresses you'd witness on Parisians.
