5 Favorite Summer Dresses
I love summer for the weather, the fresh produce, and the simplicity of getting dressed. There is nothing better than being able to throw on a dress and a pair of sandals to run to dinner or meet a friend. I am based in Chicago when I am not traveling, and we are in some style of coat most of the year. We have a few easy and warm months to run around in dresses. These are my five favorite summer dresses, and I have been wearing them on repeat this year.

Pippa Short Dress
This Sézane Pippa dress comes in multiple colors. The dress style is a staple that is brought back year after year for a good reason. Pippa runs in a short and long version. I prefer the short version and find myself throwing it on often.
Think of it as a t-shirt dress with a tie on the side. The tie is a fun style detail that elevates the dress style and it is flattering on.
This is the $25 Target version and has been a reader favorite. Either way, I recommend adding this style to your summer dress closet.

J.Crew Sweetheart Dress $98
This J.Crew Sweetheart dress instantly caught my eye. It comes in a cream and black. I ordered the small and it fits true to size. The dress washes and wears well and is perfect for a hot summer day. I am 5’6″ and the length is great. If you are petite, this dress may not be best for you.

Boden Blue Shirt Dress
This Boden Blue Shirt Dress is perfection. I found this earlier on before the warm weather hit and I couldn’t wait to wear it. The style fits me well with the belt and I love the color. This quickly sold out after I shared it. There are a few other colors and styles still available on the Boden site in pink. I hope they bring back a version of this for fall.

Frank and Eileen Mary Dress
The Frank and Eileen Mary dress fits a little oversized. I typically order a size small. It is a great dress for running errands, road trips, and makes a great cover up at the beach or pool. I packed two of these in black and white for our trip to Italy. I own the dress in the denim but it also comes in linen and so many great color options.

Dorotha Red Dress
The color red has become my signature over the years. I love a red dress no matter what the season. This Dorotha dress has adorable ties at the shoulders and has a flattering fit that hits mid calf. It also comes in black and cream if red isn’t your color.
I paired my dress with espadrilles to finish off the look.
