With the warmer weather upon us, dresses are at the forefront of my mind and the top of my shopping cart. After all, no other fashion item will make you look as put-together in an instant with as little effort as possible.
Below, I'm sharing some of my absolute favorite styles I found after spending an entire afternoon perusing the frocks at trusty retailer Nordstrom, from classic silhouettes to pretty prints and summer 2024's must-have trends (e.g., sheer styles, minimalist '90s-inspired silhouettes, and shift minis). Whether you're looking for a breezy white frock to wear on vacation or an office-ready dress, there's something for every taste and budget.
