A white dress has always been and always will be the unofficial summer uniform. Simply add a pair of easy sandals and a chic accessory, and you're dressed for virtually any occasion. However, finding the one that's right for you is easier said than done. The key is choosing one you can throw on with little to no effort, feel comfortable wearing, and easily dress up or down.

There are plenty of white dress styles that will keep you looking altogether on-trend this season. On the runways, we saw white dresses dominate—ranging from diaphanous and sheer to embroidered and densely worked. After spending the afternoon scrolling through all our favorite brands and retailers, I wanted to share 35 of my favorite white dresses to be seen in this summer. Whether you're looking for simple and classic silhouettes or trend-forward styles, there's something for every taste and every budget.
