Everyone has that one piece of clothing they're guilty of buying one too many of. Maybe it's jeans? (Guilty.) Or white T-shirts? (Double guilty.) Maybe you have a thing for white dresses? (Well, three's a guilt-ridden charm!) Undeniably, my penchant for white dresses exceeds all my other fashion obsessions now that the air is balmy, the sun is in fine form, and summer has officially arrived. Nothing says summer quite like a breezy and beautiful light frock. For the beach, for vacation, for the weekend, and for work, a white dress can solve any dressing dilemma, and it's all I want to live in this summer.
Luckily, there are plenty of chic styles I've been eyeing this season—from trending fit-and-flare styles to romantic lace and effortlessly elegant linen. Below, I'm sharing all my favorite white dresses from Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Zara that have my complete attention this summer. Keep scrolling below to shop them for yourself.
