There's something about summertime that makes me want to say forget it to complicated outfits and embrace a more streamlined, one-and-done kind of approach. This mindset makes me gravitate toward dresses with interesting details that do most of the heavy lifting for me and don't require a ton of extra accessorizing.
One scroll through Instagram will tell you I'm not the only one who feels this way. My feed has been completely overrun with unique dress outfits as of late. From whimsical floral prints to puff sleeves to romantic lace, the below pretty dress outfits have inspired me to add quite a few to my ever-growing collection. These are purchases I never end up regretting, though, because the ease of getting dressed in the summer is truly priceless. Keep scrolling to see and shop my 21 favorite summer dress outfits I've seen so far this season.
