Sleeves, Please—28 Summer Dresses We Can't Wait to Wear
Jasmine Fox-Suliaman
It's no secret that summer dresses are a dime a dozen—we've covered everything from the fresh trends you need to know about to the ideal throw-on style for everyday wear. While there are endless options you can choose from, if sleeves are your thing, choosing the right dress for the season is not always that simple. Dresses that still feel light and summer-ready are actually not the easiest to find, much less ones with sleeves. So naturally, trying to find warm-weather dresses with sleeves can feel impossible.
Luckily, for you, we did the work for you by scouring the web and rounding up the best summer dresses with sleeves to buy now based on price point, quality, and popular silhouettes. Whether you're into minis, midis, maxis, cap sleeves, long sleeves, or all of the above, we've got at least one dress (or probably multiple) for you. Trust us—you'll wear these pretty pieces every day for the rest of the season.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
