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.
