I Love Saying Yes to a Good Minidress—31 I'm Adding to My Cart as We Speak

There's no season quite like minidress season, and thankfully, it's reaching its peak. As late summer approaches and temperatures reach their highest, the only thing that feels right is buying an adorable minidress to keep you looking (and feeling) impeccably cool. From linen-blend shift dresses to sparkly event minis, there's usually a dress for everyone.
While I tend to limit my options to simple white dresses, I've been leaning out of my comfort zone as colorful silk halters and sequined numbers pop up on my social media pages. If you want to add a cute minidress to your collection, scroll to see 31 of my favorites below.
If you're aiming to get Lori Harvey's cool girl–approved mini, without further ado, this Jacquemus number.
This Copenhagen-based brand has the most gorgeous lacy slip dresses—this mini included.
Don't get it twisted: Butter yellow is still going strong as thee color to wear this summer.
This simple black mini is perfect for any occasion, from the office to post-work happy hours.
Reformation's extended sizes always come in clutch, especially when it comes to the summer dress selection.
The sharp, square neckline on this dress makes it look 10 times more expensive.
This Swedish brand makes some of my favorite printed minidresses, hands down.
