Sleeves, Please—28 Summer Dresses We Can't Wait to Wear
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. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
