I couldn't let you get one step closer to Memorial Day weekend without a roundup of summer's best dress brands and dresses, could I?! I've got the frock for you, whether you're looking to splurge or save; go floral, colorful, or neutral; find something short or long, casual or dressy. I mean it. Save yourself the endless scroll because this shopping expert has done the work for you. After all, it is my 11th—perhaps 12th?—year here at Who What Wear, and if there's one thing I know, it's what brands excel in what categories. Plus, thanks to my weekly new-arrival sleuthing, I'm constantly exposed to what's out on the market, so you can guarantee I've found you the best of the best. To shop the coolest, prettiest, chicest, and "everything else good"–est summer dresses for the season ahead, simply keep scrolling.
Reformation
The fact that its dress section can be filtered down to over 10 different subsections—including linen, vacation, floral, and more—says it all.
SIR
You know it's good when all our favorite sites, including but not limited to Net-a-Porter, Shopbop, Mytheresa, and Revolve, are backing it.
Dissh
Dissh is a favorite for it lightweight, summer-ready fabrics and flattering silhouettes as well as that effortless "Australian cool girl" aesthetic it does so well.
Dôen
In case you're not already familiar with Dôen, the brand is known for its perfect dresses and is synonymous with all things pretty, nostalgic, and romantic.
Helsa
Not all celebrity/influencer brands are created equal, and I have to say Helsa truly is a cut above the rest.
St. Agni
For that low-key, minimalist, IYKYK vibe, look no further than St. Agni's fuss-free yet perfectly tailored frocks.
Zara
You know Zara will be there for us in this category (and most others) year after year and, fingers crossed, until the end of time!
Siedrés
If your goal is to be the coolest and least-basic person in the room, allow me to introduce you to Siedrés.
