In true Gemini fashion, I don't always adhere to one specific style aesthetic. Sure, I generally lean toward classic dressing, but there's no question I have a dual-style personality. One moment I'm calling myself a bonafide jeans person, but the next moment, all I want to wear are dreamy and dainty dresses. Can anyone else relate?

I'm in my dress phase right now, which isn't all that surprising, considering warm temperatures are finally upon us. As a fashion editor, I constantly have my eye on what dress styles, trends, and brands the fashion crowd is wearing from season to season. Today I'm highlighting 10 brands that are hugely popular among our editors and the fashion set this summer (and that keep popping up on my Instagram).

Are you ready to find your next summer frock? Keep scrolling for the stylish brands you'll want to be seen wearing this summer, plus plenty of shopping picks to inspire your next dress purchase.
