I Spent Hours Searching for the Chicest Summer Minidresses—These 44 From Revolve, Zara, and Nordstrom Have My Full Attention
Summer is finally here, and with higher temps comes higher hemlines. Minidresses are in full swing, thanks to the plethora of styles we spotted on the S/S 2025 runways from designers such as Gucci, Sandy Liang, and Chanel. I, for one, can't wait to make room in my closet for some fun, shorter silhouettes this summer. With a whole host of chic styles to choose from, including simple and minimalist linen minis (Posse has some great ones) to chic lace-trimmed styles and vacation-ready crochet, you're sure to find something that reflects your vibe.
On the quest to add a minidress (or two) to my wardrobe, I bookmarked some specific styles that caught my attention from Revolve, Zara, and Nordstrom, which I'm excited to share with you today. They range from $50 to $350, and there's a little something for the minimalists and maximalists alike. Keep scrolling to see and shop my favorite trend-forward styles of the season.
