As a fashion editor, I spend hours scrolling through the best online retail hot spots every week, and I've seen so many beautiful casual dresses land as new arrivals on these websites. These pieces are perfect for a range of occasions that don't require an elevated, formal dress code. An array of styles has caught my eye lately, so I thought I'd clue you in on far-from-boring, stylish frocks I've been seeing this season.
I've curated a selection of gorgeous styles perfect for life's day-to-day activities. You can expect to shop styles with voluminous skirts, lovely ruching, cute necklines, and more. This one-and-done style is a favorite among fashion people, especially over the summer, so I've included a range of lengths to satisfy mini-dress, midi-dress, and maxi-dress lovers alike. Keep scrolling to uncover pretty casual dresses ahead.
