My Ideal Summer Night Is Dining Alfresco in These Pretty Dresses—See Them All

Just from the details alone, I'd never guess this dress would be under $100.

Loose and flowy—perfect for housing a food baby.

The soft ruffles are nostalgic without being too cheesy.

This is a best seller for good reason.

You can definitely wear this for more than dining out.

While the front is supremely elegant, the back features a subtly seductive cutout.

At 60% off, it's pretty obvious that this should immediately be added to your cart.

You can't go wrong with silk.

Linen is always a good idea in the summer.

Style this with colorful earrings and heels to play up the tropical print.

Sheer is everywhere these days, and if you're game to try the trend, here's a way to embrace it without going totally risqué.

I love the simple silhouette.

While wearing black undergarments is an obvious choice, another approach would be styling a bright swimsuit underneath.

A classic.

I feel like Reformation has another viral hit on its hands.

The Old Hollywood vibes are strong here.

Crinkled material means you don't have to worry about ironing or steaming.

Christy Dawn is an L.A. favorite.

I'm obsessed with this color.

Here is more evidence that an oversize button-down is the MVP of summer. This dress can be worn as a cover-up or worn with heels for a low-key dinner look.

Juicier than your morning OJ.

Everything about this dress is so easy.

Since everyone couldn't stop talking about that pink Zara dress, the retailer released a similar version in black.

The modern way to do polka dots.

This dress feels like destinationwear.

This dress should come with its own plate of cacio e pepe.

When comfort and cool are key, Sleeper's selection of effortless linen dresses is your best bet.

The patchwork just does something to me.

If I'm making a list, ACNE Studios will always be on it.
