I don't know about you but I'm already starting to think about summer—summer dresses in particular. A great one-and-done dress requires minimal thought and will simplify your summer dressing—which is exactly what we need during the sweltering warm-weather months. Not only that, a chic dress has the power to transform your mood in an instant, and can set the tone for the day, which is why I've been on a mission to find some of the chicest styles to carry me through the season.

Luckily, the new summer dresses are already rolling in at our favorite brands and retailers, and I've been quick to pick up on some of the fresh styles I predict will sell out before summer is even here! Included in my edit, are dress brands we know and love, think Dôen, Posse, Rixo, SIR., Faithful the Brand, along with some affordable new favorites from Zara and H&M. You'll also find plenty of silhouettes and details that touch on some of this season's biggest dress trends—delicate lace details, punchy color trends, playful fringe, and of-the-moment polka-dot prints.

If you're looking for a chic new dress this warm-weather season then keep scrolling to get your hands on these chic new finds (before they sell out!).
