These 34 Romantic Dresses Are So Chic for Summer and Beyond
Elegance has been the fashion word of the year thus far, with designers across the board leaning into sophisticated design details like A-line skirts, drop waists, and hourglass shapes. I've noticed designers have put a particularly romantic spin on their summer dresses—from delicate embroidery to tiered silhouettes to sophisticated draping and classic necklines, this summer's dresses are full of whimsical details.
As I've been browsing my favorite brands and retailers in search of summer dresses to add to my own closet (there's still plenty of balmy weather ahead!), I've been overwhelmed with too many gorgeous options that I just had to share here. Each one is the perfect mix of sophistication and wearability. After all, it's still so humid, and I want to look put-together while feeling comfortable in the heat. Whether you're headed away on a late-summer vacation or simply refreshing your wardrobe before the end of the season, I think the options below are well worth considering. Here are the 34 best romantic dresses for summer, in my opinion.
