Temperatures are (finally) beginning to warm up, which means it's prime time to stock up on our favorite summer dress style, the sleeveless midi dress. In our expert opinion, there's a lot to love about this easy-to-wear silhouette. We're big fans of any clothing we can effortlessly throw on to look instantly put-together, and we also think that midi dresses—which fall anywhere from two inches below the knee to just above the ankles—are the ideal length. There's no tripping over a too-long maxi here, and there's much less of a chance of a wardrobe malfunction. (We're looking at you, too-short minidresses.) Not to mention, midi dresses are incredibly versatile, as most styles can easily be dressed up or down depending on your choice of accessories.
Ahead, we rounded up 26 of the chicest sleeveless midi dresses to shop ahead of summer for every budget. From silky slips to breezy cotton sundresses, keep scrolling to check out our favorites from brands such as Reformation, Réalisation, and more.
