Summer is here, and not going to lie, my brain is completely fixated on what to wear for balmy days. I know I'm not alone here since nearly all of my go-to retailers are dropping new summer pieces already. And since sharing is simply what I do, I'm already all over the best buys and am ready to deliver my top picks to you. Revolve, Shopbop, and Nordstrom are often the first tabs I open no matter what I'm shopping for, but today I focused my attention on their summer dresses, in particular.
From little beach coverups to dresses stunning enough to wear to a wedding and plenty of easy and casual options, I went through thousands of options and pulled the best 42 summer dresses from these top three sites. Consider the legwork already done for you and sit back, relax, and start manifesting your summer wardrobe into existence, starting with these pretty frocks.
Shopbop
