Summer calls for effortless dressing, items that breathe, are no fuss and still make a chic statement. The one-and-done appeal of a dress checks every style box for warmer months, making them an attractive uniform for day to night, particularly when it’s hot and humid out.

Luckily, there is no dearth of stylish summer dresses that won’t break the bank. This season also sees a fun play on proportion, versatile wrap silhouettes, traditional sundress shapes and down-to-earth boho looks.

There is truly something for everyone, and most can be paired with sandals, sneakers or a heel, making them easy to wear to the office or throw in a suitcase to wear on vacation.

Bold and colorful graphic prints on a simple shift silhouette make it feel more modern and in line with today’s trend of neon brights and saturated hues. Nineties-inspired slip dresses in shades like mustard yellow and orange also feel very of the moment. And retro-style polka dots on a sweet pastel colored summer frock are timeless and have very much come back in style again.

Try any of these looks, all under $100, for creating a summer wardrobe of easy dresses that are versatile enough for work, vacation or an upcoming event.
