You'll be wearing these all spring and summer! 👗

Getting dressed for the cold involves a lot of layering, but in the spring and summer you can often get away with just one key article of clothing: a cute summer or spring dress! And if it's an especially hot day, there's nothing better than one of the best sundresses. These pieces are known for being casual, comfy, and lightweight—the perfect choice for one-and-done dressing. To help you find your perfect sundress, we've rounded up more than a dozen cute options, including maxi, midi, and mini styles. Many of them feature feminine, trendy touches like tiered skirts and flirty bows, not to mention the holy grail of dress details: pockets! You'll also find plenty of of-the-moment smocked dresses to help you strut into spring and summer in style. And when it comes to patterns, whether you like florals, stripes, or solids, this list has got you covered.

Add one or two of these picks to your warm-weather wardrobe and you'll surely be wearing them all spring and summer long. You can even keep rocking them when the weather gets cooler—just add some tights and your favorite jean jacket and you'll be good to go!

Stand out this spring and summer in a brightly hued floral dress. The pink and orange color combination is so cheerful, but it also comes in a more subdued stripe pattern.

A slip dress will always take you from day to night with ease. This one is made from a lustrous but lived-in plainweave cotton and features the perfect dress trifecta of adjustable straps, a self-tie belt, and yes, even pockets!

Look at this stunner! It's inspired by handmade vintage prints and features lots of lovely details like a braided belt that cinches at the waist and dramatic puffed sleeves.

This standout has the cutest plaid design with floral details on the empire top and dotted throughout. The apron style with a bow at the back is so feminine and pretty.

No tan lines here! Have a stunning strapless moment in this pretty tiered maxi dress. We love the smocked bodice, tiered hem, and subtle ruffle trim at the top.

Smock about cute! This smocked waist dress has delicate spaghetti straps, a tie bow at the back, and a tiered bottom. But it's the gorgeous red and white floral print that seals the deal for us.

Polka dots just scream summer, don't they? This ivory and yellow dress is one you'll reach for again and again this season.

This strappy colorblock dress feels so celebratory! Dress it up with espadrille heels or down with thong sandals or white sneakers.

This is a customer favorite and it's easy to see why. A sleeveless silhouette, classic stripe pattern, and loose empire waist all add up to the perfect day dress. We love it paired with a brightly colored shoe, as seen here.
