The Best Dresses for Women: Shop Vogue’s Top Picks for Spring 2023

Summer's arrival brings a slew of some of the best dress trends to test out. No other season makes a bigger case for the one-and-done styling of a dress. Plus, the current offerings are plentiful with pieces we cannot wait to test drive—on summer nights out, while on vacation, and even at the office. There's never not a time to wear one of the best dresses this summer. Some trends to spotlight include this season's take on the floral frock–we’re eyeing Agua by Agua Bendita's Colombia-inspired florals and Caroline Constas's maxi dresses cut in a crisp cotton. The minimalist movement isn't going anywhere anytime soon, either–think sleek styles from Altuzarra, SIR that will help you achieve that understated luxury look. And should you be on the hunt for vacation-ready dresses, frocks from Johanna Ortiz and Alémais will transport you to the tropics regardless if you’re beach bound or not. Below, shop 80+ of the best dresses for the summer.
