2023 Summer Dress Trends You Need to Know, Now

Bold Colors & Statement Prints

Summer is the season to go all out. Keep it unapologetically loud with a monochromatic grenadine pink look or sunny yellow maxi, and do (!) play up your prints. This striped midi is perfect for lunch or dinners at the beach — and we love the mod yet organic shapes on this colorful dress.

Unexpected Cut-Outs

They’re as practical as they are a style statement — the ultimate cool factor, if you will. At the top of our must-get list is this taupe cut-out maxi with an open front; it’s the dress you’ll want to wear every night out. 

If you love a print or prefer something more subdued, look for a dress with side cutouts like on this bodycon zebra midi. Turn around and your back is revealed — but no one would know until you leave the room.

Sweet Ruffles & Flowy Lengths

Think easy, breezy, boho. Ruffled details and long, flowy silhouettes are quintessential summer staples — making them as much a trend as they are a seasonal essential. Off to brunch? Wear this romantic floral maxi; it’s made for picnics in the park or sipping rosé in a garden. Planning to go to happy hour? The smocked cut-out detailing on the back of this blue dress will take you from drinks to dinner, no outfit change needed.

Pretty Puff Sleeves

Just as sweet: puffy silhouettes, ribbon details, and dresses that combine both. If you’re new to this look, stick to solid shades and try a tiered dress with puff shoulders or midi with cropped balloon sleeves — two timeless options you’re bound to wear well past this year. If you’re partial to patterns or are committed to the trend, dive into bolder silhouettes in unforgettable prints.
