When it\u2019s sweltering out, the only thing more appealing than blasting the AC is slipping into an ultra-lightweight dress that barely skims the body. Whether it\u2019s a floaty cotton dress that breathes easily, a poplin midi with cut-outs for added airflow, or a linen maxi<\/a> made for getaways, these summer-ready silhouettes<\/a> are what we\u2019ll be living in from now through Labor Day.<\/p>\n

This edit includes the most breathable summer dresses<\/a> we could find \u2014 many with open backs, strategic slits, or draped shapes that won\u2019t cling, bunch, or stick to sweaty skin. We\u2019ve got all the trends covered, too: shift dresses that go from desk to drinks, tiered and flowy dresses made for triple-digit temps, picnic-ready gingham, bubble hems<\/a> that bring volume without weight, and standout hues like butter yellow<\/a> and tangerine<\/a>. Consider this your guide to surviving the heat in style \u2014 whether your summer plans include a sardine-girl<\/a> stroll through the city, a fisherman-coded<\/a> coastal escape, or a destination wedding<\/a> abroad (hello, European aesthetic<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Mini Dresses<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Short, swingy, and made to float away from the body, these minis are your best defense against summer\u2019s stickiest days. But heat-proof doesn\u2019t mean shapeless or void of detail \u2014 our favorites include ruched accents, exaggerated babydoll silhouettes, and not-overly-clingy smocking.<\/p>\n

Midi Dresses<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Midi lengths strike the perfect balance between ease and polish \u2014 ideal for office days, dinner plans, or anything in between. Refresh your assortment with of-the-moment silhouettes featuring halter necklines, milkmaid-esque puff sleeves<\/a>, and beautifully embroidered handkerchief designs.<\/p>\n

Maxi Dresses<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Maxis may offer the most coverage, but the best ones still feel easy, airy, and perfectly cool on hot days. Reach for a cut-out design or open back for date night, a cotton shirt dress for a day full of shopping and lunch, or a printed option<\/a> that feels just right for a summer wedding<\/a> or dinner outing.<\/p>\n
