My Favorite Summer Dress Trends

 Happy Memorial Day to everyone enjoying the long holiday weekend, and cheers to the unofficial start to summer! Summer is a wonderful time to be in Seattle, with plenty of things to see and do including beer, food, music, and wine festivals, farmers markets, outdoor concerts and movies, parades, and more. It feels amazing to see so many events rescheduled after a two year hiatus, and there is already so much good energy in the city as the sun and warm weather has started to become more consistent. The longer hours of sunshine and warmer temperatures also mean it is summer dress season and a perfect time to share my favorite dress trends. Today I am sharing my top three summer dress trends, although I will admit it was very difficult to choose favorites because I have so many gorgeous dresses in my closet that I love. I am very much looking forward to wearing these dresses and more to a variety of summer celebrations and events! Please continue reading to see my top three dress trends this year along with outfit links and more beautiful picks for each of the three dress styles to inspire your own summer looks.

My first summer dress style pick is a fitted knit midi dress. This style of dress is figure hugging, extremely flattering, and versatile for a number of summer occasions. I would be remiss if I did not mention that it is also extremely comfortable. I think this type of dress could be perfect for a date night, a cocktail or semi-formal summer wedding, and more. You could easily add a jacket or wrap for the evening as well. There are more gorgeous knit dresses for your consideration below:

My second summer dress style pick is a puffed sleeve shirtdress. It is difficult to think of a summer occasion that a shirtdress does not work for, as a dress like this can be worn to the office, brunch, a birthday celebration, baby or bridal shower, and more. I am so sad that this particular dress sold out before I could link it, but I rounded up more pretty shirtdresses for your consideration below:

My third summer dress style pick is a tie-shoulder sundress in a pretty floral print. Now you've seen this dress styled with a denim jacket and espadrilles recently in this blog post, but you could not see the adorable shoulder straps with bows when I was wearing a jacket. Here I am sharing the dress on its own styled on a much warmer day. I think this style of dress can work well for a number of summer occasions including a date night, birthday celebration, baby or bridal shower, a casual wedding, and more. There are more beautiful summer sundresses for your consideration below:
