Shift Dress

While body-con dresses are notoriously hard to pull off, this one is a little different. The Leith Ruched Body-Con Tank Dress ($56) features gentle ruching at one side — which makes it more flattering than a piece that hugs every inch. You can pick up this tulip-hem tank dress in a range of fun summer colors, such as Purple Petal and Teal Seagate.

Floral Print Occasion Dress

No summer wardrobe is complete without at least one floral occasion dress. This bright and summery piece is the perfect option. The AQUA Strappy Floral Print Dress ($30) has a high round neck, cut-in shoulders, seamed waist, and crisscross strappy back. The fit-and-flare silhouette with allover floral print looks elegant with just a pair of strappy heels.

Fit and Flare Dress

Stylish as is or with a pair of leggings, the Express Silky Soft Fit and Flare Dress ($60) is a lovely neutral for your collection. The olive green dress is simple, but not boring — with lace detailing and flared bottom. Just a few accessories like a necklace, handbag, and scarf is all that’s needed to turn this piece into an ensemble.

Dressing for a new season of social events doesn’t have to break your budget. No matter your go-to style, you can find a range of stylish occasion dresses you’ll love showing off this summer.
