This is the time of year when so many gatherings and special events take place. Starting with Mother’s Day through Labor Day and all of the graduation parties, wedding showers, brunches, vacations and backyard BBQ’s in between. One of the easiest ways to casually “dress up” is with an actual dress. All you have to do is slip it on and then accessorize! If you’re on the hunt for dresses you can wear sandals with or maybe even dress up with a wedge or block heel, you’re in luck. Today I’m rounding up 20+ Casual Dresses for Summer.
20+ CASUAL DRESSES FOR SUMMER
When in doubt, throw on a dress! It’s easy, breezy and you don’t have to worry about coordinating your top and bottom. Plus you can always grab a denim jacket or cardigan to layer on top for cool days or nights.
My favorite recent maxi dress find is none other than this Amazon find! I shared it in the April Amazon Haul, but really wanted to share it again now that we’re inching towards the Summer season! Its the perfect vacation dress or the stroll around downtown shopping after brunch dress.
The pattern is bold and colorful and the smocked detail on top is not only flattering, but the smocked section is actually leopard print!!
SHOP THE LOOK
I’m wearing a size small and am 5’4″ for reference, so I would say it runs tts. If you are taller or want some extra width along the skirt, you could size up one. The dress hits a couple of inches above my ankles [which I love – there is nothing worse than tripping over the bottom of your dress. Can you relate?!]
The nice part about the smocking is that is forms to your size and shape making for the perfect fit up top!
MAXI DRESS // STRAW BAG // BELT // SANDALS // SUNGLASSES
I’ve rounded up a ton of casual Summer dresses you can start wearing now! They’re great for the weekend or a mid-week lunch or spontaneous date night! This one is a colorful patterned dress, but I also found some solid colors and softer, smaller prints, too.

I’m still working on my special occasion dresses post for you guys, but I had to reschedule my photoshoot. Don’t worry – I’ll still be able to share favorite dresses to wear to Summer weddings and events before Summer is in full swing. Until then, here are a few outfit inspo boards I put together if you’re on the hunt now!
