16 Best Summer Dresses From Amazon That Are Beyond Chic (and Affordable)

A go-to summer dress that will always come in clutch for most occasions (brunches, bridal showers, Hinge dates, etc.) is always clutch—not to mention, one that's breezy and comfortable during exceptionally hot days. You can count on this one to have your back! From its subtle high-low design to its dainty front buttons, this midi with adjustable straps is about to become your favorite this season. Dress it up with platform heels or keep it casual with low-profile sneakers.

Glowing customer review: "It's flowy, cute, lightweight, but NOT see-through! I am pretty short, but this dress hit well in all the right spots. The chest had room for the girls, and I felt so cute and comfortable! The material is durable and it has high-quality stitching. I bought it in two colors and got a ton of compliments. Paired it with a loose button-up top instead of a sweater and it was purrfect for a night out to a casual dinner."

Believe me, I also can't believe this is from Amazon! This trendy knit bodycon dress with a ruffled-trim skirt will have everyone around you asking where you got it from. It makes for a gorgeous beachside look if you're headed on a tropical vacay! Style it with a straw bag, shiny gold/silver earrings, and a slick back bun or pony for that fresh-off-the-shore vibe.

Glowing customer review: "This dress fits perfectly and it's very flattering. I could see someone wanting to order a size up in hopes of getting a little more length (if you have longer legs), but I love it as is. It's true to size. The green color is vibrant and so gorgeous."

You’re gonna need a pretty dress for all the summer events you have down the line! Perfect for a bridal shower, outdoor party, or brunch, you’ll be pulling out this floral maxi over and over again (we won’t judge, promise).

Glowing customer review: “It’s very cute. The dress is interesting for sure, but I am happy overall. There is a lining slip for the bottom so no one will see through it. Super lightweight and feels nice against the skin. I can’t wait to add sandals to this and a sun hat. I would recommend.”

Be bold and opt for something with a fun print! How adorable is the cherry design on this one? The flirty graphic goes hand-in-hand with the sweetheart neckline and puff sleeves. It has a tie at the front of the dress so you can adjust the upper fit to your preference and a smocked back for comfy movement. We love as much support as we can get!

Glowing customer review: "I love this dress. It looks great on a curvy woman. The arm sleeves stay down instead of riding up to your shoulders like most dresses of this style. The fabric is soft, light, and airy. It's great for summer."

The combination of florals and a pop of color defines a summer dress. Wear this dreamy halter number casually with some sandals or dressed up with a pair of strappy heels. Accessories like hoop earrings, a floppy hat, or a rattan bag will add to the fresh look.

Glowing customer review: “I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this dress! The fabric feels so nice. It’s thick, soft, and stretchy. It feels very luxe! The pattern is super cute and the colors are vibrant. The size is generous and very stretchy I almost wish I had sized down because it’s a little loose in the back, but I think it will work beautifully for my vacation. Glad I tried it!”

Let’s be real: We shop for summer dresses based on what’s going to look cute in the photos. It’s the truth! And this gorge green maxi is the definition of fabulous. Complete the look with a sleek bun and chunky gold jewelry and you’ll be looking more than camera-ready.

Glowing customer review: “I love, love, loved this dress on my vacation to Greece! It’s made of high-quality thick material but not so thick that it doesn’t breathe. I wore this out to dinner outside at a winery and was very comfortable the entire time. Worth the price point!”

Frankly, no summer wardrobe is complete without a billowing white dress. This knotted option, with numerous decorative buttons, is giving me major afternoon picnic vibes.

Glowing customer review: “I love this dress! Surpassed my expectations. It’s light, soft, and a cotton blend. The color is exactly as pictured and the size (XL) is just right! I am under 5'5", 190 lbs., with a bra size of 36DDD, and usually an XL in tops and 14 in jeans. This particular dress is one you knot yourself at the bust and that’s perfect because I was able to pull it tight enough that I can go without a bra (and hello...36DDD, that NEVER happens!) I feel cool, cute, and comfortable. Ordering another right now!!”

Yep, it’s quite literally an extra-long button-down shirt. It has a laidback vibe to it because of its loose fit. But the collar and crisp structure make it still chic and elevated. Bonus: It has two side pockets!

Glowing customer review: “I bought this dress to wear around the house in the summer on hot days. The fabric is light and somewhat see-through, but the stripes detract from what is underneath so I don’t wear a slip. I wanted something light and cool and I didn’t want it to stick to me. There’s room for lots of airflow. I bought a large and I like it for its roominess which adds to the comfort. I will wear this dress for years to come and it would also be perfect as a cover-up for the beach.”

IMO, a classic, strapless dress is a closet staple. Style tip: You can even throw on a tee or a sweatshirt over it to make it appear as a two-piece set. The versatility!!

Glowing customer review: “This dress definitely blew it out of the park with the material and its snug feel. I don’t buy many dresses off of Amazon but I did for this one and you won’t regret it!”

We can’t help but imagine that when Nick Jonas belts out “red dress” during Burning Up, he’s actually talking about us in this exact dress. Sorry, Priyanka!

Glowing customer review: “The Dress fit perfectly! It was adorable on! Very flowy and comfortable and the tie straps gave the dress more character!!! Loved it and would buy in more colors!”

It can be hard to find a fancy summer dress that’s not flowy or smocked. There are some warm-weather occasions that just don’t allow for that. And for those times, you can turn to this retro-inspired dress.

Glowing customer review: “The fabric is lovely and it feels really good on me.”

Your go-to little black dress, but summer edition. The puff sleeves and the square neckline make it a standout!

Glowing customer review: “This dress is so cute!! Got so many compliments and it’s great quality for the price. It can be worn off the shoulder too. Loved it!"

Fans of the oversize sleeve trend (and Bridgerton, TBH) are going to want to frolic around all summer long in this midi ensemble.

Glowing customer review: “I am so happy with my purchase! I received many compliments when wearing this dress and it makes sense because it’s lovely! It’s super comfortable too. It’s beautiful to wear out but also comfortable enough to wear around the house. It’s just as beautiful on the shoulder, though I prefer it off, but the great thing is that it stays put whichever way you should wear it. I highly recommend it!”

A timeless classic from our friends over at Amazon’s in-house brand The Drop, this V-neck slip dress is ideal for styling by itself in the heat of summer or layering under a sweater during the winter. And it’s got adjustable straps!

Glowing customer review: “I’ve been wanting a slip dress for a while, but the way my curves are set up it was not happening. This is perfect to dress up or down has some stretch to it. This is 10/10 big booty big hips approved.”

Your tropical vacation will be incomplete without this palm leaf-patterned gem. It's perfect as a day-to-night option if you need something that looks presentable for a dinner post-beach sesh.

Glowing customer review: “I loved this dress. It was thick, good quality, comfortable, and fits as expected. I’ve already worn it twice and will wear it much more this summer. Wrinkles come out really easily with a steamer.”

You and this breezy, sleeveless dress are about to be best friends this summer! From its flowy, tiered design to its versatile drawstrings, there’s no doubt it’ll quickly become your wardrobe favorite during the warm season. Tie the drawstrings for a more sophisticated look, or leave them untied and down for a laidback moment.

Glowing customer review: “I have loved this style of dress but can never find it in a size that fits me. I’m 5'8 and 210 pounds with an hourglass figure. When I saw that this was plus size I got so excited. I bought it in light blue and in navy and just really hoped that it would fit right. They both exceeded my expectations. It flows and lays perfectly, better than some expensive dresses I bought.”
