Flattering Everyday Summer Dresses Under $300

Boy do we love the ease of a dress, and based on your feedback, you do too.

The combo of warmer temperatures and busy schedules makes simplifying your look a seasonal priority. Hence, the love affair with a one-and-done approach. The trick, as always, is weeding through the offerings (So. Many. Choices.) and finding what flatters.

We have a tip for you: a V-neckline.

A V-neck is a star for all body shapes and sizes—it visually elongates your frame (which slims), draws attention to your neckline (a universally flattering body part), and it’s sexy without being overtly so. Win-win-win!

We looked for picks that work as well at a casual event as they do running errands and found options in just-above-the-knee minis, midis, and maxi styles for your dressing preference. Pair these everyday, summer dresses with ballet flats, sandals, or not–too-chunky white sneakers, and swap out our regular bag for something in raffia, woven, or even a kicky canvas tote.

In other words, it’s time to lighten up!
