Summer Dresses 2026: The Vacation Edit

Sun’s out, holiday mode ON. Our Summer Dresses 2026 edit is made for Euro summer daydreams, beach club brunches and golden hour selfies with the girls. Think fun minis, floaty maxis and those “where is your dress from?!” moments.
From trending white dresses, butter tones, bold reds, soft pinks and classic black-for-night moments. We’re loving textured fabrics (hello crochet and ribbed knits), breezy linen blends, satin slips and romantic florals that feel Bridgeton ready.
Plus, enjoy Free Shipping on orders over $100, Fast 48-Hour US Delivery via DHL, easy returns and Afterpay at checkout. Available in inclusive US sizes 2–18.
Your suitcase just found its favourites.
 
What Are Summer Dresses?
Summer dresses are your throw-on-and-go heroes. Lightweight, breathable and made to move with you, they’re perfect for hot days, long lunches and nights that turn into mornings.
From white mini dresses for birthdays and celebration moments to floaty slip maxis for beach and vacays, these are the pieces you’ll reach for on repeat.
Easy. Effortless. Always cute.
 

The 2026 Vibe: What We’re Loving

This year, it’s less basic florals and more dreamy, floaty silhouettes with a little extra something.
The must-have shapes:
  • Drop-waist midis
  • Halter neck maxis
  • Asymmetrical wraps
  • Backless minis
  • Tiered sundresses
  • Corset-detail slips
The fabrics:
  • Linen-look blends
  • Sheer chiffon
  • Cotton poplin
  • Crochet
  • Soft satin finishes
The colour palette is basically sunshine in dress form, think Butter Yellow, Cherry Red, Capri Blue, Optic White and Earthy Moss.

Made to Look Good IRL and On Your Feed

We know the assignment. These dresses are designed to move, catch the light and look unreal in your camera roll.
  • Light layering that glows in the sun
  • Flowy skirts made for twirling videos
  • Matte + subtle sheen combos that pop at golden hour
Vacation photo moments = secured.

The Fit That Feels As Good As It Looks

No summer fit stress here. We’ve thought of everything.
  • Clear US 0–18 sizing so you know exactly what you’re getting
  • Detailed product info and fit details on every page, so you know exactly how it will fit and feel before you buy
  • Adjustable straps and back details for that just-right fit

What Makes a High-Quality Summer Dress?

It’s all in the fabric and finish. The best summer dresses are breathable but not sheer, structured but still comfy. Ours are designed to keep you cool, confident and covered even in peak heat.
Think quality linings, secure straps and soft-touch fabrics that don’t cling or itch. No see-through surprises. No stiff, scratchy vibes.
