While we’re headed towards the summer season where humidity levels will be on the rise for sure, throwing on a lightweight summer dress and calling it a day shall feel like the correct move. But what even constitutes a casual summer dress? And what are the best styles for dressing nonchalantly in this heat?

For this guide to the best casual summer dresses, we set a few criteria. One, the fabric of the dress has to be a breezy one, and the material needs to handle a bit of inevitable summer sweat. Two, the dress silhouette has to be a pull-on style with easy to carry cuts. Also, summer outfits should be colourful like the ones in this collection with minimal accessories that can elevate even basic dresses.

Of course, footwear also plays a huge role in your low-maintenance summer dress look. Pair any of these dresses with chunky flats, and you’ve got yourself a just-pulled-this-together vibe. Put your hair down with a fresh face of light makeup and you’re good to go!
