With the days getting warmer and the deals getting bigger (hello, Prime Day), we can’t help but get into the summer — and shopping — spirit. As we look at our calendars stacked with barbecues, girls' nights out, vacations, and weddings, we’re both excited and overwhelmed by all the outfits we need to put together. Fortunately, Amazon (not-so-surprisingly) has a great selection of stylish swimsuits, comfy travel outfits, and even wedding guest dresses — making it easy to do all our shopping in one place.
Looking for a summer dress on Amazon can feel daunting thanks to the sheer number of options, so we did the hard work for you. We scoured the retailer’s luxury shops (like Saks and Shopbop), reader-favorite brands (like Good American and Show Me Your Mumu), and top-rated finds. The result? A curated roundup of the best sundresses, vacation styles, and wedding guest looks — plus plenty of minis and maxis — for every warm-weather occasion, from work happy hours to graduation parties.
