Can you actually believe that we’re in August?! I can’t either. But the good news is we still have a full month to rock all our favorite summer dresses. Whether you’re headed to the beach or an elegant event, there’s a dress for every occasion and I’m talking the four types of summer dresses that’ll get you through the rest of the season. Get into everything from the grand maxi to the excitement of a hot mini dress can bring.

THE SLINKY SLIP
Nothing says summer style quite like a sleek chic slip dress. They’re almost always appropriate for every occasion and super flattering on all body types. Slip dresses just have this thing about them that makes you feel like such a babe and that’s just the type of confidence we want to exude in the summer months. I especially love them because they’re kind of like a blank canvas waiting to be enhanced in any which way the wearer sees fit. You can dress them up super glam and extravagant or keep it simple with minimal styling because the piece is already so gorgeous on its own.
THE GRAND MAXI
Something about maxi dresses is so grand. They always make a statement but not one that’s over the top. Instead, they ooze a subtle grandeur that says I’m here but not seeking attention. The maxi dress is perfect for staying cool and looking cool at the same time while only wearing one piece.
THE ELEGANT MIDI
I like to think of the midi dress as getting the best of two worlds. It’s long enough for the days when you want to cover up a bit more but fun enough to keep it stylish and youthful. I used to sleep on midi dresses, especially being on the shorter end, until I realized that you can find styles that are super cute and exciting and doesn’t give you awful politician style vibes. This one from Banana Republic I especially love for the ruching at the side and figure-hugging fit. The midi is another one of those dresses that suit many body types and never leads you wrong when you’re looking for that balance between sexy and elegant.
THE SPICY MINI
Every woman should own a hot mini dress for the times when you want to spice things up. This piece is especially needed for the summer when you’ll be spending tons of time going out to bars and night events. Minis are just that fun piece that needs to be stashed in your arsenal ready to be let loose on any day or night that calls for it.
