Women's Summer Dresses

Make way for sunny days ahead with summer dresses for women. From the classic printed sundress to more upscale options, women's dresses take center stage in warmer months thanks to their ease of movement and lightweight construction. Whether you're showcasing one of Macy’s casual summer dresses for a weekend out on the town, need cute sundresses for summer garden parties, or are in the market for a special-occasion summer dress, these simple yet chic dresses make getting ready feel effortless.

Cute Summer Dresses for Every Occasion

Between summer formal dresses, summer cocktail dresses, and easy-breezy vacation dresses, there's a pick for virtually every event on your social calendar. Summer wedding guest dresses, alongside dresses for other formal, semi-formal, and black-tie invites, embody the best of the season with vibrant colors, skin-baring silhouettes, and beachy features (though you can certainly find little black dresses for the occasion, too). Higher temps don't have to mean shorter hemlines, either. Long summer dresses move beautifully in the breeze without feeling too stuffy and are often made from wonderfully breathable fabrics. Looking for extended sizes? Choose a plus size maxi dress from our collection. Or, browse maternity dresses if you're accommodating a baby bump this season.

What to Wear with Summer Dresses and Sundresses for Women

Not only do summer dresses create an instant outfit, they're also easy to accessorize. Summer maxi dresses pair perfectly with cool-girl sneakers, ballet flats, or sandals. Likewise, flowy dresses for summer look just as good with heels as they do with slides (and piled-on jewelry, of course). A summer mini dress feels fresh with cowboy boots or mules, plus a light jacket for the evening. For an ultra-feminine take, a white summer dress stands the test of time with limitless styling possibilities. Wear it with flip-flops during the day, then transition to a night out with pumps and a bold lipstick.
