Abstract Art
Rebecca Minkoff's Alejandra Splatter Print Maxi Dress Boutiques Online, $378, is the perfect summer dress for color-phobes; the silky, swingy silhouette more than makes up for the lack of summer-y bright patterns, and the paint-splatter print looks easy and breezy -- everything a maxi dress should be.
Palm Frond
We're calling it: Palm tree is the print of summer 2015. This Parker maxi dress, $207, plays upon the trend with an abstract print and oh-so-pretty color scheme of tropical blues, greens, corals and yellows.
Mixed Media
Stripes and florals combine in this throw-on-and-go Jessica Simpson blouson maxi dress, $111, making it the perfect piece for wine tasting. A distressed denim jacket would be the perfect topper.
Go With the Flow
This strapless floral Sam Edelman maxi dress, $149, features box pleats and a loose, flowy silhouette that's perfect for summer BBQs (read: you can eat a lot of macaroni salad, and no one would be the wiser).
Cocktail in Hand
The guava shade and palm frond print of Splendid's Palm Printed Straplesss Maxi Dress, $158, screams tropical vacay. Wear it as a swimsuit cover up with flat sandals, then toss on espadrille wedges for a romantic beachside dinner.
White Hot
No summer wardrobe is complete without a LWD (little white dress), and this NY Collection maxi dresses on sale, $49.50, fits the bill with a swingy skirt and boho-chic crochet accents.
Summer Lovin'
This cheap maxi dresses online from BCBG, $199, is subtly sexy with a strappy halter neckline and empire-waist silhouette. Pair with your strappiest sandals and an embellished clutch for the perfect date night ensemble.
Polished Pastels
The flouncy hem on this Plenty by Tracy Reese dress, $178, looks amazing in motion (not to mention, is totally twirl-worthy), while the cinched waist looks flattering on all body types. Plus, the pastel pattern will stand out in a sea of neon-bright summer hues.
