From Drop-Waist to Bubble-Hem, Shop the 8 Leading Dress Trends for Spring and Summer

Few garments are as quintessential to summer as a sundress. At the end of the day, a dress is a dress, but there are a handful of trending silhouettes cropping up and vying to monopolize our wardrobes in the next few months.

Drop-waist silhouettes and bubble-hem skirts are attracting every kind of dresser this season, after having a big moment on the Spring 2024 runways. Then, there are the largely evergreen styles that you can't go wrong with — think slips, shifts and strapless dresses. Personally, I'm a sucker for a white dress and, sure, florals are always a solid choice.

Keep scrolling to shop 2024's leading dress trends — encompassing minis, midis and maxis — at a range of price points and sizing options.
