Sundresses don't need to be bursting with color. This comfy, throw-on T-shirt dress falls just above the knee, and a gathered seam running along the right hip creates rolling folds. Buy it at A.L.C.

3. Farrow's 'Pattie' Dress ($24)

The buttons, pointed collar, notched lapel, and kimono cap sleeves give this dress the look of an elegant blouse. It's 100 percent rayon, but the threaded textures in the floral pattern create an embroidered feel. Buy it at Need Supply.

4. Toms/& Other Stories Embroidered Dress ($43)

Air your bohemian side with this beautifully embroidered cotton mini. The loose fabric, wide sleeves, and deep-V neckline will keep you cool, while the waist tie creates a flattering silhouette. Buy it at Toms.

5. Madewell's Denim Azalea ($98)

The denim and off-the-shoulder crazes keep going strong, and this breezy number adds a third fun summer trend with its flared peasant sleeves. Buy it at Madewell.
