I’m in My Linen Dress Era, and These 8 Breezy Styles Start at $29

I used to always wear jeans; it didn’t matter if I was headed to brunch or dinner. Who could blame me? They’re the easiest bottoms to pull off with little to no thinking. However, I’ve officially entered my feminine era by wearing dresses nonstop. Maybe it’s because of the warm, sunny weather or the way dresses instantly romanticize my day, but I’m sold, and I think you will be, too. 

I’m specifically obsessed with breezy linen dresses that keep me cool all season long thanks to their lightweight, breathable material. Best of all, so many styles are available, including smocked, A-line, mini, midi, cut out, and button-front options. Shop some of the linen dresses I’m eyeing, below, starting at $29; trust me when I say you’ll be living in them for the next four months. 

8 Editor-Approved Linen Dresses 

Quince 100 Percent European Sleeveless Swing Dress

I’ve never seen a sweeter pick than this butter yellow swing dress from Quince. Traditionally retailed at $118, the 100 percent linen dress includes a mini length, pin-tucking, buttons, and pleat details on the front and back. Side pockets make it super practical, while 10 colors and sizes XS to XL are available. 

Wayf Isabelle Smocked Midi Sundress

If you have a wedding or picnic coming up, the Wayf Isabelle dress is for you. The midi sundress includes a scoop neck, adjustable straps, a slightly dropped waist, and—my favorite part—a stretchy smocked bodice that flatters the waistline. Shop this pick in white, blue, and sizes XS to XL.

Lean into your wild (cherry) side with this Madewell mini dress. Aside from the striking hue, this dress includes other notable details such as weighted linen, a scoop neck, and cross-over back including a keyhole design. Sizes 0 to 16 are available, so find your ideal fit, pair it with comfy sandals, and you’re good to go.

Who said you had to spend a lot to look good? This $36 Old Navy midi dress boasts a fitted upper, sweetheart neckline, wide straps, a flared skirt, and gorgeous floral print. Choose between eight other prints if blossoms aren’t your thing, and select your ideal fit from sizes XS to 4XL.
