Best Minidresses for Summer 2019
In the past few years, shoppers have rediscovered maxis, midis, and somewhere-in-between dresses—a result of a few different forces (an increased interest in modest dressing, the resurgence of all-oversize-everything, the Great Prairie Trend of 2018), but one that has pushed beloved minis to the back of the proverbial closet. But as summer begins to truly settle in, it’s time to shorten the hemlines once again (if only out of necessity). Faced with this challenge, brands are bringing some of the fan-favorite attributes of the more covered-up styles that have consumed our attention in recent seasons—billowy sleeves, vintage-inspired prints, loose-fit skirts—into minidress territory.
Though there are still plenty of formfitting, nineties-inspired camisole dresses out there, the minis that are taking over (thanks to Instagram-popular brands like LoveShackFancy, Staud, and Rhode) are big and breezy. Think prairie, but warm-weather friendly. Ahead, we found 15 of these perfect minidresses you’ll want to wear all summer long.
