12 Trending Summer Dresses To Fill Your Wardrobe With In 2024

One of the up-and-coming trends for 2024 is active wear made casual. Yes, we're talking about tennis core outfits. Apart from style, what makes sportswear great for summer is that they are sweatproof and do not retain water, meaning it won't smell even after long wear. 

How To Style It: To nail that look wear this sporty-looking dress by Puma and pair it with sneakers, sunglasses and a small handbag to make it chic.

90s are back and so is the gingham print. This small checkered style looks like the ideal summer wear, but this piece is an upgrade because of the corset style silhouette. Along with the top, the peplum style bottom and waistline are also inspired by the classic corset dress. 

How To Style It: Wear calf-length platform boots, preferably white or some strappy sandals and carry it with a small purse and puffed hairstyle for the perfect 90s girl vibe. 

Streetstyle in summer is a tad difficult to nail as it is super hot and you cannot layer the pieces for that street vibe. But this shirtdress will solve that problem as it is as breezy as it is stylish! We love the print on it while the dress itself is made up of poplin making it breezy and lightweight. 

How to style it: Wear this with some sporty sneakers, GenZ rectangle sunglasses with a fanny pack for the perfect day out in this summer heat. 

Pro tip: Ace the shirt dress trend and more here. 

Channel your inner Bridgerton energy with this pastel blue halter-neck dress that is so elegant that it makes for the perfect date outfit. Don't worry about the heat as this material is woven and hence is breathable and summer-friendly. 

How to style it: This outfit calls for a beautiful iridescent pair of heels and a classy pearl clutch with the hair styled in a nice bun for that Regency era vibe. 

This peach dress looks like it came straight off of a ramp and doesn't blend in with the other floral printed or work dresses we usually see. We love how it is capable of going from a 9-9 look while the unique style stands out and makes this one of the top choices for this summer; especially if you want a Barbiecore yet rich-looking piece. 

How to style it: Avoid looking overwhelming by going for basic and simple platform heels and a bag that does not stand out. 

I have always loved frills and I am glad they're finally back in trend. This cute puffy mini-dress doesn't look too revealing while doing the job of providing you with breathable fashion with its 100% cotton fabric. It's perfect for a casual day out and can easily be styled up or down. 

How to style it: We love the copper shade here, which will easily go with some sandals and a tote bag to complete that boho and chill look. 

Urth Label is one of my favourites this summer and you can see why just by looking at their fitting. This fitting is so good because of the corset lace-up on the back, which makes it work for all body types. The material here is pure cotton with cut-embroidery all over in floral making it more breezy as it allows air to pass through. 

How to style it: To keep the consistency of the laid-back look, wear some sandals and take a bag in cool pastel tones such as mint-green and blue. 

This baby pink dress is a tie-up with bows on the shoulder making it super cute and chic with the slit. Personally, I love a good ol' slit in dresses as it makes them look soft yet sexy. This is a great vacation, beach wear outfit perfect for those long walks on the seaside. We also love how flowy it looks also making it great to either dress up or down depending on the occasion. 

How to style it: Wear some strappy heels and carry a small purse to go, and at the walk, take these off and carry them in your hand (or hand them to your date) to live out your Bollywood moment. 

Floral prints have indeed become a little overdone this season, so ditch them for a desi bandhani print that will make you feel like you're wearing traditionals even though you're wearing a breezy cotton dress. This one has a wide variety in sizes and multiple colour choices so take your pick. 

How to style it: Nothing goes better with Bandhani than oxidised jewellery, wear jaipuri jootis and carry a canvas tote for that complete desi girl vibe. 

After seeing Gigi Hadid at the Met 2024, white, lemon and black are the only colours that I have been looking for this summer. This lemon print dress is a great revisit to that look. And this summer when life gives you lemons, put them on your dress for a refreshing print. 

How to style it: Wear a white cotton shirt jacket over it if you need to carry an overall, and pair some white platform heels and bag with it for a simple and sophisticated look. 

Sheer is everywhere this summer with celebs and influencers making it their staple for the summer and I love it. This simple crochet sheer dress is the perfect beachwear and cover-up. It's neutral, breezy, and great for folks who like showing a bit of skin. 

How to style it: Wear a large hat and carry a beach bag to maintain the whole resort wear vibe. 

Another trend this summer has been the bridal white dresses as celebrities choose to wear them everywhere from parties to outings. This cotton pleated maxi dress is just the right vibe for this. The dress has a corset-style top and puffed sleeves that give it a trendy vibe; additionally, it's breezy and flowy, perfect for the summers. 

How to style it: Pick a weave basket or a box bag that is tan in colour and wear it with a head scarf for that forest-girl energy.
