Top Pick Tuesday - Favorite Casual Summer Dresses!

Happy Tuesday! Memorial Day Weekend seemed to officially usher in the nice weather where I live in the Midwest, and it got me totally ready for casual dress season! I thought that would be a perfect topic for today's Top Pick Tuesday - here are a few of my very favorite easy breezy, casual dresses that are perfect for Summer!


Note - I have high standards for casual dresses since I wear them so often, so any time I share dresses with you, they will be full coverage and a good length! In this stage of life, I am with my kiddos pretty much all the time, and that means I need casual and comfy dresses that allow me to easily play with my kids (and bend over without anything being exposed :) )


Top Pick #1: KILIG Women's Summer Casual Sundress


The first dress that I LOVE is the Kilig Summer Casual Sundress. What first drew me to this dress were the vibrant and beautiful color options available. I firmly believe that fuchsia is a color that every woman needs in her wardrobe, so of course I grabbed the fuchsia version of this dress since it is SUCH an incredible shade. Even if you want a more muted shade, there are tons of options available, including both solids and prints!


One of the best features of this dress is the soft pleats in the front. The way they are situated makes this dress super flattering - and hides anything you may want hidden. I don't have the same body that I had pre-kids, and I appreciate that this dress is flattering and also just makes me feel comfortable since it has such a nice flow to it. I went according to the size chart for this, and have been very happy going true to size - I wouldn't recommend sizing up since this is already quite flowy!


The length is also great as well - I am 5'6" and it hits me just above the knees. As mentioned above, the length is very important to me. I find that this is the length I generally want and need in casual dresses if I still want to be able to be active in a dress. Moms of younger kids, you will appreciate this dress! You can check out the different choices available here - this dress is super easy to dress up more with heels or a cute wedge, OR just wear it as a casual everyday dress with sandals:



Top Pick #2: Akihoo Women's Casual Sleeveless Pleated Tank Dress


This dress is fairly similar to the option I just shared, except this one definitely has more of a tank dress feel. Think of a traditional tank top fit, and then imagine it in a dress form. The neckline is also a bit lower on this one than the prior dress since it again fits very much like a traditional tank.


Much like the prior dress, the Akihoo Sleeveless Tank Dress has soft pleats, which makes it super flattering (a couple of the versions, like the leopard version, do not have pleats since it would alter the pattern placement - that is the version that I have and it is still very flattering without the pleats!). This is another loose dress that is super comfy and easy to wear, and it won't suction your stomach area at all. It is slightly less flowy than the dress I just shared, but I do recommend again going true to size in this particular dress since it has flow to it.


There are some great color choices available - I also LOVE that this dress has several floral options available, as well as solids in beautiful colors that aren't always easy to find. This is a dress that you could easily transition from playing with the kids during the day to wearing out for a casual date night. You could also throw on an easy cardigan over a floral print and wear it to the office or even for an outdoor wedding this summer!




Top Pick #3: MOLERANI Women's Casual Swing T-Shirt Dress


I feel like this particular dress is exactly what comes to mind when you think of a casual summer dress. Everything about this just screams warm weather and fun in the sun to me!


I was initially drawn to this dress because of the large variety of color and print options - there are SO many vibrant and fun colors available, plus floral and animal print options, and even a camo option! Truly, there is a color or pattern that will appeal to anyone. I have the dark green version since I wanted something different from the regular colors that I gravitate towards in dresses, and I absolutely love the color! (I also love the multitude of options for accessorizing this dress - this dress is made for pendant necklaces and layered pieces!)


I went true to size in this, and very much recommend going according to the size chart since it is such a loose and flowy dress that also accommodates larger bust sizes nicely. It is the shortest of the three dresses that I am sharing today, but still is a very good length on my 5'6" frame, falling a couple of inches above my knees!


This is a dress that you could easily use as a pool or beach coverup as well - super easy to throw on over a swimsuit! This dress and the fabric definitely remind me of lounging around in my favorite tee - so simple and easy.
