Dresses have always been considered as the most feminine clothing item there is. Ranging from short to really long ones, there are so many designs, styles and prints out there.
Most of us ladies own a dress or two, or fifty, and it gives us a chance to feel good, while looking good. The best thing about wearing a dress is the freedom of movement and comfort they provide. And those things are very important when it comes to the warmer seasons.
Summer is really hot, we have all suffered through for years, and there is nothing like a dress to keep you fresh and cool.
This year’s style is more focused on floral prints, such as the one pictured above, worn by Marion Cotillard and stripes, like the dress worn by Zoe Saldana, with dresses mostly being knee-length and above the knee in length.
In our list, we have included several types of dresses, differing in style, prints and design. You will find floral prints, for the most part, as well as several other styles.
