24 Summer Dresses to Shop From NET-A-PORTER

I’m going to be so honest: My summer isn’t looking incredibly busy. After I took back-to-back trips to Amsterdam, France, and Tokyo last summer, I’m ready for a season of rest and relaxation. I only have one upcoming wedding, which has given me an excuse to buy a cute dress and heels, and I’m starting my search at NET-A-PORTER‘s occasion edit. I may have gotten a bit carried away because I found two dozen dresses, so I organized them by occasion for you. You’re welcome. Ahead, there are elegant gowns for afternoon soirées, cute dresses for alfresco dinner parties with friends, bright and fun styles for every summer wedding, and casual but chic silhouettes for your day-to-day events.

I imagine these dresses were made with a longtime Hamptons resident in mind, who’s gearing up for a summer full of events, appearances, galas, dinners, and more. Scroll to shop silhouettes with expensive-looking draping, polished prints, and exquisite details.
