Do you ever have to stop yourself from buying an item because you already own too many, only to convince yourself you absolutely need it anyway? For me, that would be white sundresses. Living in Southern California, I can get away with wearing them year-round, so they're a practical investment for me—even if I have a few that look a tiny bit alike. Listen, long sleeves and short sleeves are different!
Below, I rounded up my favorite white sundresses for summer 2022. I included plenty of affordable options, starting at a mere $20, as well as a slew of different styles with prints, lace, puff sleeves, and other fun details. Scroll down to shop for my favorite white dresses from H&M, Mango, Faithfull, & Other Stories, and more.
How can you resist this $25 price tag? I'll be styling this with an oversize denim jacket and flat sandals.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
