As someone who scrolls through rows and rows of clothing every day for work, you'd think I'd no longer get overwhelmed by the sheer number of items that call fashion's top multibrand retailers home. Hey, I'm not perfect, and when the task at hand is to go through tens of thousands of pieces and pick out the very best ones, it's natural to need a second to process it all. Once I get started, though, a familiar feeling of excitement starts to settle in. Like clockwork, that daunting feeling transforms into anticipation for all of the stylish possibilities that await me.
This is an exact retelling of what went through my mind today when I set my sights on the 14,000 dresses at Revolve right now. My original goal was to narrow them down to just 30, but after a fair bit of deliberation, I managed 37. When you see my options, this should impress you. That's how good the selection I had in front of me was. There are drop-waist dresses and slips, crochet options for the beach and beyond, and fit-and-flare tea dresses that are as classic as they are on-trend. I even included some viral hits, like Norma Kamali's ubiquitous-in-NYC Pickleball Dress and the two-tone tube dress that Elsa Hosk can't stop wearing. Those are just the highlights.

Something about summer makes me crave shapeless maxis. It's most likely the heat. No, it's definitely the heat.
