There's arguably no wardrobe item more versatile, compliment-prone, and easy to wear than a dress, especially in the summer when all you need to add is a pair of sandals, some earrings, and a stellar handbag to create an outfit worth talking about. Luckily, finding ones that check off all of the above boxes will never be less difficult than it is right now. For that, you and I have J.Crew to thank.
Until June 8, fashion's favorite retailer in 2023 is running a can't-miss sale on all things "dressed up," which, in addition to classic button-downs and skirts, includes a bevy of gorgeous dresses that I believe warrant all of your Friday afternoon attention. Slips, cotton sundresses, A-line frocks, and more—all of the styles that go best with summer weather are up to 50% off as we speak. Before you kick off the weekend, shop 15 of the best dress options included in the sale that I've conveniently rounded up in an easy-to-shop list below.
