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 multi-brand 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. Scroll down to see the 37 best dresses at Revolve this summer, according to a fashion editor who had a bit too much fun picking them all out.
Rue Sophie just arrived at Revolve, and I’m predicting that it’ll be a huge success.
Norma Kamali
Sleeveless Pickleball Mini Dress
Everyone I know in New York City is wearing this sporty minidress. It’s truly everywhere.
LIONESS
Field of Dreams Dress
I am honestly shocked that this drop-waist gown is only $109 and not out of stock.
Helsa
Faille Colorblock Midi Dress
Elsa Hosk belted this skirt in the chicest, most unexpected way possible.
I’ve received three texts from friends asking if they should buy this exact dress. Every time, I said yes.

Marin Midi Dress
I’ll probably never stop loving the sheer trend, especially in dress form.

The white and black versions of this dress keep selling out. This new baby-pink alt is next.

Think of how easy it’ll be to pack this dress up in a carry-on suitcase.

Valerie Maxi Dress
Give me a dress that’s as easy as it is glamorous, and I’ll be a happy woman.
LIONESS
Carrie Halter Dress
If you were under the impression that all of the most viral-worthy vacation dresses were dangerously pricey, think again. This $89 option is destined for internet fame.
Tularosa
Wilson Maxi Dress
Something about summer makes me crave shapeless maxis. It’s most likely the heat. No, it’s definitely the heat.
Tularosa

I love the idea of styling this linen mini with a sheer skirt underneath.

Slip Fishtail Dress
A sexy black dress like this one belongs in everyone’s closet.
This dress is giving me serious Alaïa vibes. Take it a step further and add a wide belt at the waist.
I already know that this dress won’t still be in stock by the time summer’s official start date arrives.
