These Chic Striped Dresses Belong in Your Summer Rotation
To get you ready for the summer, we've rounded up the best striped dresses to shop now—whether you're city-dwelling or vacationing (flights to the Riviera not included). See our favorites below.
Proenza Schouler's multi-striped dress from its spring/summer 2025 runway is the perfect combination of nautical and sporty, though the long, flowy silhouette makes it impractical for either category. Still, it's an ideal choice for a garden, yacht, or beach party
The perfect dress for the beach or a beach club, Posse's pocketed striped mini is the ultimate cute summer 'fit.
Whether you wear it as a cover-up or a minidress, Anemos has you covered from beach to bar. We're also loving the men's shirting-as-a-minidress trend!
If you're into the yellow trend for summer—even if this one leans more mustard than butter yellow—this Simon Miller mini is a great option, and the vertical stripes are especially flattering. It also comes in green and blue stripes, if yellow isn't your thing.
For a long-sleeve striped option, Sir The Label will keep you covered for cool waterside nights or thoroughly air-conditioned resorts.
We had to throw some diagonal stripes into the mix, of course. This baby blue and white combo will take you from downtown gallery to rooftop pool in no time.
Posse's striped dresses are so good, we had to include a second one. This strapless midi is the elevated older sister of our favorite red mini. With its bold black-and-white mega stripes, it's perfect for elegant brunches and evening adventures.
No one does stripes quite like Christopher John Rogers. With bold color pairings and ultra-flattering silhouettes, his dresses—especially this orange-and-purple striped one—are standout additions to any wardrobe, anywhere.
A maxi knit polo dress in baby blue, butter yellow, and evergreen? Say less. Whether you're summering in Nantucket or have more European plans in mind, consider this dress a must-pack essential.
Simkhai's collared, long-sleeve nano-stripe mini is perfect for lunch, whether you're in East Hampton or Biarritz.
Style J.Crew's striped midi dress with flat sandals or sneakers for summer errands, or dress it up with metallic heels and a chic handbag for an outdoor happy hour.
Ramy Brook's black-and-white striped halter dress is perfect for an elevated evening in the city or dinner at the resort bar.
Zankov is another brand that does stripes right. This knit dress features strategic striping designed to flatter any body.
The fringe trim on The Elder Statesman's red-and-black vertical striped midi dress practically begs to be worn on the beach—and we have no choice but to oblige.
Diotima is a must-have brand—not just for summer, but for life. And right now, the striped crochet sweater dress is exactly what your wardrobe needs.

Landmark Kerry James Marshall Show Heads to the Royal Academy
Summary Next month, London'sRoyal Academy of Artswill lift the veil onThe Histories, the most extensive European survey of celebrated painterKerry James Marshall. Coinciding with the artist's 70th birthday, the exhibition presents a stunning display of over 70 works, including a new series of paintings created especially for the show. Unfolding across 11 thematic and stylistic sections,The Historiesguides visitors through the formal and conceptual evolution of one of America's most influential living artists. Highlights include the early and enigmatic 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Shadow of His Former Self' (1980); the emphatic 'The Academy' (2012)which figures life drawing model holding a Black Power first high; and 'Knowledge and Wonder' (1995) a monumental commission for the Chicago Public Library that is being loaned for the first time. Marshall's practice interrogates the canon itself, confronting the historical erasure of Black subjects in Western art and political history. Working primarily in series, the artist examines pivotal eras such as the Middle Passage, Civil Rights and Black Power movements, while honoring everyday scenes of Black life, looking to barbershops, parks, porches and studio spaces as sites of visibility and resilience. Kerry James Marshall: The Historieswill open on September 20 and will remain open through January 18, 2026. To purchase tickets or lean more, head to the Academy'swebsite.

Whether you're out for a stroll in the hot humid weather, swinging away at the tennis court, or just trying to exist as a sweaty human, these adorable moisture-wicking bottoms will be your new summer go-to. Promising review: "So cute and comfy! The material is so soft and I love the flowy skirt." —AOPrice: $35 (available in sizes XS–3X and four colors) An open-front lace cardigan to dress up a simple tank or cami without bogging your arms down in fabric.

Price: $30.99 (originally $41.39; available in sizes 1X–5X and seven colors) A button-front romper that's way edgier than a dress but just as simple to style.

Perfect summer pant that can be dressed up or just casual" —AtdicensoPrice: $30 (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors) A loose 'n flowy long-sleeve popover blouse since the adorable eyelet detailing adds a touch of style *and* extra airflow. BTW, lots of reviewers say this looks like it came from a much more expensive designer store, like Anthro, Madewell, or Sezane. Reviewers suggest sizing down as it has an oversized, more boxy review: "This is a super cute top, looks like it came from Anthro or something! It's definitely clipped in the model photo, though, as it's very oversized. I'm normally a L and got a medium, and it's still very oversized. I'm planning to tuck it into high-waist denim shorts and wear it with nude sandals. It's not double-lined, so it'll be breezy and cool, but you can see your skin through the holes." —EmmmEPrice: $28 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors) A lovely pointelle mini skirt because it looks just like that original hand-crocheted artisan piece you *almost* splurged on at the craft fair... before realizing it was way outside your budget. Now you can have a signature summertime piece without ~sweating~ about the price (or while wearing it, for that matter). Promising review: "Comfy and cute outfit." —Laura300Price: $28 (available in sizes XS–4X) A super comfy gauze jumpsuit you'll probably want to live in all summer long. The fabric's soft, stretchy, and airy while the elastic waistband ensures it's never too tight... not even when you end up indulging in a few too many pastries while vacationing in Europe. Promising review: "I love this jumpsuit. It's very comfortable. I feel very pretty in it and can dress it up for a party or wear it to work. The fabric is flowy and light but I could see myself wearing it in the fall too with a sweater and boots." —LesnyderPrice: $40 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors) An ethereal cover-up featuring crochet and tassel details, so you have a beautiful layer for whenever you need some extra sun coverage. Slip this on over your swimsuit *or* over a simple summer outfit to feel like a mystical beach goddess. Promising review: "Love the cover-up. Very comfortable and stylish." —Target reviewerPrice: $35.27 (originally $41.99; available in one size fits most) A satin A-line midi skirt since it's elegant, silky-cool on the skin, and perhaps most important of all, not a dress. Promising review: "Oh my goodness - this dress is perfect. It's the best summer work skirt. The satin feels cool to the touch and is so comfortable. I'm 5'2 and a small fit perfectly and so comfortably." —gmcnamara Price: $15 (originally $25; available in sizes XS–4X and two colors) A tie-front poplin blouse and matching eyelet shorts that look like a high-end designer set, so don't be surprised when heads start turning as you walk by. Of course, each piece can be worn separately to create all kinds of stylish outfits. Promising review: "Adorable shirt! Fits perfectly and is so cute for summer and even fall. I'm obsessed and can't wait to style it." —Spencer"Adorable and well made, runs true to size. Got the matching shorts too! Great together or separate." —JenFaithPrice: $38 for the shirt (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors) and $30 for the shorts (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)
