My wardrobe recently has revolved around sharp pieces, so my closet is currently stocked with tailored suiting and perfectly cut button-downs. Suddenly, however, I’ve been gravitating toward softer pieces, so flowy slip skirts and bow-adorned flats have been taking over my outfits. A noticeable gap in my recent fashion proclivities has been dresses—a piece I’ve been interested in wearing now more than ever.
I have plenty of dresses stocked in my closet for occasions such as vacations and special events, but everyday dresses are another story. With that in mind, I went on the hunt for the best dresses on the market. Ahead, see the pieces that are standing out to me right now. My top picks range from iconic designs from the likes of Missoni to on-the-rise designers such as High Sport that are becoming mainstays in the closets of the best dressed fashion people. Here, shop my favorite finds.
