When building our summer wardrobes, great dresses are always our top priority. There’s just something about slipping on a show-stopping yet easy-to-wear style that has the power to make you feel amazing. An instant outfit, all you need is a few simple accessories to throw on with it during the summer months and you’re good to go. And since we’re well and truly heading into those warmer months now (no more snow please, UK, thank you…), we can’t help but start thinking about all the fabulous frocks we’re looking forward to wearing this year. In fact, there are a few styles in particular we keep seeing again and again on our social feeds that are currently living in our thoughts rent free. 

Of course, there are hundreds of dresses out there to choose from. You can find some of the best throw-on styles here, for example, or the best styles under £100 here. But when it comes to the cream of the crop, there are some styles that just do it better, garnering the attention of influencers and editors alike and, unsurprisingly, making their way onto the 2022 best-sellers list before those balmy summer days have even arrived. These are the dresses you’ll find below. 

There’s something for every taste and budget in this elite list— from prints to neutrals, throw-on H&M styles to versatile investments you’ll turn to again and again over the years. All of them have one thing in common, though— they’re a joy to wear. And whether your year ahead is full of weddings, far-off plans or you just need something to see you through the great British summer time at home, we challenge you to wear any one of these styles and not have a smile on your face.
