Five days a week, you can find me wearing a dress. An eye-catching dress is the easiest to style, and I absolutely adore throw-on-and-go clothing. And there’s nowhere better than Revolve to go shopping and fill your cart with the newest and best maxis, midis, and minis. I am constantly drawn to the site’s abundance of brands, such as SNDYS, Bardot, and Superdown. Better still? Almost any budget can find stylish and enjoyable options.

When you combine it with the several styles that Revolve has identified as “trending” among consumers, you have a fairly infallible assortment.
So, without further ado, here are 16 of the best Revolve dresses to add to cart ASAP.

1. SNDYS Lottie Dress
While looking for a more relaxed version of her favorite SNDYS Tahlia dress, assistant fashion commerce editor Stephanie Meraz fell head over heels for this amazingly comfortable outfit. “That same heavy, thick cotton that breathes well and is strong enough to resist a breeze is used to make [the Lottie dress].” Additionally, it features a smocked waist that I can attest gives and stretches effortlessly, in typical SNDYS flair. In addition to having the most elegant fit, this dress’s stunning back cut-out detail, which exposes just the appropriate amount of skin, is what truly drew me in.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XXL
- Material: 100 percent cotton
2. Varley Florian Knit Dress
“I just can’t resist this dress because it’s so sexy (not too much), so Amalfi Coast, and so posh!” Assistant Editor Destinee Scott is raving. Additionally, Varley is renowned for its incredibly soft knit designs, so I’m confident that it feels as opulent as it appears. Good value as well! This stylish, knit midi may be worn all spring and summer (simply wear a light jacket in the early spring and sandals in the middle of summer). If you prefer a creamy beige color, it is also available in that color. Despite the fact that it is unlined, reviews claim that wearing naked-colored underwear is stylish and not too seductive.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to L
- Material: 100 percent cotton
3. Superdown Kelsie Denim Dress
I’m eager to wear all of the denim in my closet, but I’m not sure about you. While sporting a full Canadian tuxedo might be a bit stifling for early fall, this minidress has all the autumnal vibes I want, but with a much more breathable silhouette. You can wear it open over a top and pants or another dress to double as a longer denim jacket. It also has a detachable belt that you can replace with a more durable leather one if you’d like.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XL
- Material: 100 percent cotton
4. Show Me Your Mumu Allegra Midi Dress
If you haven’t joined the trend yet, I strongly advise you to do so right now because red has been one of the year’s largest trends since January (or even late 2023). By just changing your shoes and accessories, you can dress up or down this stylish midi to suit a variety of events, including drinks with friends, a picnic brunch, or a workday. To better fit busts of various sizes, the bodice’s back is smocked, and the shoulder straps are adjustable. Did I also mention that it has pockets? Your closet will undoubtedly make extensive use of this adaptable dress.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XXL/2X
- Material: cotton blend
5. More to Come Dorothy Maxi Dress
I’ll say it now: come fall, polka dots will be all over the place. Therefore, why not lead the way? Because it is fully lined and bra-friendly, you won’t have to worry about your underwear showing through this stunning black and white piece. Additionally, the tilted neckline and fluttery cap sleeves are really stylish. The soft material has a satin finish for a subtle sheen, and the side has a hidden zipper to make pulling it on and off easier.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XL
- Material: not listed
6. Bardot Esra Midi Dress
This dress fits into all of these popular trends—coquette, balletcore, Bridgerton vibes—and it’s also comfortable. The drawstring at the neckline can be adjusted to fit your figure, and the lightweight linen fabric is fully lined for improved coverage. Additionally, without pinching, the faux corset features contribute to the hourglass shape illusion. Although a bra is completely appropriate for this midi, the sculpted cups at the bust may make you feel more at ease without one.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: US 2 to 12
- Material: 100 percent cotton
7. NIA Troy Dress
Commerce Editor Olivia Dubyak says, “I’m currently in a button-down phase and I’m obsessed with this striped shirtdress.” “It has the cool-girl vibes of Serena van der Woodsen.” You could wear this small as a shirt or a lightweight jacket because the buttons are all completely functional and the modest seaming at the waist adds some shape without the need for a belt. When examining the size chart, keep in mind that reviews have indicated that this dress runs small, particularly around the hips.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Material: 65 percent polyester, 35 percent cotton
8. Callahan Mira Dress
A winning combination is comfortable and stylish, and this dress satisfies both requirements while also being incredibly adaptable. The material is lightweight, drapes well, and can be dressed down for weekend hangouts with chunky shoes and a belt bag or up for work with a leather belt and flats. The buttons are all fully functioning, much like the shirtdress above, so you may adjust the front slit to your preferred level of opacity. P.S. If you would rather, it is also available in white.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Material: 100 percent polyester
9. SNDYS x Revolve Millie Dress
This mini with a nod to the 1990s is now attracting the attention of several PureWow editors. “I’m swooning over this stylish LBD from SNDYS, which is my favorite,” Meraz says. It combines two of my favorite styles—a chic high neckline and a seductive mini length—and it looks fantastic with or without tights underneath. At just $82, this is the perfect little black dress that goes well with both dressy and casual ensembles. The material isn’t too thick to feel oppressive on the last few hot days of the year, but it does have a good heft to give the shape some structure. With a covered back, it’s also bra-friendly.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XXL
- Material: 62 percent rayon, 33 percent nylon, 5 percent spandex
10. AFRM Alora Dress
Despite my initial doubts about its durability, butter yellow has become one of the most unexpected fashion trends of 2024 and has become a must-have color. This flirtatious mini is a great choice for a cocktail wedding reception or dinner and dancing because it looks great on a variety of complexion tones. The majority of reviews state that the dress fits true to size and that the material is silky and elastic. Just be aware that if you want some support while breaking it down on the dance floor, you’ll need to get a backless bra because of the back’s dramatic low cut.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to 3X
- Material: 95 percent polyester, 5 percent spandex
11. SNDYS Allegra Linen Mini Dress
What truly stopped me in my tracks as I browsed Revolve’s dress options were the crooked buttons. Both their surprising location and the high square neckline exude style and sophistication. It’s amazing that this beauty costs less than $90. According to reviews, the double-lined fabric conceals your underwear and doesn’t wrinkle as much as a single layer of linen might. You might want to go up a size from your typical one if you have larger hips or are in between sizes, though, as several people also noticed that this dress ran a bit small.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XXS to XXL
- Material: 95 percent linen, 5 percent cotton
12. Line and Dot Tanner Combo Dress
“Please let me wear this Line and Dot dress if I can only wear one this season,” Meraz pleads. “The drop-waist silhouette is particularly popular right now; the curve it generates is so lovely and elongating. I can’t get over how very stylish this rendition is, and it’s making me think of Meredith Blake. It also has a hint of vintage Barbie in the neckline, and it’s very easy to dress up or down to fit almost anything on your calendar. Speaking of the neckline, the higher cut in the back makes it simple to wear with your preferred strapless bra, and it has an integrated silicone lining to keep you from slipping.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Material: top is 52 percent rayon, 29 percent polyester, 19 percent nylon; skirt is 100 percent cotton
13. All the Ways Sonnet Maxi Dress
I love wearing sweater dresses in the winter, but this is a look I can start wearing now and keep going with until the end of the year. The silhouette is timeless, and the cozy knit is reasonably light. I’ll pair this beauty with a woven net purse and mesh flats or strappy sandals while the weather is still warm. When fall officially arrives, the maxi length will look fantastic with chunky loafers or knee-high boots and a cropped denim jacket on top.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Material: 80 percent viscose, 15 percent nylon, 5 percent elastane
14. NIA Rose Dress
I was initially drawn to this dress because of its color, but as I look at it more, I see that the pleated skirt is a cool take on tenniscore. The fitted upper half is far more refined and elegant than the typical polo collar or racerback, yet the flowy mini feels extremely athleisure. It is completely lined and fastened with a concealed zipper on the side. Additionally, the back is high enough to completely conceal a traditional strapless bra.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Material: 57 percent polyester, 40 percent rayon, 3 percent spandex
15. L*Space Santorini Dress
Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera says, “I love this floaty maxi that feels perfect for the super hot days right now, but will still look cute with a cardigan or denim jacket over top once it cools down.” It’s true that this flowy dress is a fantastic transitional item to have in your closet. It’s perfect for vacations and summer afternoons because the lightweight material is breathable and doesn’t wrinkle easily. However, the milky white also looks great with fall essentials like brown suede jackets, gray cashmere sweaters, and anything denim.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to XL
- Material: 85 percent viscose, 15 percent cotton
16. Free People Sundrenched Maxi Dress
This gorgeous maxi dress has two different ways to wear the neckline: with the sleeves pulled down for an off-the-shoulder style or with the sleeves pulled up for a sweetheart neckline, as seen above. Reviewers comment on how comfy the smocked bodice and cotton fabric are. One reviewer gave it five stars, saying, “Wonderful dress! It has a silicone band at the top to secure the chest, which was a nice touch. It’s entirely lined with a breathable, silky fabric. It was really comfortable and looked fantastic.
FAST FACTS
- Size Range: XS to L
- Material: 100 percent cotton
