The Best Long Sleeve Summer Dresses

The Australian design duo behind Spell and the Gypsy Collective are clearly pros at doing Boho. We love that this dress's charming floral print seems to capture both a summer and fall mood.

First things first: the “rule” about not wearing white after Labor Day is bulls-t. But if we needed an excuse, this dress is it. It’s elegant and graceful, and a tie belt always flatters. 

What’s better than a classic boho dress for gliding about on hot summer days? Not much, and this H&M number, with its versatile black and white print, definitely does the job. Wear it under a blazer, and it elevates your look to boho-chic.

So, it turns out that delicate pink trees on a lemony silk backdrop, draped just-so, make for a pretty incredible dress. If chic whimsy is the vibe, this is it.

Polka dots happen to be trending, but they’re also timeless. This go-anywhere dress is pretty perfect now, through the fall, and beyond.

Bold, bright red is always a good idea, and you can't beat the the price point here. It’s a no-brainer.

Is it possible to be subtle and statement-making at the same time? Loose or belted, this dress does just that, and it's one of the many reasons why we're huge fans of French brand Ba&sh.

We love the warmer tones and the way the tight pleats open into a fluid skirt here. Roll up the sleeves and unbutton the front placket for a softer look.

Pretty lace and a few fun pompoms easily allow this dress to straddle summer and fall, when grounded in black. It's a great all-purpose dress.  

As far as summer prints go, palms are ubiquitous. But with its darker base, this dress transcends seasons. 

We love this mini for its ruffled top and delicate green, yellow, pink and light-blue flower print.
