There are days when the heat and humidity just won’t let up, and you want your clothes to be as much of an asset as you are. For any warm-weather outfits and loose-fitting dresses, the sundress is the star of the show. It is light and breezy in a way that lets you put together a polished look for the day without the feeling of being on the verge of melting.

Then again, one sundress is not like another. If you want to stay truly cool, it is in the details: go for something with a good length and a cut that allows some air flow, in a linen or cotton that actually breathes. Throw on a pair of summer sandals and an accessory or two to complement it, and you have yourself an outfit fit for anything from a trip to the farmers’ market in the morning to a nice dinner at sunset.

We have put together our top picks of the best sundresses out there to see you through the season in style. From a flirty mini dress for the city to a maxi dress that is ideal for the beach, here is what we like best.
