Wrap dresses fall into the second category, thanks to their waist-defining ties, flattering V-necks and draped silhouettes that naturally create an hourglass look without feeling restrictive. They’re basically the ultimate summer confidence boost when you want to feel comfortable but still look pulled together.

2. Has Pockets: Picture wearing this navy floral dress to a Saturday graduation party where you need your hands free. The pockets carry the essentials, and the soft fabric keeps you cool.
3. Pretty Polka Dots: Black and white polka dots, a ruffle hem and a thigh-high split give this free-flowing maxi dress a vintage-meets-modern feel. The wrap front cinches the waist without a belt.
4. Pretty Pastels: If maxi dresses usually swallow you, the defined wrap waist on this pastel floral maxi keeps your shape visible. The flowy skirt drapes, instead of clinging.
