Few pieces capture effortless summer-in-the-city style like a minimalist dress. Whether you prefer a sleek midi à la Kendall Jenner, a long, flowing silhouette, or a simple mini, its versatility and easy one-and-done appeal make it a warm-weather essential. For styling, pair with barely-there flip-flops and a sleek shoulder bag for everyday elegance. Brands like The Row, Khaite, and Lemaire have perfected the minimalist shift, but clean-lined dresses are available at every price point—contemporary labels like Leset, Faithfull, and The Frankie Shop offer some of our favorites.
