Shop the Look: Loving Admiration Medium Blue Chambray Tie-Strap Mini Dress

There’s nothing worse than feeling sticky when temperatures are soaring, is there? (Spoiler alert: No.) 100% Cotton clothing (and pieces in other natural fibers like linen) are the most comfortable, breathable types of clothing, which of course makes them ideal for spring and summer wear.

Shop the Look: Trendy Throwback Ivory Denim Button-Up Belted Mini Dress

Cotton fabric is versatile, available in interesting textures and limitless gorgeous hues! Cotton dresses can be floaty and flirty, tailored and chic, or soft and cozy. 

Have we used enough adjectives to describe just how much we love 100% cotton dresses? Let’s take a look at some of the cutest on-trend cotton dresses of 2022.

Fitted White Summer Dress

Shop the Look: Simplicity and Sweetness White Sleeveless Tiered Midi Dress

We’re obsessed with a white dress for spring and summer, and this one checks all the boxes! The beautiful notched neckline adds an air of sophistication to this look, so it’s perfect for warm-weather events or brides looking for bridal shower dresses.

Zip Front Denim Mini Dress

Shop the Look: Rio Light Wash Sleeveless Zip-Front Denim Mini Dress

Who knew denim could look this flirty? The princess-seamed bodice, v-neckline, and adjustable back detail mean this dress is flattering and sultry! Plus, since it’s denim, it’s easy to find the right accessories.

Boho Backless Halter Dress

Shop the Look: Vacay Babe Navy Blue Striped Halter Maxi Dress

This tiered, ruffle detail maxi dress features a plunging v-neckline, a tie-strap halter neck, and a backless design that will have you feeling ready for a weekend on a yacht.

Monochromatic Floral Dress

Shop the Look: Time for Tea Dusty Rose Jacquard Sleeveless Midi Dress

If you love florals AND nude/blush tones, this dress will be a dream come true! The textured rose jacquard has an embossed floral texture that catches the light and gives the dress dimension.

Off-the-Shoulder Maxi Dress

Shop the Look: Ready for Sunshine Rust Orange Off-the-Shoulder Maxi Dress

A cute, comfy dress that’s appropriate for brunch or a date night? Yes, please. In gauzy woven cotton, this rust off-the-shoulder tiered dress makes for a go-to spring/summer frock. Pair it with a pair of neutral sandals and a whimsical wood clutch.

Eyelet Dress

Shop the Look: Sweetheart of Summer White Eyelet Tiered Mini Dress

We had to include an adorable cotton eyelet dress in this list, and this one is just irresistible! The bustier top and tiered skirt are romantic, and the pierced, embroidered fabric feels super light and airy; the perfect choice for warm weather! Cap off this summery outfit with monochromatic white accessories, or go for something a bit more eye catching like robins-egg-blue slides and a matching handbag.

Versatile Knit Dress

Shop the Look: Beauty in Simplicity Rust Orange Ribbed Bodycon Midi Dress

This stretchy knit dress is the most comfortable bodycon you’ll ever wear! The tiny ribbed knit stretches to fit your body perfectly, and the wide shoulder straps help to keep everything in place. Wear with a pair of strappy high heel sandals and simple jewelry, and you’re ready to hit the town!

Crochet Knit Cover-Up Dress

Shop the Look: Adalia Beige Crochet Swim Cover-Up

Swimwear meets festival wear in this strapless fitted crochet dress with a ruffle hem. So unique yet chic and simple, wear this dress with a pair of beach sandals or western boots.
