Having a handful of dresses queued up for summer is an easy way to look stylish and intentional without needing to coordinate a bunch of separates.

We've scouted a variety of affordable styles at Target ranging from sporty to refined to help you find a dress for all your summer needs. We couldn't help but gravitate towards the classics (think: linen midi dresses and slip dresses) but we also uncovered plenty of on-trend gems that offer an eye-catching twist. There are bold patterns and bright colors as well as neutrals, including a bestselling corseted denim dress. If you fall in love with the cut of a dress but aren't sure about the color, most options come in multiple shades and even patterned or solid options. You can also choose from a variety of lengths, from adorable mini dresses to relaxed midi dresses.

With the most expensive dresses capping off at $40, there are also cute options under $20, so you won't have to feel guilty about grabbing more than one. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite summer dress!
