Admit it, there are times when you just can’t rack your brain to come up with a cute outfit. Layering can be tricky when the pieces you have in mind aren’t all in your closet at the same time. Laundry days, we get it. But an easy way to get you out of a style rut is to simply throw on a chic dress.  

We’re not talking about party frocks or your go-to Sunday’s best, but casual and foolproof pieces that make you look put-together as soon as the sheath drapes your bod. Contrary to what most people think, a dress should be every lazy girl’s go-to if you’d rather not think about mix and matching pieces from your wardrobe. After all, it only requires you to put on ONE piece of clothing. It's practically faster to get dressed in an LBD versus a shirt and jeans if you think about it.  

The trick is to stack up on classic and effortlessly stylish frocks that can instantly transform your look. That said, we strongly advise against sticking to a certain style—don’t go buying A-line dresses for eternity. But it’s best to explore different silhouettes to suit your daily needs (and moods) for variety. If you have yet to build your inventory of mini, midi, and maxi dresses you can easily whip out of your wardrobe, we’ve rounded up the must-have styles you definitely need to shop.  

Casual Dresses to Shop for a Stylish Wardrobe

1. Little White Dress 

Anyone can attest to the power of a chic little white dress. No matter the cut and length, this frock will make you look fresh any time of the year. Best to shop for a piece in the most flattering style suited for your body type for maximum impact.

2. Printed Maxi Dress  

A printed maxi dress isn’t only perfect for the summer. When in a beautiful brocade or romantic floral pattern, it’s pretty much a transitional piece you can wear for a holiday party or an errand-filled weekend out.

3. Slip Dress 

If you don’t have this in your closet yet, this is a reminder for you to finally get one. A slip dress looks great on all body types and comes in different necklines, fabrics, and overall silhouettes, making it insanely versatile. But if you’re looking for a comfy piece, be sure to shop for one that’s as loose as they come.

4. Shirt Dress 

A button-down dress is undeniably an easy way to look polished even when you opt to slip on a pair of dingy sneakers and step out makeup-free. Need we say more?

5. Little Black Dress 

How can we forget the iconic LBD? If you’ve already got one for date night, don’t forget to add a casual piece you can slip into for Zoom calls or quick grocery errands. For maximum comfort, look for a loose midi-length frock that’s either cinched at the waist or falls straight like a shift dress.

6. Mini Shift Dress 

Length matters a lot when it comes to shopping for a frock. If you’ve been sticking to dresses that fall right above the knee, may we suggest to go a little shorter with a style that falls mid-thigh instead. This will show off your legs better and is still a comfortable length to move around in. Just be sure to opt for a style that lets your tummy breathe.
