Come summer, I am all about a good dress. Next to matching sets, dresses are my most worn pieces during the warmer months. They’re effortless, comfortable, and are meant for the season.
I tend to notice a trend in my closet when it comes to the types of dresses I reach for. And right now, it’s all about open work or crochet styles, easy cotton ribbed tank dresses, and the essential and oh so comfortable, workout dress. Let’s dive into some of my must have summer dresses from Gap Factory.

Must Have Summer Dresses From Gap Factory
The Crochet Or Open Work Dresses
One of the hottest trends we are seeing right now in spring and summer fashion is open-work detailing. This may mean crochet, or lace, or laser cuts. Basically, anything that has holes in it in whatever way that may be. But crochet inspired fabrics tend to be what we see most this time of year in fashion.

And Gap Factory has so many cute options. I love a crochet dress because they feel so seasonal and special. Like an instant vacation. If dresses aren’t your thing, there are lots of beautiful open work and crochet pieces to shop from tops to cardigans and skirts.
This cream crochet dress comes with a cotton slip. You can easily remove it and wear it over a bathing suit for a cover up, or be daring and wear it out and about with contrasting undergarments for a more edgy look. Below are some of my favorite open work pieces from Gap Factory.


Tank Dresses
With the hot weather officially here, less fabric the better in my book. Tank dresses are really easy to throw on and go. But they also allow some versatility. Easily throw a linen shirt over them, or a denim jacket if you need a light layer. And in the cooler spring months, or those warmer early days of fall as you transition from season to season, you can also just add a leather jacket or cute bomber jacket.

Tank dresses are so easy and a staple to have. This ribbed tank midi dress is so comfy and comes in a few colors. But if you prefer a more flowy tank dress, there are lots of options too.


Workout Dresses
A good workout dress is one of my favorite things to wear for a summer walk these days. They feel so much more feminine and stylish than just shorts and a tank. The Gap Factory workout dress is a good one too. I love the wide straps, the shorts underneath are comfortable and don’t ride up (I am VERY picky about my biker short fit), and I love the sage green color I have. It also comes in black.

If you’re into separates, a workout skirt is a fun option too. Just pair it with a sports bra and tee or tank. Throw on a light layer like a linen button-down and your favorite fanny pack for the perfect walking outfit.
