The 35 Best Dresses Of 2019 (So Far)

I don't know about you, but we just love dresses. Regardless of the season, or the occasion, a dress is always a solid option when trying to decide what to wear. Dresses come in so many different styles too, whether you love a short and sweet sundress, a comfy but stylish frock dress, or an always-chic little back dress — the options are practically endless!

We’re already well into 2019 (can you believe it?), which means the time of spring and summer dresses is upon us. Since we love a good shopping spree here at Livingly, we cannot wait to fill our closets with all the new dresses that are just hitting the rack — or at least the internet. Though it isn’t quite sundress season yet, it’s never too early to get a head start. And for all of you that aren’t too into the sundress look, don’t worry, because there are plenty of other dresses that will fit the bill.

There are so many amazing dresses out right now, it can be difficult to sort through them all. You're in luck though, because we did the dirty work for you and selected our favorite dresses of 2019 (so far). First, you know we have a lot of floral dresses  — because it doesn’t get more spring and summer than that. We’re talking floral dresses of all length and styles, too. Next, we have some casual picks, like T-shirt dresses and even tie-dye prints (yes, tie-dye!). And lastly, we have occasion dresses that’ll be perfect for date night or all those summer weddings you know you’re going to attend.

See? We’re giving you a little of everything to make your shopping experience so much easier. Keep reading for our 35 best dresses of 2019 so far. Can you say, “cha-ching”?
