As temperatures rise, the urge to shed every layer of clothing gets stronger and stronger. (Quick shoutout to air conditioning! You a real one.) But when we can’t lounge around the house in cute lingerie or hang by the pool in bikinis, sexy plus-size summer dresses that show some skin are the next best option. These frocks not only keep you cool, but also ensure you look hot AF. Whether it’s date night or dinner with your BFFs, a sexy summer dress is the perfect way to distract yourself—and anyone else who happens to see you slaying it—from just how damn hot it is outside. Thankfully, there is absolutely no shortage of sexy plus-size summer dresses on offer this season—so make some room in your closet.
Dresses are a warm weather must-have, and with summer parties, evenings out with your boo or even Instagram-worthy backyard photoshoots on your schedule, you’ll want to stock up. Sexy summer dresses keep you from getting overheated and make you look effortlessly sexy, so there’s no reason not to treat yourself to one (or three). Even if you typically live in cut-off shorts and tanks during the summer, once you lay your eyes on all the gorgeous and sexy frocks available from plus-size retailers right now, you won’t be able to resist. Maxi, midi or mini—they’re all available in spades, and ready to rock your summer wardrobe.
Seriously, show up to a bonfire party or fancy summer shindig in a sexy plus-size dress, and watch as all eyes turn toward you. That’s how hot each and every one of the 101 summery dresses we’ve rounded up below is. The only thing missing is you. So peruse all the delicious options below, show a little skin and prepare to have your sexiest summer yet.
Here at Unruly, we’re committed to featuring plus-size pieces we genuinely love and want to share with you. We’re connected to an affiliate revenue program, which means we might make a small commission when you buy products through our shopping guides. This in no way affects the pieces we choose to feature, and it never will. (Confused? We’d love to answer any questions you have about this. Email us at beunrulyinfo@gmail.com!)
