Summer, also known as beach season, is rapidly approaching, and that means it's time to start planning our outfits. If you're like us, you'll want to spend as much time by the water as possible, and that means having some great swimsuits on hand. Plus, you need a few great cover-ups. We like these 12 beach dresses because they're comfortable, fun, and versatile. This isn't your old oversize T-shirt with cutoff denim shorts; these are the dresses you'll want to wear from brunch to the beach.

We're loving how comfortable and easy these styles are, and they're great options if you've got curves. Whether you love flowy maxi dresses or comfortable T-shirt dresses, these summer staples will be in constant rotation this season. Keep on reading to shop our selections.
