SUMMER DRESSES BY TYPE
Let’s take a closer look at the different types of summer dresses you can find on the Levi's® site:
Denim Dress
There would be no Levi's without denim! We have a great selection of denim dresses in our dress collection. Yes, the denim dress is a firm favorite in our summer wardrobe. Delve into our lightweight denim collection and find a denim dress to give you a 100% denim look that’s relaxed, casual and very cool.
Team with a pair of low-top sneakers or sandals.

The Shirt Dress
If you’re looking for a summer dress that isn’t really a dress, we have just the solution: the shirt dress. A cross between a dress and a long shirt, wear a comfortable summer dress that will give you a relaxed cool look.
The shirt dress is so loose and wide that it will suit any woman. Just like the denim dress, wear it with a pair of sandals for an instant summery look.

The Overalls Dress
As the name suggests, this item is half-dress, half-overalls. Keep the style of overalls with the iconic wide straps and bib while wearing a summer dress for classic casual style.
Try wearing a light top or T-shirt underneath your overalls dress.
SUMMER DRESSES BY LENGTH
There are three main types of dresses and their varying lengths make them suitable for the temperature, your body type or the look you want to go for. Discover them here:
The Short Dress
This is our dress of choice for summer. Quite simply because it's short and lets you tan and show off your legs on those sunny days. Short summer dresses are also called mini dresses if they’re really short and skim the thighs (very similar to the mini-skirt but as a dress). Short dresses fall above the knee.
Pair your short dress with heels to gain even more height and a short-sleeved cardigan to add a touch of color."
The Midi Dress
Ideal for women who don't want to show their thighs, this summer dress is longer than the short dress without being too long. It falls between the knees and calves. A dress that's as versatile as they come!
Also known as a midi dress, it's halfway between a short and long dress, so it's also a dress that suits all women. Don't hesitate to accessorize this dress by adding a simple belt or a braided belt to accentuate your waist.
The Maxi Dress
The maxi dress, which flutters in the breeze, is also another option for women who don’t want to show their legs or who simply prefer this more bohemian, floaty style. It’s ankle length and covers your legs completely.
Wearing heels and carrying a small shoulder bag is a great option with this type of dress (especially for evenings out).
SUMMER DRESSES BY PATTERN
Summer is synonymous with sun, vacation and relaxation, so why not wear dresses with equally cheerful patterns? At Levi's, we offer a wide selection of dresses in different patterns. Find them below:
The Floral Dress
Let’s start with an essential summer dress: the floral dress. Enjoy dresses with floral designs such as daisies, poppies or ditsy prints. The flowery dress is one of the must-have dresses in your wardrobe this summer for a simple, chic look.
To contrast with these patterns, take a look at our plain cardigans and jackets.
The Polka-Dot Dress
The polka-dot dress has made a comeback as a summer essential. This classic dotted pattern will add a little contrast to the color of the rest of the dress.
If you prefer to stick to a minimalist look, wear this dress with feminine shoes in similar tones.
The Plain Dress
If, on the other hand, you prefer dresses without patterns, we have a wide range of dresses in plain colors. Experiment with light shades from pale blue to white for daytime wear, while wearing darker dresses from navy blue to black in the evening.
SUMMER DRESSES BY SLEEVE TYPE
Wearing a dress in summer gives you even more options, as you can choose dresses with a variety of sleeves to suit your tastes and the time of day:
- With straps: thin or wide to reveal your shoulders.
- With short sleeves: ideal for summer, as they protect you from the sun without making you too hot.
- With long sleeves: perfect for those cooler summer evenings.
