Come this time of year, you'll be hard-pressed to find me—and my fellow PureWow editors—in anything other than a dress. From comfortable maxi dresses to a slew of styles approved by Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint, it’s simply the ideal warm weather option . As the perfect summer staple, dresses can be breezy and light for fireside cookouts, sleek and elegant for all those wedding invites (hello, wedding guest dresses!) or even work-worthy. The best part? Thanks to Amazon, you can get them last-minute regardless of the occasion, since most arrive within just a couple of days with Prime shipping.
While the options are certainly many styles (the mega-retailer boasts well over 50,000 of 'em that can be worn for weddings, casual daytime outings, evening events and more), I took on the challenge of hunting down the best Amazon dresses for any situation, all so you don't have to. Even better? Most of these dresses fall within the $40 to $80 price range, meaning you won't have to break the bank to get a great pickup.
