Paula Boudes for PureWow / Abercrombie & Fitch

As fate would have it, I’m once again obsessed with the It store of my past: Abercrombie & Fitch. Not only do they have the best basics in town (hello, linen shorts and jeans), but they also have an impressive menswear collection that PureWow Assistant Editor Delia Curtis approves of and a plus-size selection as well. Though the iconic brand has an expansive range of pieces, their dresses are where they shine, IMO. After careful consideration of customer reviews and best sellers, I compiled a list of the 16 best dresses at Abercrombie & Fitch for any occasion, from a relaxing weekend off to a snazzy black-tie event

Best Exercise Dress

1. Abercrombie & Fitch Traveler Mini Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

This workout dress is consistently one of the most popular pieces at Abercrombie & Fitch, and I *know* it’s worth the hype once my colleagues sing its praises. It’s stretchy and soft, thanks to the blend of nylon, elastane and polyester, and the shoulder straps are adjustable. There are also built-in shorts underneath the dress and a hidden pocket that can hold your cellphone, credit cards and keys while you’re on the go. It’s one of those comfy dresses you can wear anytime and anywhere, whether you're making your way through an airport, headed to the tennis courts or simply grabbing coffee around the neighborhood.

Best Nap Dress

2. Abercrombie & Fitch Dipped-Waist Smocked Midi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

“Love the fit of this dress!” gushes an Abercrombie & Fitch shopper. “The slight V-shape at the waist is incredibly flattering, the top is tight enough to not need a bra (even with a larger chest) and the adjustable straps are such a nice touch.” This poplin maxi dress is one of the best dresses to own, especially on those days when you can’t be bothered to put an outfit together. The flowy frock features a smocked bodice, so it has a comfortable amount of give around your stomach. Make sure to snag it while you can, because many colorways and prints are already selling out.

Best Puff-Sleeve Dress

3. Abercrombie & Fitch Emerson Puff Sleeve Midi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

ICYDK, this is the best-selling Emerson dress, aka the dress that made Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida feel like she was a character in Bridgerton. She says, “This dress has everything. Princess sleeves. A ruched bodice. Back smocking. Pockets! But I can confirm that its biggest draw is just how freakin’ flattering it is. It lifts and supports the girls (no bra required), whittles in the waist and flows out into a swingy skirt at just the right spot to allow for plenty of dining and imbibing without the risk of feeling stuffed.” Oh, and did I mention that it’s made with a breathable and lightweight linen blend, so don’t be surprised when you start wearing it multiple days in a row.

Best Halter Dress

4. Abercrombie & Fitch Julia Slip Halter Maxi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

If you’re looking for a wedding guest dress or bridal shower number that’s photo-op ready, then you’re in luck. This slim-fitting maxi comes in multiple colors and prints, so you can find the perfect option for your event. It’s made from a gorgeous, shiny satin fabric that looks like it came straight from the set of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, and the draw-dropping plunge neck *and* scoop back is chef’s kiss. “I LOVED this dress,” gushes an Abercrombie & Fitch reviewer, who notes that the delicate fabric does wrinkle easily. “I felt like the prettiest girl in the world in it. I received so so so many compliments. [It’s also] easy to wear with tape or bra-less. It fit like a glove, and looks amazing on curvier women!”

Best Sweater Dress

5. Abercrombie & Fitch Midi Sweater Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

If you're a fan of the ‘90s minimalism revival, then you’ll adore this high-neck sweater dress. It’s slim-fitting and has a regal high neck that’ll look stunning when worn on its own, or underneath a blazer or trench. That’s not all: The soft and stretchy fabric is ribbed all-over and there’s a thigh-high slit that makes walking easier. It’s “classy, beautiful, stretchy, and comfortable,” as one shopper says, and because it’s comprised of a knit fabric, it’ll make a great transition piece between seasons.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Now here’s a dress fit for an engagement party or low-key wedding, ladies. The luxe satin fabric, the flattering square neckline, the column-silhouette, the side slit...need I say more? It’s such a classy dress that’s in no way dowdy or old fashioned.

Best Mini Dress

7. Abercrombie & Fitch Babydoll Tie Mini Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

Possibly my favorite of the bunch, this mini dress reminds me a lot of another A&F dress I own that’s no longer sold. It’s made from the brand’s popular cotton poplin fabric that looks so airy and breezy, plus, it features a ruched babydoll bodice with ties peeking out just below the armpit areas that have absolutely stolen my heart. It’s one of those dresses that’s undeniably adorable and oh-so comfy. I’d pair it with some cowboy boots for a feminine-meets-rustic moment.

Best Off-the-Shoulder Dress

8. Abercrombie & Fitch Emerson Off-The-Shoulder Maxi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

If you’re a fan of the original, best-selling Emerson dress, then you’ll go crazy for this off-the-shoulder maxi version. No need to worry about it’s functionality; it has pockets at either side where you can keep your phone or wallet, plus the A-line silhouette and billowy skirt allows you to move (or dance) freely. “I usually hate wearing strapless things because they have a tendency to slide off, but this dress feels super secure and comfortable,” says one customer.

Best T-Shirt Dress

9. Abercrombie & Fitch Linen-Blend Button Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

As far as T-shirt dresses go, this one takes the cake. It has a line of buttons going down the back of the dress that gives off major Jackie O. vibes. For the taller gals, I suggest you get the tall length for a few extra inches at the hem. It has a boxy fit that’s meant to be super relaxed but tapers at the waist ever so slightly for some shape. There are even darts placed at the bodice to keep its structure. Basically, it’s the perfect dress to wear on days when you have decision fatigue or feel bloated but still want to look cute.

Best Sundress

10. Abercrombie & Fitch Camille Midi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

From the sweetheart neckline and the spaghetti straps to the A-line cut and polka-dot print, everything about this cocktail dress exudes elegance and fun. One reviewer raves, “I love the structure in the bust, and you could definitely get away without wearing a bra. The slit in the leg is just enough to add detail without being too high. [I] can’t wait to wear it this summer.” Other buyers note that it fits snugly because the fabric doesn’t have much give or stretch.

Best Crochet Dress

11. Abercrombie & Fitch Crochet-Style Mini Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

Meet your go-to vacation dress, people. Don’t believe me? One reviewer says, “This crochet dress is a total summer staple. The navy color with the white trim gives it a classic, nautical vibe that’s perfect for beach days or casual brunches.” It has an all-over crochet stitching that’s absolutely gorgeous, and I just love the contrasting navy and white stripes. The knit fabric will provide the ultimate flexibly and comfortability. “I love the strapless design—it’s super flattering and comfy, and it stays up without constant adjusting,” they add.

Best Drop-Waist Dress

12. Abercrombie & Fitch Giselle Drop-Waist Maxi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

It’s the season for drop-waist silhouettes, and I, for one, am leaning into the elongating trend. Starting with this patterned, light green maxi dress. With a whopping 4.7 stars from Abercrombie & Fitch customers, reviews say that it's comfortable, supportive at the chest (even for those with big boobs) and incredibly flattering with the boning along the sides and cinching at the waist. Oh, and did I mention that it has detachable straps?

Make sure to pack this in your beach bag the next time you head out for a quick dip. It’s a classic, button-up shirtdress that boasts a relaxed, straight fit that’ll look chic belted or not. The easy-fitting midi dress is the ultimate cover-up, taking you from water to fine wine and dining al fresco in no time.

14. Abercrombie & Fitch Linen-Blend Button Mini Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

Here’s a best-selling mini dress cut from a soft linen-blend fabric. Breathable and lightweight, this refined frock is an ideal option to pack for all of your summer vacations. Both the wrap design and buttons follow an asymmetrical pattern that’s not only interesting, but will make for a great conversation starter—so, don’t be surprised when someone stops and asks you, “Where’s that dress from?” Speaking of flattering, just wait until you check out the tie back that’ll cinch you right in for a tailored fit.

Best Strapless Dress

15. Abercrombie & Fitch Julia Strapless Slip Maxi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

When you can find a dress that checks off all the boxes—I’m talking one that stays up, isn’t clingy and comes in tons of colorful patterns—you don’t hesitate to buy it because it *will* sell out. Case in point: Abercrombie & Fitch’s brand-new silky, strapless maxi. “The material is incredible and doesn’t cling like a lot of other silly dresses,” assures one buyer. “I usually order a petite because I’m quite short, but I took a risk with this one [and purchased the regular fit], and it worked out! The slit up the side is extra flattering and makes this dress [feel like] such a dream.”

Best Plunge Dress

16. Abercrombie & Fitch Beaded Plunge Maxi Dress

Abercrombie & Fitch

Whenever I go on a beach vacation, I try to look for summery dresses that are made with linen or some kind of linen blend as well as timeless designs in neutral colorways that I know I’ll revisit next year. Basically, I look for this stunner. It’s a maxi dress with a jaw-dropping plunge V-neck that’s secured down by a beaded detailing across the chest. It’s one of those go-to dresses you slip on for a romantic dinner at dusk with the waves crashing just a few feet away.
