If you had to choose one summer dress out of all the summer dresses, which one would it be? We’d definitely put a plaid dress against a denim dress, a linen dress, and a short-sleeved dress in the same category—but that’s not really our answer.
Thanks to Eva Mendes’ recent looks, we’ve identified the long-sleeved, one-shoulder dress as the summer 2025 dress of choice. We love her brown, yellow, pink, and orange look, which is flowy, vibrant, and offers a unique way to cover up even in warm weather. This summer staple is about standing out, not blending in.
While Mendes’ Boteh dress is no longer in stock, there’s hope. With our own savvy online shopping skills, we found similar styles at Nordstrom, Farm Rio, Banana Republic, and more—all for as little as $15.
