When the sun is shining, summer dresses make getting ready effortless. Comfortable, airy and easy to throw on, they pair well with boots and a straw hat for a relaxed western look at festivals, day trips and evenings outdoors. At Wild Nord, explore women's summer dresses, from broderie anglaise and off-the-shoulder designs to halterneck dresses, playful minis and lightweight beach styles.
Summer dresses in western style
Western style is not only about sturdy boots and leather jackets. In summer, white cotton dresses, embroidery, frills and breezy fabrics bring a lighter feel. Romantic prairie details meet the sun-soaked American Southwest in dresses suited to country concerts and seaside strolls.
Styles in the collection
Broderie anglaise
Broderie anglaise is cotton decorated with small embroidered eyelets for an airy, romantic pattern. A white summer dress with broderie anglaise suits summer celebrations, weddings and garden parties. Keep accessories simple to highlight the detail, or add western boots for a relaxed finish.
Off the shoulder and halterneck
An off-the-shoulder dress shows off your shoulders, while a halterneck ties around the neck and feels comfortable on warm days. Both styles pair easily with short cowboy boots or sandals.
Short dresses and mini dresses
Short summer dresses and mini dresses bring a playful feel to festival outfits. Pair yours with boots and a chain belt for a western-country look.
Beach dresses
Light and easy to wear, a beach dress slips on over swimwear or works for a holiday stroll.
How to choose the right summer dress
Fabric
For warm days, look for lightweight, breathable fabrics such as cotton or viscose. They feel cool against the skin and are comfortable throughout the day. Check the product details for each style's fabric composition.
Length and fit
A short dress feels breezy and playful, while a longer style offers more sun coverage and an elegant look. Many summer dresses have elasticated details or tie belts for an adjustable fit. Check the product page size guide and measurements before choosing your size.
Colour
White and light shades reflect the sun and create a fresh summer feel. Floral prints and brighter colours suit celebrations, while neutral tones pair easily with brown and turquoise western accessories.
Style your summer dress with a western feel
Pair a white summer dress with brown or white cowboy boots, a chain belt and a straw cowboy hat for an easy seasonal outfit. When the evening cools, add a denim or suede jacket. Turquoise earrings or bracelets bring a finishing touch inspired by the American Southwest.
Care
Follow the label's care instructions and consider washing your dress inside out at a low temperature. Use a laundry bag for styles with embroidery or frills. Air-dry the dress and iron gently on the reverse if needed. Wash white dresses separately to help them stay bright.
Occasions for a summer dress
Summer dresses suit holiday strolls, garden parties and outdoor country concerts. Add a straw hat and sandals for the beach, or wear boots and a denim jacket to a festival. Keep a white and a printed style in your wardrobe for sunny days.
Can you wear a summer dress in autumn?
Yes. Add tights, tall boots and a suede or denim jacket to wear your dress into early autumn.
