31 Dresses That'll Turn You Into A Dress Person
A floral maxi dress can satisfy the Debbie Jellinsky part of your personal style. (Joan Cusack is such an icon in Addams Family Values).
A floral mini dress if you've gotta look really cute, really fast after flying over The North Pole to get wherever you're vacationing.
A long-sleeve boho dress to help you realize your easy-breezy spring style after you've been wrapped up in all sorts of cozy layers all winter.
A belted ruffled dress will help cut back on the math you have to do to figure out if a top will tuck neatly into a dress. This gives you that look for half the effort.
A one-shouldered frock prime for that May wedding you've got on your schedule where you'll see a ton of old college buds and, therefore, will have a horde of pics from it after.
A *pocketed* maxi will be super easy to wear, even if your plans for the day is to just roll around on the floor with the puppy. (Am I invited?)
An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress to wear when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. (Aka, most summer days.)
A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops.
A floral midi built to impress — especially if a babydoll or nap dress shape isn't your thing.
A black organza dress that's giving Wednesday season two. But you shouldn't wait around 'til that airs to wear it! (You can get a plain black slip to wear underneath!)
A drawstring bodycon dress with some major versatility — you can adjust the drawstring for the perfect length and look, then throw all kinds of outerwear over it as needed. (There are sooo many pregnant reviewers who love it!)
A chic mini dress that reviewers say is lightweight and breathable, so it'll prob end up in the top of your rotation come late-sprint.
A tiger-print dress passersby will assume you bought on a luxurious, tropical vacation. Go ahead. Let 'em assume. But then if they ask, be super helpful and point them to this Etsy shop chock full of dresses in glorious prints.
A linen babydoll dress you can have custom-made to fit your measurements. Plus, that super cute low back (and the upcoming summer heat) will be the perfect excuse to go bra-less. Life is short. Bra bands are too tight.
A halter-neck sundress in a maxi silhouette and a variety of patterns to help elevate your grand entrance — even if it's just popping in the store to buy some TP.
A graphic maxi dress for a chic, dramatic statement. Pregnant *and* non-pregnant reviewers are raving about it!
A wrap dress will let ya show lots of leg to the period piece beaus you're currently binge-watching.
A cherry-picked frock in case you need yet another '90s-inspired thing in your closet. Yes, yes you do need it. Trust me, I bought it a few summers ago and have worn it at least a dozen times since.
A midi corset dress that'll help scratch that cottagecore itch for the TikTok-famous House of CB Carmen dress. Except for nearly $200 less.
A ladylike polka-dot number that tbh you could wear to brunch with your great-aunt and then out day-drinking with your roomies after. But it also has accommodating stretch, barely wrinkles, and will look so nice in any photos where you wanna look fab but don't wanna upstage your surroundings.
A flowy boho style you'll get a ton of use out of in other seasons. It'll look equally amazing with cowboy boots or sandals. Cue to you in a piazza in Rome rocking this with your favorite accessory, a cone of gelato.
A showstopping mesh dress you can use as a base for basically any special event's ensemble. Hello, Summer Goth.
An airy nap dress I own and plan to wear as much as possible. It's super easy to adjust the puff sleeves from on- to off-the-shoulder to fit your mood.
A tie-strap beaut in an ankle-grazing length for those moments when you've GOTTA stoop down and play with a puppy. This has you covered.
A striped cap sleeve midi — it might be the next best (and comfiest) thing to wearing a night gown out and about.
A floor-length gown will look soooo pretty whether you're wearing it as a bridesmaid in your friend's wedding or in impromptu photo shoot by your pal who just got a new camera.
A casual striped option with some ruffled sleeves to make it feel a bit special but not super dressy. We're keeping it casual rn.
A versatile tiered maxi dress to layer with your longer-sleeve tops so you can comfortably sit in your chilly office.
A flared vintage-inspired dress you'll wanna buy after your next Hairspray rewatch...which is always a great idea.
A pom-pom strap maxi for a stylish twist on the "nap dress" style we all rely on to keep us cool and chic when the sun starts to bake. Twirling in this is, in fact, mandatory, and lack of twirl is punishable by nap dress law.

They're also super easy to swap out when you inevitably get the itch to redecorate your room (again). Faux wool pillow covers that'll make you want to cancel all of your plans so you can stay home and hug these instead while watching Wicked for the zillionth time. Sounds *~thrilifying!*, doesn't it?

A mini Keurig machine for anyone who has been looking for a fun, but affordable, way to add a delightful pop of color to their kitchen counter and certainly doesn't have the time or patience to make a carefully crafted coffee each morning.

A curved shower curtain rod that'll make your shower feel waaaay bigger! And, let's be honest, no one likes when the steam pushes the shower liner into their space and leaves 'em feeling like they were just tickled by a ghost. A duvet set complete with a buttery soft cover and two shams that'll make you want to lounge in bed for days (if only). Whatever color you choose will look (and feel!) divine and will help transform your room into one out of a home makeover show. And a bed skirt featuring a scalloped edge I'd like to think The Little Mermaid would lovingly add to her bed to remind her of home now that she's no longer sleeping in a clamshell under the sea. It'll make your bedroom feel way more put together without the need to fully redecorate or buy all-new bedding — easy-peasy! A roll of geometric peel-and-stick wallpaper that'll give your walls the modern upgrade they deserve — anyone who sets foot in your home will think "WOW!" and be blown away by your chic Wes Anderson–aesthetic. You can also use it to revamp bookshelves, drawers, cabinets, and more!

Flower-shaped drawer knobs for anyone looking to add some garden-like whimsy to their bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen — let spring time flourish in your home all the time, not just in April and May! A table lamp with a luxurious leather base to bring some light *and* style to whichever room you place it in. It comes in a bunch of fun colors that'll go nicely with any home's vibe. An aesthetic mirror that'll make applying your makeup in the morning that much more thrilling — pop it on your dresser or in your bathroom for an elevated (but inexpensive!) look. A tiered plant stand to provide your plants with a stabilized home instead of scattering them all around your apartment — it'll also make it WAY easier to water 'em! A set of wall-mounted floating shelves that'll provide you with some extra storage place to display some cute knickknacks or plants above your commode. A glass mushroom lamp because scattered lighting/creating a mood is very much having a moment right now. Don't break the bank on one from Urban Outfitters and West Elm when you might just change your mind about it when trends shift again! This one is lovely, unique, and comes in a bunch of colors that'll go with your space. And stunning patterned taper candles you can count on to bring a smile to your face whenever you glance at them atop your mantle. They're too pretty to leave sitting in your Amazon wish list — add 'em to your cart, it's what you and your home decor deserve.

'The Life of a Showgirl' has no merch yet. Swifties took matters into their own hands.
It only took a twenty-second video clip for Taylor Swift fans to start buying into the singer's 12th album. Swift announced the name of her newest album, "The Life of a Showgirl," in a teaser for an Aug. 13 episode of "New Heights," the podcast hosted by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and his brother, Jason Kelce. After the news broke, Swifties were quick to create their own merchandise, from friendship bracelets to crewnecks inspired by the album's name and color scheme. While Swift's store typically releases official merchandise, items for "The Life of a Showgirl" haven't been released yet, with the exception of a vinyl that's available to preorder. Here's a look at the fan-made merchandise available online. Swift's team files trademark applications for 'The Life of a Showgirl' TAS Rights Management, a company that manages Swift's intellectual property, filed trademark applications on Aug. 11 for phrases related to "The Life of a Showgirl." According to applications filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the company is pending approval for trademarks of the term "The Life of a Showgirl" and the abbreviation "TLOAS." This could hint that merch is on its way — the applications cover the use of the terms for goods like jewelry, stationery, tops and more. While the trademarks are pending, if approved, they would limit the use of the album's name in fan-made merchandise. However, Swifties have still gotten creative with their nods to "The Life of a Showgirl." See 'Life of a Showgirl' merch created by Swifties Many showgirl-inspired merch items for sale include the orange and green color scheme that has quickly become synonymous with the album. A post shared by Beyond Epic Shop (@beyondepic_shop) Pink Dinosaur, an online and Kansas City-based boutique, launched preorders for a line of shirts featuring terms like "new era," "TS12" and "Taylor 12." A post shared by Pink Dinosaur (@shopthepinkdinosaur) Independent sellers on Etsy have also released items celebrating the album, from phone cases and shirts to friendship bracelets. According to Etsy's seller handbook, third-party sellers may be able to use designs and phrases inspired by items such as albums and celebrity names. However, if items infringe or violate existing trademarks, both the platform and intellectual property owners can push to take down the products. TheRomanticsCo, a Texas-based seller, rolled out a slew of showgirl shirts with phrases like "off duty showgirl," "showgirl era" and "showgirl life."
