Your perfect summer dress is just a few clicks away.

Having a go-to summer dress makes getting ready easy, especially at a time of the year when it's too hot to put any effort into outfit planning.

This dress should be one that suits your personal style, whether it's a classic piece for your forever wardrobe or something on-trend that you can wear multiple ways.

We're on the hunt for summer dresses we'll obsess over that are also on sale, and we've found 13 we think you should shop now.

Our picks include J.Crew's Ondine cotton minidress, available in two colors that are both on sale. It's that perfect dress for a summer day spent at the farmer's market, running light errands or for wearing to a backyard party, and we'd surely pack it as a chic Euro summer outfit. The white option, originally $188, is now less than $50.

If you're looking for that dress you can throw on and wear all day long, try Gap's Poplin Smocked Bodice Maxi Dress. The smocked bodice means it won't feel too tight around the chest and it has side pockets to go hands-free with just your essentials in tow. We love that it has adjustable tank straps, is 100% cotton and is machine-washable.

For those looking for something a little sportier, try the highly rated Essential V-Neck Midi Dress from Athleta, which is the perfect crossover between a lounge or travel dress or one that you can dress up for work. It is made with lightweight SUPIMA cotton fabric and has an internal shelf bra with removable pads for extra comfort this summer. At Abercrombie, shop the YPB studioFLEX Twist Mini Dress featuring built-in shorts, adjustable straps and "buttery soft fabric" to wear for low-impact activity all day long.

We also have discounted picks from Hill House, Banana Republic, COS and more. Scroll on to shop!
