Unfortunately, shopping for the perfect look can be tough, especially since most designs are covered in floral prints or bubblegum-pink shades. The bright colors and feminine patterns are gorgeous, if that's your thing. But for the ladies who prefer to wear more subdued, neutral tones, the offerings can be disappointing. That's why we went on a hunt for summer dresses that aren't blindingly bright and that don't have flower overload. We discovered some gorgeous options that still feel like summer thanks to a combination of lighter fabrics and breezy silhouettes. And yes, there are options at every price point.
