Her Campus WVU’s Favorite Summer Dresses

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at WVU chapter.

As soon as the sun starts to shine, West Virginia University girls love to break out their favorite sundresses! Whether meeting a friend for lunch or going on a hot date with a cutie, we have the perfect dress for you no matter what the occasion!

Free People


Nothing screams romance like this floral print dress. The off-the-shoulder sleeves makes this dress perfect for hot summer nights. Pair this with either brown or nude sandals or heels and your date won’t be able to resist you!

Lilly Pulitzer

This Lilly dress is my current obsession. Even though it’s a little pricey, it’s a classic piece that can be worn for summers and summers to come. After you get a great base tan, this white dress will make you stand out amongst the crowd.

Victoria’s Secret


This halter dress is great for the beach because it’s cotton, light, and it has a built-in bra! It comes in an assortment of colors, and it makes an awesome cover up for lunch or a fun dress for dinner with the family. Also, it’s currently on sale (which is always nice!).

Lulu*s

This gold and blue dress is perfect for any WVU graduation party that you might attend. Super comfy, but still semi-dressy, this is the dress to wear for cookouts or a day of relaxation.

Betsey Johnson

This strapless Betsey was made for all of the flirty collegiettes™! You can pair this with a jean jacket for the cool summer nights, and you will still look super cute. Between the ruffles and floral print, you will be the center of attention!
