Now that we're officially in skin-baring season, it's time to revisit our hot weather wardrobes. Summer dresses—a seasonal staple in most other cities—are a year-round essential in always-sunny LA, making it a cinch to find a silhouette for every style and occasion.

Below, we've rounded up 12 local shops for scoring no-pants outfits, like sustainable stunners at Reformation, fest-ready options at Planet Blue, and cult-fave numbers at Nasty Gal. For those on a throwback treasure hunt, hit up our map of vintage shops, which includes DTLA dress oasis Shareen and designer vintage wonderland The Way We Wore, among others.
