Yes, I know it’s February - and we are knee-deep in the winter doldrums. To look on the bright side, February is like the Wednesday/hump day of winter. We are more than halfway there, friends!! And that means that it's the perfect time to dream of warmer days ahead. As we inch closer to spring, the allure of dressing effortlessly in breezy dresses becomes undeniable.
However, with the retail landscape shifting, waiting for end-of-season sales might leave you missing out on your favorite finds. For those planning a sunny getaway or simply yearning for spring's promise, Saks.com offers a curated selection of warm-weather dresses.
I've handpicked four standout options, each styled with walkable heels and lightweight hoop earrings for a complete, versatile look. Whether you're jet-setting or enjoying local sunshine, these picks ensure you're fashionably prepared, with a woven tote to complement every occasion.
4 Fabulous Warm-Weather Dresses
Lightweight Chambray Dress
Dress: I’m wearing a small size in this lightweight chambray dress. The embroidery really makes it special. FYI, this is not a bra-friendly dress. However, the empire waist kind of “holds” the girls up. As a 34C I didn’t need any extra support.
Sandals: These shoes go with everything and are very walkable - they run true to size.
Sun Hat: The hat is an OS and has an adjustable interior so it fits all heads.
Tote: I am obsessed with this bag! The size, shape, and weight are perfect. I’d use it for planes, beaches, and every day.
Earrings: You can’t see the gold hoops well in this photo - but let me just say they give the outfit an effortless finish and are super lightweight while still delivering some oomph.

A-Line Dress
Man, this dress is so pretty! And it is bra-friendly! I love that it can be dressed up (as styled here) or dressed down with flat sandals for a day of shopping or lunch.
Dress: I’m wearing size 4 in this a-line style. It will work well with a shawl wrap or a denim jacket too.
Shoes: These white patent leather sandals with a micro heel run true to size.
Tote: I am obsessed with this bag! The size, shape, and weight are perfect. I’d use it for planes, beaches, and every day.
Earrings: You can’t see the gold hoops well in this photo - but let me just say they give the outfit an effortless finish and are super lightweight while still delivering some oomph.
Sun Hat: The hat is an OS and has an adjustable interior so it fits all heads.

Yellow Maxi Dress
Having a maxi dress in the mix is so versatile. The length allows it to be dressed up, like for a beach wedding. And it’s also fun enough to wear out to dinner. I paired it with these higher block heels, which are comfortable and walkable even though they’re kind of high.
Dress: I’m wearing a small size in the dress. The vertical piping helps give the illusion of height, especially when standing.
Glasses: These sunnies add fun drama, And they protect more of the delicate eye area as well. I just had a laser eye treatment so I am hyper aware about protecting my eyes from the sun.
Sandals: These shoes go with everything because of neutral color and high block heels. And they still make a statement because of the shape and stitching detail. They run TTS.
Tote: I am obsessed with this bag! The size, shape, and weight are perfect. I’d use it for the plane, beach and every day.
Earrings: You can’t see the gold hoops well in this photo - but let me just say they give the outfit an effortless finish and are super lightweight while still delivering some oomph.
Sun Hat: The hat is an OS and has an adjustable interior so it fits all heads.

Green & White Tiered Dress
This green and white color combo feels so fresh. And the detail on the straps of the dress add a fun flair. I also particularly like where the tiers hit on this dress, sometimes horizontal lines can make one look shorter, but these do just the opposite. Well done Farm Rio!
Dress: I’m wearing a small size in this lovely print dress. The fabric has a beautiful hand that's both substantial and airy at the same time.
Sandals: these are the same style as the nude pair. It’s Saks’ private brand, which provides high quality at a more friendly price. They run TTS and are very comfortable.
Sun Hat: The hat is an OS and has an adjustable interior so it fits all heads.
Tote: I am obsessed with this bag! The size, shape, and weight are perfect. I’d use it for the plane, beach and every day.
Earrings: You can’t see the gold hoops well in this photo - but let me just say they give the outfit an effortless finish and are super lightweight while still delivering some oomph.
