Some dresses just feel like summer love. They hug in all the right places, twirl when you walk, and make even an iced matcha run feel like a movie montage. As the Friends & Family Sale lights up Macy’s with up to 30% off, it’s the perfect moment to fall in love—with a look, a vibe, a whole new wardrobe energy.
Picture this: you’re two Aperol spritzes into a rooftop dinner. Your dress? Breathable, floaty, secretly stretchy in the waist (because bread basket). Or maybe it’s Sunday, and the only plan is bare feet, sunshine, and something soft against your skin. Either way, we found the ones.
