19 Vegan Soul Food Recipes for Down-Home Comfort (2024)

By Anthropologie Short-Sleeve Swing Tunic Mini Dress

Shirt dresses are a beautiful thing, because they don't feel like real dresses. Take this one for example – it's extremely loose-fitting and breezy – perfect for sunny summer days. Though it boasts a more casual fit, this cotton mini dress is still polished enough for more formal sit-down dinners and date nights. The buttoned front and crisp collar are just a few details that speak to its aura of quiet luxury.

This $148 number is available in two other colors (black and light blue), and you can shop it in standard sizes XXS-XL, petite sizes XXS-XL, and plus sizes 1X-3X.

Maeve Strapless Corset Column Midi Dress

There's never been a better color for summer 2024 than some coral, baby! This strapless, corseted Anthropologie dress is practically begging to be packed away in your suitcase for vacay. It's made of 100% cotton, so you can count on your outfit to be easy n' breezy when worn. The structured top and skirt give the effect of a matching set, but this pick is a total one-and-done. To wear it, you'll step into the bodice and zip it up with a hidden back zipper. The hem falls around the shins, allowing your fave pair of sandals shine.

This $178 midi dress is available now in standard sizes 0-16, and petite sizes 00-16.

Mare Mare x Anthropologie Sleeveless Smocked Midi Dress

Drop waist dresses are sooo ethereal and dreamy, and this off-white one from Anthro will make you feel like a total princess no matter where you wear it! The cap sleeved, smocked midsection, and midi length work seamlessly together to complete the look. This dress is visually interesting enough that you might not have to go crazy when it comes to accessorizing – just slip into some comfy chic sandals and some light jewelry.

This $178 summer-ready pick comes in the off-white color or a more pure white colorway. I love that the fit is quite stretchy to accomodate for any body shape. It's now available in standard sizes XXS-XL, petite sizes XXS-XL, and plus sizes 1X-3X.

Sunday in Brooklyn Sleeveless Knit Midi Dress

This ultra-soft dress was made for those vacation days where you've left the beach very sun-kissed and sleepy. The pull-on fit makes it so easy to throw on for whatever's next on your itinerary without too much fuss. The tomato red color definitely feels ferociously fiery and hot for the season, and this dress' spiciness is only turned up by the sexy open back and cowl neck!

Gabbie Strapless Ruched Tube Dress

This tube dress is not your ordinary tube dress. Fitted with a fun ruffle that runs across the front of your bod and ruching details along the sides, you can wear this Anthropologie dress on its own and feel like your 'fit is complete. The side leg slit adds to the overall vibe of sexiness, which is a win-win in my book!

The Madi Front-Slit Denim Dress by Pilcro

I need this denim dress. It's overly 90's by nature, and so chic for most occasions. The strapless look combined with a breezy, slitted midi skirt just works so well for sweaty summer. The material isn't a thick, structured denim like you'd expect, either. It's stretchier and more flexible to fit you closely!

Aside from being practical with front and back pockets, this dress wears superbly with any type of shoe you'd like to wear, from kitten heels to "It" girl sneakers like Adidas Sambas. It's shoppable now for $158 in standard sizes XXS-XL, petite sizes XXS, S, M, and XL, and plus sizes 1X-3X.
