The breezy styles are designed to keep you cool in the summer heat.

If you're anything like me, you spend most of your getting-ready time combing through your closet trying to find the perfect outfit to wear for every event. But after you finally choose your look (which often ends up being the same go-to you always reach for), it’s 30 minutes past arrival time.

While comfy shorts, tank tops, and basic T-shirts will always remain a summer staple in my closet, maxi skirts and dresses took the top spot as the statement pieces that I gravitate towards when I want a more elevated style. Opting for a maxi dress, in particular, cuts my getting ready time in half and looks put together (without even trying).

As my summer calendar continues to fill up over the next couple of months, I’ve rounded up my top 12 maxi dresses and skirts all from Target starting at $22. From flowy floral skirts with ruffles to vibrant, lightweight maxi dresses, there’s something for every occasion, and everything is under $50.

There are two things I look for when shopping for a maxi dress: linen material and a breathable design. This sleeveless dress checks both boxes and is easy to pull on without the hassle of trying to figure out how to tie it up. It’s also versatile enough to be dressed up with strappy sandals for brunch, or dressed down with slim white sneakers while running errands on the weekend.

I’m a fan of incorporating tropical colors into my summer style, so I’m adding this versatile long-sleeve maxi dress to my wishlist. The ribbed knit, open back is ideal for throwing over a swimsuit, but it can just as easily have a luxe look when worn with gold hoops and a chunky bracelet. To top it off, a straw hat and sunglasses of your choice will have you looking resort-ready in no time.

White skirts are a popular pick this summer, so I’m embracing the style with this high-rise maxi. It has touch floral detailing at the bottom where a cool, seaside breeze can come through. Plus, the elastic waist provides a snug and flexible fit. For a classic look, match this skirt with a basic white tank, shoulder bag, and Mary Janes.

Summer is an ideal time to experiment with playful prints, and this skirt will make a bold statement at my next summer outing. It can be worn with bright or neutral tops, or you can grab the matching blouse for a two-piece set. One shopper shared that it “looks more expensive” than the price, noting how “comfortable” it is. Another reviewer said that it’s a “lovely skirt that will effortlessly complement the basics in my wardrobe.”
