When it comes to dressing for a special night out, it can be challenging to find a truly wow-’em dress that makes us look good without trying too hard. The key is the right style — something that looks chic with just the right bit of sexy. So this summer, in time for the Cut’s Summer Sex Week (and many a sultry summer date-night), follow the words of our esteemed Queen Bey and “pull out the big gun and put your freakum dress on.” We’ve searched through hundreds of dresses, eschewing the predictable bandage styles for ones with a little more personality (and coverage).
From pieces with unusual hemlines to show-stopping embroidered numbers, click through our slideshow for the best freakum dresses of summer.
