Every now and again I find myself becoming obsessed with one specific dress silhouette. There was a time when it was mid-length sweater dresses, another when it was skater dresses à la Taylor Swift. But for 2025, it seems nothing can top a long-sleeve minidress. They’re just so elegant, so chic and, most importantly, so comfortable. Long sleeves often translate to more bra-friendly necklines and shorter hems mean better air flow to see me through these last few days of summer. Plus, they’re a perfect match for one of the biggest shoe trends of fall 2025, knee-high boots. So if you too can’t seem to shake the need to add multiple long-sleeve minidresses to your wardrobe ASAP, here you’ll find 12 top picks, all editor approved and ready to carry you from summer to fall in style.
