Grabbing an LBD for a special event or even a random day when you want to look a little sultry can feel like second nature. But many times, the mere hint of something is far sexier than actually seeing said thing. So rather than opting for a short hemline, try one of these calf grazing frocks. From the slinky to the ruffled to the comfy, these dresses will be put to work during your warm-weather wardrobe. See our picks in the gallery.
