Three Words: Affordable Printed Dresses
In a world where a dress—regardless of whether it’s casual, cocktail, or formal—can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands, it’s always refreshing to score one (or a few) that you love without the stress-inducing price tag—at least I feel that way. That’s how I was certain you, our dear readers, would appreciate today’s roundup of affordable and warm weather–ready dresses that you can wear all season (and next). How affordable am I talking, you may wonder? Under $40—and it’s all thanks to our Who What Wear collection.
If that wasn’t wonderful enough, they all also happen to go perfectly with everyone’s favorite summer footwear: sandals, meaning getting dressed for the next few months is going to be a breeze. From subtle prints to bold florals to of-the-moment rainbow stripes that will get you all the compliments, we’ve got something for everyone in a range of sizes, so shop all the dresses below.
