Sure, we still wear dresses in winter, but let's be real—the options are limited, and they're not even as close to as exciting as the styles we get to sport come spring and summer. Finally, we'll get to swap all those long-sleeved and/or knit numbers for fun minis, florals, and LWDs. (Those are just a few of the frocks we have to look forward to in the coming weeks when the temperatures creep back up.)
Of course, the time to start buying them is now, but before you look anywhere else, I figured it would be best to start by sharing the best under-$50 options out there from our very own Who What Wear collection. This way, you can be in the best position to save some of your shopping budget for all the major spring trends that are going to be on your wish list soon, too. Ready to get to it and take in a little styling inspiration along the way? Just keep scrolling.
