Summer is exciting for a million reasons: warm weather, exciting travel plans, and the near overnight transition from jeans to dresses. As things heat up, there’s no better feeling than slipping into a flirty mini or a tiered maxi for a warm-weather look that’s as breezy as it is stylish. With temperatures on the rise and summer declaring its official start, our editors have spent hours in search of the season’s best budget-friendly dresses.
Despite the many challenges associated with summer dressing, we have the warm-weather season to thank for an endless supply of easy, lightweight styles—the summer dress included. Universally flattering and versatile from day to night, a great summer dress is a one-and-done look that blends comfort with style in one fell swoop. The best part? If you know where to look—or in this case, if you ask us—you can score some pretty chic picks without the hefty price tag. From playful prints to classic cuts, I don’t know what’s hotter: the season’s forecast or summer’s new arrivals.
Whether you’re in the market for a new stand-out piece or a few updated go-to’s, these are 40 under-$100 dresses worth adding to your summer rotation.
