17 Under-$50 Dresses to Wear With Sandals This Summer

The official start of summer might be two months away, but there’s no reason you can’t start prepping your wardrobe right now, especially if that means stocking up on dresses that you can wear today through Labor Day and maybe even beyond. All it takes is a shoe switch and perhaps the addition of a light jacket here and there. Start with flats or mules during spring, transition to your beloved sandals once summer hits, and then bring back the ankle boots in fall. It’s that easy.

So back to the dresses. Thanks to our very ownBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing collection for Target, I’ve rounded up 17 of them that can take you through all of the above and more. Just keep scrolling to shop them and get a little dress-and-sandal outfit inspo along the way. After all, summer will be here before we know it.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
