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.
