18 Under-$50 Dresses to Wear to Work This Fall
As far as fall style goals go, looking half as chic for work as the woman above seems like a great place to start. I have a feeling the best way to achieve that is through a dress or, of course, dresses. As you’ll soon see more below, a stylish dress pretty much guarantees an equally stylish outfit, because there’s really no way to mess them up. Wear them with boots, mules, sneakers, throw on a belt, don’t throw on a belt—doesn’t really matter! When you’re in a great dress, you just look great, which is why I’ve rounded up 18 of them for you to wear to work this season.
The best part? Thanks to our very own Who What Wear collection for Target, they’re all under $50, so no need to worry about choosing between all your favorites. Ready to start shopping (and see more outfit inspo along the way?)—just keep scrolling.
