If you visit cities like Paris, Copenhagen, Los Angeles, or NYC this summer, you may notice a popular fashion trend: Dôen dresses. The brand's dresses have captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide for several good reasons. It offers effortless summer fashion, serving simple one-and-done pieces with a touch of elevated style. Additionally, the brand aligns with the cottagecore aesthetic, encouraging wearers to embrace nature and revel in the feeling of freedom amidst lush greenery.
What really sets Dôen's dresses apart, though, is their lightweight design, making them ideal for staying cool in hot weather. But with prices ranging from $300 to $900, they may not be accessible to everyone. In response, I have carefully curated a selection of 30 charming alternative dresses that capture a similarly relaxed vibe at more budget-friendly prices.
Within this collection, you will find various under-$200 styles, from airy maxi dresses with drop-waists to midi dresses featuring smocked bodices and puffed sleeves. Each dress is not just a fashion statement but also a versatile addition to any wardrobe, ensuring that you can embrace this season's fashion trends with ease and affordability, no matter the occasion.
