24 Under-$50 Summer Dresses That Over-Deliver in Every Way
Have you ever taken a chance and ordered something so affordable that just seems too good to be true—only to later confirm upon arrival that, in fact, it is? Well, this isn’t that kind of story. The dresses you’re going to come across today, while attractively priced, are actually worthy of the hype we’re building around them, too. You can take my word for it or you can just see how countless girls on Instagram have been wearing them, as well as our very own editors. Or, of course, just look up.
Now that you’re on board, I’ll let you get right to it. Below you'll find 24 summer-ready dresses, many of which can also be worn well into fall and all of which seriously over-deliver for their under-$50 price tags. I'm talking midis, minis, and maxis in a range of prints, patterns, silhouettes, and sizes—so there's truly something for everyone. To get started shopping, just keep scrolling and feel free to thank me later.
Have you heard? Off-the-shoulder dresses are back.
Next: I'm from LA but live in NYC—here are the summer staples I've always bought.
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.
