I Rarely Spend Huge Amounts on Dresses—Here Are 36 Affordable Frocks I Love

June 07, 2021 at 06:05AM

Dresses are my most favourite thing to shop for. More often than not, I’ll return trousers or tops based on their unpredictable fit, but I find it easier to tell whether a dress will fit and suit me; even if I only have a product shot to go by. Another plus side of dresses is I find that you don’t need to spend a fortune to find a really beautiful dress.

I’ve become a dab-hand at spotting a great affordable summer dress. Putting my skills to the test, below I’ve curated an edit of affordable summer dresses, just for you. It’s worth noting that one person’s idea of what’s affordable will always differ from the next, but with stand-out dresses from as little as £18 and £29 (from COS no less), and peaking at £145, I’ll let you determine what you deem as affordable for yourself. Regardless, with prints so pretty and colours so bold, I’m sure you’ll find at least one you love. Before you reach them, I’ve also rounded up some fashionable people who also have a soft spot for affordable summer dresses. Enjoy!
