Three Words: Affordable Printed Dresses
In a world where a dress—regardless of whether it’s casual, cocktail, or formal—can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands, it’s always refreshing to score one (or a few) that you love without the stress-inducing price tag—at least I feel that way. That’s how I was certain you, our dear readers, would appreciate today’s roundup of affordable and warm weather–ready dresses that you can wear all season (and next). How affordable am I talking, you may wonder? Under $40—and it’s all thanks to our Who What Wear collection.
If that wasn’t wonderful enough, they all also happen to go perfectly with everyone’s favorite summer footwear: sandals, meaning getting dressed for the next few months is going to be a breeze. From subtle prints to bold florals to of-the-moment rainbow stripes that will get you all the compliments, we’ve got something for everyone in a range of sizes, so shop all the dresses below.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, 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.
