You never know when you’re going to need a good dress. Whether it’s a last-minute date, an event you totally forgot about, a big meeting at work, or just a day you feel like kicking your look up a notch, it helps to have them on hand so you’re not left scrambling or worse—empty-handed. That’s why when I come across a dress I like on the cheap, I buy it with or without somewhere to wear it because as they say, if you build it, they will come. So, if reading this is putting you in a slight panic over your own inventory (or lack thereof), you can breathe easy: Today I’ve found not just a handful of affordable dresses to stock up on, but a whopping 33 of them. From mini to midi and simple to statement, keep scrolling to see what made the cut (and shop them).

Editor-at-Large

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. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
