13 Expensive-Looking Quince Dresses for $50 and Under
1. Our Favorite: There’s something about a mock-neck dress that looks so effortlessly chic, and this midi is a great example of that. The sleeveless design, tummy-hiding ruching and long length give this pick versatile staying power that works for both brunches and spring weddings.
2. Cutest LBD: If you like our favorite pick above but want it in a shorter version, go with this little black dress. It has all the flattering details you could ask for, just with a mini skirt that shows off your legs in the most classy way. This is your sign to finally get rid of your LBD from 2001.
3. Slip Into It: What’s nice about this maxi slip dress is that you can wear it right now with a cardigan coat and later this spring with a button-down shirt. It makes the perfect base for styling and layering, which is why it just might be your go-to dress for transitional weather.
4. Flattering Fit: We’ve seen dresses with A-line details and tie-waist belts, but this mini pick is on another level. The unique drop-waist design fits snugly around the torso, giving you an hourglass appearance that looks so good on the body.
5. Designer-Looking: Everything about this ruched midi dress screams ‘designer’ from the square neckline down to the high side slit. We also love that the dress has wide shoulder straps, allowing you to forgo uncomfortable strapless bras.
6. Tropical Vacay: Spring is on its way, which means it’s time to start building your warm-weather wardrobe. Let this maxi dress be the first item you add to your closet. The breathable gauze material, spaghetti straps and long hem make this option perfect for island excursions and romantic beachside dinners.
7. Sporty-Chic: There’s nothing better than wearing a moisture-wicking active dress on a hot summer day. Yes, we’re thinking far ahead, and you should, too. Made with soft nylon and stretchy spandex, this one-shoulder dress moves with you while running errands or playing with Fido in the park — with no sweat stains in sight.
8. Boss Babe: Make getting ready for work a breeze with a cap-sleeve dress that’s comfortable yet prepped for the boardroom. Designed with a streamlined silhouette, wrinkle-resisting materials and a relaxed fit, the stretchy find is a must-have in every work wardrobe.
9. Closet Hero: You’ve been wearing button-down shirts all winter — now you can take that style into spring with this breathable cotton pick. It’s business up top and party at the bottom with a ruffle-like hem that’s feminine and flirty.
10. Laid-Back Luxe: Meet your new everyday dress! The ultra-soft texture and stretchy fit are just two reasons why you’ll wear it today. . . and again tomorrow. Plus, the dress has wide shoulder straps, a cinched waist and a flowy skirt combo to deliver ultimate comfort.
11. Pop of Color: Neutral colors are great for capsule wardrobes, but sometimes we want something a little more — dare we say it — fun. This easy breezy dress is just what the doctor ordered. It’s available in eight vibrant colors, which is more options than any other dress on our list. Grab it in shell pink, dewstone blue, heather green and more.
12. Curvaceous Beauty: Showing off your curves without revealing too much skin can be tricky, unless you have this rib knit tank dress that balances both effortlessly. Between its fitted appearance and buttery-soft fabric, this midi dress molds to your body in the most comfortable, conservative way.
13. Problem Solver: We love a dress that delivers rich mom vibes while secretly providing a flattering fit. This soft jersey design does just that, with a tie-waist overlay that gently smooths over the stomach for a seamless look. Oh, and the high-low hem gives this pick an air of romance, don’t you think?
