Attention, everybody: spring is here and summer is just around the corner. You might be able to get away with jeans for now now, but pretty soon it’s going to be all dresses, all the time. Aka, you’ll need a closet stocked with them.

Best Cheap Dresses

Forever 21 is the perfect place to load up on dresses for summer because most styles are under $40. These trendy styles–from button-up dresses to maxi and bodycon–will give you something to wear every day when the weather gets really hot. Forever 21 has sales regularly–right now you can take 50% off your order with code EXTRA50–so you can even get additional discounts off that. Some dresses are as little as $9.99. Yes, we told you it was good!

What Size To Order?

Contrary to popular believe, Forever 21 dresses do not run small–they can just be a little inconsistent with their sizing. Our expert advice is to shop in store when you can to try things on, or if you’re shopping online to return items immediately because they have a somewhat strict return policy. If you’re between sizes, order up a size since the hemlines are a bit shorter and the cuts a bit more narrow.
