Affordable Maxi Dresses

In a time where pinching pennies are just as trendy as the latest clutch handbag, finding clothes that are both affordable and chic are extremely important for our wallets and our closet. Luckily, there are many maxi dresses out there that are very affordable. Since maxi dresses have been here since seasons back, there are a lot of maxi dresses now that you can find on sale or even on clearance. The same dress you see in the front window of your favorite department store you can find a very similar style by the same maker at a discount store for over half the price! Here are some of my favorite deals for maxi dresses for this season that are affordable enough that you can buy one in every style, or at least buy some brand new shoes to match.

Affordable maxi dresses provide you with some amazing style flexibility while keeping you fashionable within budget.

Now, probably the Mecca of trendy low-priced stores is Forever21. If you are looking for any clothes in any style, in any color and for a low price this is definitely the place to go. There are, of course, plenty of wonderful maxi dresses on the site but here some of my favorites. This Tribal Print Dress for $24.80 is fresh and playful. The rich teal color and black print make this dress really stand out. You can add some really great jewelry—either a pretty gold necklace and bangles or chunky orange bracelets—and you will really be the star of any function you attend. Another whimsical and pretty choice from Forever21 is this Daydream Floral Maxi dress for $29.40. It’s appropriate to wear to a semi-formal function with classic pearls and a large cocktail ring.

Another great dress I found was from Charlotte Russe, the dress is a nice $32.99 and has an amazing boho-type print and a ribbon tie in the back. The sheer fabric with lining takes away any cheap looking elements of the dress which is what you want when you’re looking for affordable dresses. I would pair this dress with some strappy heels for an edgy and interesting look. This dress is really perfect for a casual day and is only $29.99. You could even pair this with brown leather ankle boots if you want to wear this in the fall. Even affordable pieces are an investment, so try and find styles and patterns that you can take into future seasons.

Right now, Wet Seal is having the ultimate sale on maxi dresses. Select maxi dress styles are only $15 dollars! There are so many great styles on the site so you should definitely check it out if you want a great deal. A really fun maxi dress on the site that is great for taking to the beach or the pool is this one in hot pink and is only 15 dollars! Wear this with a huge floppy hat and a great big tote to put all your towels, magazines, and sunscreen in for some fun in the sun! Another style for only 15 bucks is this Retro Print Maxi Dress. You could wear this dress with a flat pair of t-strap sandals or some sky high espadrille heels.

Just because this is about affordable maxi dresses doesn’t mean that there aren’t any designer dresses that have a great price! Check out discount stores that carry designer labels and you’re bound to find some really great deals for a high quality dress. A great site for discount designer clothes is Bluefly, it’s this site where this great Nicole Miller maxi dress is at for $315 (it’s original price $585!). This dress is absolutely breathtaking and versatile for many different occasions. The pattern on this dress is very elaborate so jewelry should be minimal, but you can take this from day to night be switchingyou’re your large tote to a long clutch at night. Another, more formal type of maxi dress is this dress by BCBGMAXAZRIA for $270 (originally $500). The beautiful ombre print paired with pleating at the bust and waistline is so simple yet elegant it’s definitely a dress you can wear year after year. You can go classic by pairing this dress with gold strappy stilettos or stick with the comfy theme and wear some pretty embellished flats. It’ll definitely make you feel a lot better owning more than one maxi dress if you can buy them on a budget.
