Moreover, we were able to dig around and find 13 gorgeous options that are all under $50. Whether you're searching for a cozy lounge to take you from a coffee date to lounging at home or something a little dressier for a Friendsgiving dinner, these dresses are as pretty as they are versatile.
Let's start with the most casual of them all: The Drop's Iona sweatshirt dress. The cotton, modal, and elastane blend gives it an ultra-soft and smooth finish that you can wear on its own or over your favorite pair of leggings while out running errands. "The simplicity of the design also allows for easy styling, making it a go-to piece for creating effortless yet chic looks," one five-star reviewer gushed.
The playful diamond ribbed pattern on this crewneck dress is just one of the many details that make it unique. The fitted silhouette gives it a sultry vibe, while the midi length and long sleeves help it feel more conservative. "This dress is so comfortable and looks expensive," a customer raved. "The material is high quality and heavy, definitely similar to a thicker knit sweater."
As far as mini styles go, the ruffled hem on this skirt adds the perfect touch of femininity, balancing out the relaxed fit. Think of it as the sophisticated older cousin of your typical T-shirt dress that's still casual without looking sloppy. A shopper said it was "such a cute dress for the fall" and added that it was "very cute" when layered over leggings or tights. It's available in 15 hues, from neutral gray to vibrant blue.
When we think of the ultimate sweater dress, this cable knit style by Anrabess always comes to mind. It's the quintessential texture for fall and winter, and it's sure to keep you warm, especially if you pair it with fleece-lined leggings and over-the-knee leather boots. You'll also find it in plenty of fall-friendly colors like burnt orange, plum, and deep green. One reviewer mentioned that they "bought this sweater for holiday family photos last year" and said they "wore it several times after to work and around town."
