If there’s one staple I wear on repeat in the summer, it’s a great dress. During the rest of the year, my wardrobe generally revolves around jeans and tailored pants, but the summer season is where my dress wardrobe really comes to life. From date night dresses to dressy styles for a wedding guest look to easy silhouettes for vacation, I find practically any excuse to throw one on. With that in mind, I’m currently on the hunt for some dresses for the season ahead and uncovered some great finds for under $150.
I had the trends of the season in mind, so you’ll find everything from pieces with barely-there straps and cutouts to ‘90s-inspired styles and micro mini hemlines. I’m also always on the lookout for timeless styles, so there are plenty to discover here as well. Ahead, 31 cool under-$150 summer dresses to add to your closet.

The calendar is about to flip over to May, which signals the beginning of summer in my book—so what if the official first day isn't until June? I'm more than a little excited to bust out all of my go-to warm-weather trends, including denim cutoffs, floaty sundresses, and colorful swimsuits. But like any deal hunter out there, I always prefer to buy things on sale, and right now my attention is focused on ASOS's fantastic discounts.

This dress is giving me French-girl vibes. I'm obsessed with this open back. The early 2000s are calling. You'll never regret investing in a great plaid blazer. This dress's square neckline and puff sleeves are just too cute. My ideal black trousers. Leopard print is always a good idea. The styling options are endless with this sleek, form-fitting maxi dress. Yep, I'd style this with white sneakers, too. A wardrobe staple. Simple black jeans can be styled in so many different ways. It's time to upgrade your pajamas. Brown is so underrated. Another cute summer dress option at a great price.
Naomi Campbell arrived dressed like royalty at the Prince's Trust Gala in NYC on Thursday night. Taking a page from the "Bridgerton" style handbook, Campbell descended the red carpet-lined staircase in an off-the-shoulder Maison Valentino ballgown and a matching pair of purple platform pumps. The sky-high heels only made a brief appearance, hidden under the folds of Campbell's voluminous skirt, which came complete with a set of hidden pockets.
The flowing train mirrored her half-up, half-down hairstyle, which cascaded well past the boning on the figure-hugging bodice. Like a true royal, Campbell styled the massive gown with emerald drop earrings, a matching statement ring, countless bracelets, and a diamond necklace with a drop pendant detail that beautifully accented her scoop neckline.
The charity event, hosted by Lionel Richie and Edward Enninful, featured an all-star attendance list, including Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid, Kate Moss, Adut Akech, Phoebe Dynevor, Imaan Hammam, and more. The gala, which was founded by Prince Charles in the UK in 1976, recently extended its reach to the US, where organizers and benefactors help provide jobs and education training to young people in need.

Anyone who knows me knows that Hailey Bieber is my style icon. I follow her on basically every social media platform, and I mean, we've dedicated a whole section to her on Who What Wear, which I scroll through regularly for inspiration. Whether it's her street style 'fits or full-on red carpet glam, the trendsetter has got it together. So when the announcement dropped that she had launched her very own collaboration with none other than Vogue Eyewear, you already know your girl was eager to shop. (Anyone who knows me—my fiancé, in particular—also knows I have an, um, slight obsession with sunglasses.) The pieces are exceptionally chic, ultra classic, and exactly what my wardrobe needs for the upcoming warm months, not that I would have expected anything less. And you can snap up the whole selection at Sunglass Hut, including an exclusive colorway that's just *chef's kiss.* Keep scrolling to shop my favorite styles from the new collection.
I love how timeless Bieber kept the entire collection. While vibrant colors and funky shapes are fun, nothing beats a classic that you can wear again and again. These rectangular frames are a true testament to that. At this point in time, the shape is as much a part of the It-girl uniform as oversize blazers and retro sneakers. This particular pair almost gives off a vintage vibe, and the smaller sizing keeps them perfectly on-trend. I'm partial to the tortoiseshell print (my love for neutrals will always prevail), but the green has a slight edge to it, which I'm completely here for. And black? Never a bad idea.
I mean, come on. These wire frames are the definition of cool-girl style. If you're going for that '90s-supermodel look, you need to snatch them up immediately. (I'm just saying.) I'm already planning multiple 'fits around them. Wear them to your next pool day with a cutout bikini and platform sandals, or wear them as an unexpected accessory with your going-out outfit. (Yes, sunglasses at night are a vibe.) Ultimately, you can't go wrong.
I'm all about the way Bieber took a traditional cat-eye style and tweaked it slightly to add her own flair. This pair just works. The elevated style will 100% be carrying me through every season. (Pro tip: A cat-eye frame is the shortcut to making an outfit that much more elegant, whether you're in workout leggings or a pretty dress.) To be honest, it's hard to choose a favorite color from this set. (Can we take a moment for this red havana color that feels both a little bit bold and completely natural at the same time?) Indeed, I will be adding all of them to my cart until further notice.
