Data is always subject to interpretation, but it is more than significant. For this reason, verifying that the search for discount dresses yields millions of results can be read as an unavoidable interest on the part of the public for this category. Not surprisingly, it always appears in a prominent position in 'e-commerce', and it is usually one of the companies that leaves the most profits in 'online' businesses for a simple reason: it is easy for the crush to occur through the screen, a handicap that, why lie, the pants (for example) have not yet managed to overcome. And yes, there are many sales dresses, almost as many as there are people in the world, but not all of them can turn out to be a good investment. Because although consumption is driven largely by desire and a certain urgency (one sponsored by the production and sale system, but that is another matter), that does not mean that it is irresponsible or directly wasteful: there are purchases that are a good opportunity (and more accessible) for the pocket thanks to the discounts that can be found here and now. And in terms of dresses, these are some of them.

A (sale) dress with bows

Short white dress with bow detail, by Self-Portrait at Net-A-Porter (previously €400; now €280) .

You'll like it if... you already have a 'little black dress' in your wardrobe and you were thinking of investing in its opposite.

It's worth it for... its different pattern, which adds a point of surprise to a type of dress that, otherwise, can be taken for granted.

A (sale) dress with 'cut-outs'

Black dress with side slits, by Cult Gaia at Net-A-Porter (was €530, now €265) .

You'll like it if... you have a good collection of black dresses and you're looking to explore a more 'sexy' version without falling into the (very) obvious.

It's worth it because... it turns out to be a wardrobe that is out of the ordinary. Finding pieces that age well producing an inescapable crush is not easy.

A dress (on sale) with the approval of Victoria Beckham

Short satin dress, by Victoria, Victoria Beckham at Net-A-Porter (was €635, now €317.50) .

You'll like it if... you're looking for a short satin dress that isn't a canonical 'slip dress' and fits the parameters of everyday life.

It's worth it because... it turns out to be a piece that, despite the shine of its fabric, can be easily combined with other 'casual' garments and accessories to give it even more use.

A (sale) polka dot dress

Long dress with puffed sleeves and polka dots, by SEA in Net-A-Porter (before, €520; now, €260).

You'll like it if... you love this pattern but you don't know how to reinvent it without always looking like the same type of dress.

It's worth it for... being a 'rare bird', since it is not usual to see polka dots appear on a garment with a romantic silhouette.

A (sale) party dress that is different

Long dress with a halter neckline, by Norma Kamali in Mythersa (before, €130; now, €91) .

You'll like it if... you're tired of sequins and black for evening events.

It's worth it for... its simplicity, because it is a guarantee of versatility and that it will (almost) always be in fashion.

An undeniable (sale) dress

Short dress with thin straps, by Rotate in Mytheresa (before, €160; now, €112) .

You'll like it if... you still haven't found that perfect black dress that saves you from a thousand and one situations.

It's worth it for... being a lifesaver. There is no look that a 'little black dress' with nods to the minimalism of the 90s cannot solve.

A (sale) dress for absolutely everything

Long knit dress, by Lemaire at Mytheresa (before, €180; now, €126) .

You'll like it if... you don't get tired of simple garments that you can accessorize in a thousand and one ways, while leaving them spotless and having a polished look.

It's worth it for... making it easy for you to face the wardrobe on a day-to-day basis: it's the perfect resource for when you don't know what to wear.

A (sale) shirt dress that is not classic

Shirt dress with slit, by Significant Other in Moda Operandi (was €288, now €144).

You'll like it if... you adore clothing with a sartorial bent but want to escape the classic aftertaste that it treasures at times.

It's worth it because... because it is possible to imagine it both in a summer context and in an event here and now (with the right accessories).

A (sale) knitted dress with a hedonistic spirit

Knitted dress with opening on the back, by Alexis at Moda Operandi (before, €360; now, €180) .

You'll like it if... you love knitted dresses and want to add a twist to your little (or not so little) collection.

It's worth it for... having details that place it on a more sensual level, such as the open back or flared sleeves.

A dress (on sale) that is almost a sweater

Sleeveless dress in blue, from & Other Stories (was €89, now €45) .

You'll like it if... you can't live without a sweater, whatever the season.

It's worth it because... it's a comfortable dress to say the least, and much more versatile than it may seem a priori. The key is in the overlaps.
