Sometimes, all you want to wear is a pair of leggings and a sweatshirt. But in warmer months, there's a comfier, more polished alternative: maxi dresses! They feel like an old-school nightgown, but unlike your trusty sweats, they make you look put-together (even if you just woke up, slipped a dress over your head and called it a day). If you want the trifecta — that is, a dress that's comfortable, stylish and flattering, we've got you. We browsed Kohl's and found 10 flowy maxi dresses that check all three boxes.
Better yet, these dresses are on sale (all under $50!) when you use code SAVE15 at checkout through May 11. You'll also earn $10 in Kohl's Cash with every $50 spent and free standard shipping on purchases over $49. You can score deals on top brands like Reese Witherspoon's Draper James, LC Lauren Conrad, Simply Vera by Vera Wang and more.
Ready to level up your warm-weather wardrobe? They might be marked down, but these affordable styles will make you feel like a bajillion dollars.
This romantic tiered dress accentuates the waist with ruching all around, a full A-line skirt and slightly puffed sleeves. It comes in five styles, including this solid green, light blue and three floral prints.
If it looks familiar, you may be on something — it's similar to Anthropologie's popular Somerset Dress, which costs a cool $168. We love getting the look for less!
This feminine, flirty floral sundress (try saying that three times fast!) is just what your wardrobe needs. You can wear it with sneakers during the day, with heels to work or with sandals out to dinner.
There's a drawstring at the waist so you can customize the fit — tighten it up on days when you want to accentuate your curves or keep it loose and forgiving. It looks good either way.
This flattering dress is more of a midi than a maxi, but we love it all the same. It comes in three colors (pink, denim and a floral print), and it has a zipper in the front, so you can put it on with ease even after you do your hair and makeup. So practical!
The elastic waist and light shoulder pads help create an hourglass shape, and it pairs equally well with heels, sandals or ballet flats. No matter how you style it, get ready for compliments.
This dress also looks a whole lot like Anthropologie's popular Tommie Shirt Dress, but it's a fraction of the price.
We love a wrap dress! Why? They accentuate the waist and they offer a more adjustable fit. Hey, our bodies fluctuate from day to day — no shame — and this type of dress is ready for it.
This stretchy rayon number features a gorgeous floral print and a ruffled hem. Wear it under your go-to jean jacket with heels for a night out, with sneakers for a daytime outing or with sandals for anything in between.
We know, we know. "Florals for spring? Groundbreaking." But florals and prints can help hide anything you may feel a bit insecure about. Just slip this dress on and go out with your most confident self! This maxi has ruffles at the shoulders and a big one on the hem, as well as a matching tie belt.
Pro tip: Instead of the included sash, use your own leather belt in white, tan or brown to take this dress to the next level. It will define your waist even more and make you look like a style expert.
Another wrap dress — and in a floral print? We love to see it! This one is great if you have a dressier occasion coming up, thanks to its crinkle chiffon fabric. Wear it to a casual wedding or out for a special dinner with heels.
If you're not a floral gal, it also comes in an adorable navy and white polka dot print. (Psst: Polka dots are trending this spring!)
This dress adds a little va va-va-voom to your warm-weather wardrobe, thanks to its bustier-like seaming on the top. However, its full skirt is also flattering, and we appreciate its adjustable tie straps.
The darling blue and white belle toile print is totally on trend too. Wear this one if you're trying to impress someone — or you just want to feel like your best girly self.
This is what you might think of when you hear the word "sundress." It has little ruffles, a full skirt, elastic at the waist and a small bow — yep, totally feminine. Plus, gingham prints are big this year, and this green one feels so fresh.
Like many LC Lauren Conrad items, this dress comes in plus sizes and petite sizes. The standard sizes seem to be sold out already.
A shirt dress is a closet staple — not to mention a "rich mom" style mainstay — because you can wear it for so many occasions. Wear it to work, out to lunch or anywhere that you want to feel fabulously put together.
This one has an elastic tie at the waist and buttons all the way down. Choose from three prints, all of which will look elegant on their own or paired with a jean jacket, cardigan or blazer on a chilly evening.
Sometimes you don't need a dress to accentuate your waistline to flatter it. This linen-blend maxi fits like a shift and flows as you walk. And bonus points: It has pockets!
This black and white dress feels timeless enough to wear for years to come, but it comes in two bolder prints if you want to stand out a bit more.
Sometimes jeans and a T-shirt just won't do, but these adorable dresses are every bit as comfy. (Kohl's)
