Best dresses on amazon
Now, let’s take a look at some of the best dresses on Amazon that are purse friendly and will be in style for many seasons.
asymmetric hem
At 40plusstyle we love asymmetry to add a point of difference to your outfits or to create a more pleasing silhouette. The Donna Morgan dress (below) is one of the best Amazon dresses I’ve found, and comes in a choice of colors and could be worn for work or an evening out. Reviewers say it is a beautiful color, fit and fabric.

kaftan
Are you lucky enough to be heading off on a winter vacation, do you live somewhere sunny or could you put this away until summer? Then, the kaftan style dress below could be ideal. You can always add a belt to create a different look.
shirtdress
A shirtdress is always a classic, and versatile choice. You can wear the Sopliagon dress as shown below. Or, you could add a belt to create a different look, or you can wear open as a duster jacket. Reviewers say they like the fact they can style this in several different ways.
Sopliagon Cotton and Linen Shirt Dress
belted dress
If you’re looking for a dress that you can wear for lots of different occasions, the Tommy Hilfiger dress (below) could be a good option. You could wear over your bathing suit as a cover-up, you can add metallic sandals for summer, or tights and pumps for winter.
twist front dress
It can be tricky to find the perfect little black dress but the Lark & Ro ruched dress (below) could definitely be worth a try. The draping down the center should help to hide a tummy.

loose linen dress
Linen is always a good idea if you want to stay cool. I can see Dayle from Artful City Style styling this one well. Add a statement necklace to create impact.
Mordenmiss Cotton Linen Irregular Hem Dress
sleeveless dress
Another asymmetric one for you. This time with a handkerchief hem. I think this sleeveless midi dress would be a great one to pack for a summer vacation. If you need to add a little warmth, you could always add a denim or moto jacket.

floral
Wrap dresses tend to be universally flattering for all body types as they form an elongating “V” at the neckline while showing off the waist, or creating one. I also like the asymmetry on the hem of the DKNY faux wrap dress (below).
tie dye dress
The tie dye dress below is similar to one that I wore during the summer and would make a great beach cover-up. One reviewer said she doesn’t usually wear maxi dresses as she has a little bit of a belly, but she finds this style so flattering she has bought three different patterns so far.
casual dress
Another dress that would be ideal for traveling is the split maxi dress (below) which comes in a huge range of colors and patterns. Reviewers say it is comfy, casual and flowy.
Three-quarter sleeve
It can be tricky to find stylish dresses with sleeves. The handkerchief hem dress (below) has positive reviews from women who say it is beautiful, comfortable and feels good to the touch. I would wear with a statement necklace. If it’s chilly, put a short jacket over the top. I’ve listed some of my favorites under Sylvia’s picks.
Tabeez Handkerchief Hem Jersey Maxi Dress
long sleeve
Another sleeved option for you, this time with longer sleeves. The loose maxi dress (below) comes in a huge choice of colors and has 40,000+ reviews from women who say it is figure-flattering.
GRECERELLE Long Sleeve Maxi Dress
bat wing sleeve dress
The bat wing sleeve dress (below) is for those of you that love to be a bit more eccentric or like architectural style. I can see this working for Dayle or Deborah. You could wear with black leggings and booties.
YESNO JCT Bat-Wing Sleeve Dress
flowy dress
A flowy maxi dress always creates an impact, even though it is a simple style to throw on as you don’t need to worry about putting separates together. The Milumia dress (below) comes in more than 30 different prints so you’re sure to find one you like. You could wear with sandals for summer, or add tights, boots and a moto jacket for cooler weather.
Milumia Floral Split Flowy Maxi Dress
wrap dress
The wrap dress (below) from Berydress is a timeless classic. Ithas plenty of positive reviews, with one woman describing it as her favorite dress in the world, having bought it in three different colors. This would be a great option for a date night.

evening dress
If you have a more formal event to attend such as a party or wedding, the Alex Evenings dress (below) could be a good choice. The scallop neckline draws the attention upwards while it has lacey three-quarter length sleeves if you prefer to cover your upper arms.

striped dress
Moving onto a more casual choice for you now. This striped dress from Merokeety (below) is perfect for a casual day in warmer weather. Wear with your favorite sneakers.

geometric
If you want a print but aren’t keen on typical patterns like florals, then a geometric design could be the way to go. The Temofon dress (below) would be perfect with sneakers or sandals for summer.
TEMOFON Geometric V-Neck Dress
sweater dress to wear over leggings
A sweater dress is perfect for cooler weather. I like the tie waist design of the knitted sweater dress (below) but it’s a bit short for my liking, so I’d wear as a tunic with a pair of leggings or skinny jeans.
R.Vivimos Knitted Tie Waist Sweater Dress
printed dress
If you really want to create an impact, then a colorful, unusual print will definitely make a statement. The maxi dress (below) comes in a good choice of playful prints, including the tropical design shown.
LAI MENG FIVE CATS Printed Maxi Dress
boho inspired dress
If you have a bohemian style personality, then you’ll appreciate a dress with a loose, relaxed feel. The boho dress (below) would look great with booties and a short jacket.
MITILLY Boho Printed Maxi Dress
lace
For a more formal look, you could opt for a dress featuring lace. The cocktail dress (below) has 12,000+, largely positive, reviews from women who say it is a beautiful dress that fits a “mom bod”.
tummy control dress
If you do have a little bit of a tummy that you want to hide, you could think about a dress with tummy control like the fit-and-flare dress (below). Reviewers say it is slimming and comfortable.
Rekucci Fit-and-Flare Crossover Tummy Control Dress
work dress
Now, onto a dress you could wear for the office, or dress up for dinner. The buttons at the shoulders and hips give the Grace Karin dress (below) a point of difference. It comes in a good choice of colors and neutrals. One reviewer said it is her favorite dress ever while others said it is a good choice for winter weather.
GRACE KARIN Belted Pencil Dress
cocktail dress
From work to a party option, the cocktail dress (below) features long sleeves to cover up your arms, and would look good worn with opaque tights for winter events.

empire waist dress
An empire waist dress can be flattering if you want to hide a little bit of a tummy. I like the relaxed feel of the Auselily dress (below) and the pockets. You could wear with leggings or tights and boots for cooler weather, or with sneakers or sandals for summer.
AUSELILY Empire Waist Flare Dress
chiffon dress
Another option which is good for hiding a little bit of a tummy as well as for covering up your upper arms, because of the flattering asymmetric overlay. The cape dress (below) would look good with black or metallic accessories.

high/low dress
The high-low tank dress (below) is a good day-to-night option for traveling. You could wear as a beach cover-up with sandals, and then add heels and statement jewelry for evening.
Kranda High Low Tank Maxi Dress
summer dress
One for summer, or you could always wear it with a short jacket and ankle booties to add a little more warmth so you can wear it during spring and fall too. The Ecowish wrap dress (below) comes in a choice of colors and styles, but I like the asymmetric detail on the hem here.
