You don’t have to shop at boutiques to know the vibe. The clothing and accessories are classy, luxe and timeless, especially the spring and summer pieces. Dresses from European boutiques are a different echelon of chic, combining sophisticated elements with a rich, effortlessly refined aesthetic that feels intentional.
Dresses from boutiques in Santorini, Milan, Paris, Barcelona, Portofino and related cities are hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars, but we found 18 expensive-looking sundresses that match the exact vibe — without the credit-crushing price tag. These quiet luxury picks are timeless, comfy and flattering on every body type.
