Dresses from $59
You already know the difference between a dress that has to carry a whole season and one that only has to work once, and outlet dresses are the honest place to shop for the second kind. There is a date in the diary and one room to walk into, which narrows things quickly. Sequin minis and midis for that, a knit crew or a hoodie dress for the quieter end. So the question is narrow: is this for the one night you have in mind, or for the run of the summer?
