Boho Summer Dresses Under $700
Boho summer dresses are the easiest way to feel put-together when it's hot out, and the good news is you don't need to spend a lot to get the real thing. Whether you want something you can throw on with sandals or a dress that actually feels special, there's a version here for you. The key is finding the right fabric weight and neckline for your frame and the occasions you actually wear dresses to. Let's find yours.
How to choose boho summer dresses
Start by thinking about fit: do you want something that skims your body or something with more structure? Boho dresses live in fabrics like cotton, linen, lace, and rayon, and heavier blends hold their shape better if you prefer that. Consider sleeve length and neckline too—a square neck or off-shoulder style reads more intentional than a simple crew, and three-quarter sleeves give you more flexibility across seasons. Finally, think about whether you'll wear it year-round (neutral, versatile cut) or as a special-occasion piece (texture, print, detail-forward).

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between boho and regular summer dresses?
Boho dresses usually have details like lace, embroidery, smocking, or prints that feel handmade or artisanal, and they tend to favor flowing, relaxed silhouettes over body-con fits. The fabrics lean natural (cotton, linen, rayon) and often have texture. Regular summer dresses can be anything—boho is a specific aesthetic that feels romantic and a little undone.
Will these dresses wrinkle? Do they need special care?
Most of these are cotton or linen blends, so yes, some wrinkle is part of the look—that's actually part of the boho vibe. Hang-dry when you can; machine wash is fine. If you want to avoid wrinkles entirely, look for blends with more synthetic content, but you'll lose some of that natural texture and breathability.
Can I wear boho dresses if I'm taller or have a larger frame?
Absolutely. Look for midi lengths (which hit differently depending on your height and create their own proportion), structured fabrics that hold shape, and fitted bodices with room in the skirt. The smocking and ruching styles are especially good because they create definition. Try Hill House, FARM Rio, and Another Girl for the most forgiving cuts.
