Happy cool girl spring, everyone.
Spring dresses are the ultimate option for easy dressing in the newly (or perhaps future) warm weather, as they are simple to style with sandals and sunglasses or dress up with some heels and a leather jacket on a more chilly night out.
Whether you love florals, polka dots, a whisper of pastels or a real splash of color, there are styles for everyone. Aside from the pattern and fabric, you can go short with a mini-dress, keep it classic with a midi-length or feel like a goddess in a floor-length maxi, all in a range of prices, as well. There are also options for long-sleeve, sleeveless, tight or flowing — really the choice is yours.
We compiled a list of our favorites from all styles for this upcoming spring, coming in quickly on the backs of the last winter winds. Take a look at our picks, and then browse through the brand’s other offerings as well to stock your closet before spring and summer end and we are back wearing boring pants and jackets.
