The onset of spring can be a challenging time to put together the perfect outfit. With some days being chilly and others warm, you’ll want a few spring dresses that are versatile enough to wear with a cardigan or blazer but also breezy and comfortable for the sunny days. To help you navigate the season’s latest dress trends, I wanted to break down some of the styles I’m loving most. It’s probably obvious that I’ve been into bold and bright hues. Color is such a fun way to boost your mood and breathe new life into your wardrobe. On the opposite end of the spectrum, I’m also loving the little white dress – it’s a staple in any spring wardrobe. With so many options to choose from this season, trust me when I say it’s easy to find something that fits your style and personality. You’re sure to find something that will elevate your style game whether you opt for a voluminous dress, a slinky slip, or floor-sweeping maxi.

Sheer Dresses
Sheer details are also set to make a comeback this season. While I love mesh, tulle and chiffon detailing for that ethereal sheer look, lace is a great way to add a sweeter and more elegant touch to your overall look.

Voluminous Dresses
Voluminous dresses are perfect for spring. They’re light and airy, and the billowy silhouette gives you that effortless, bohemian vibe. Look for dresses with ruffles, tiers, and oversized sleeves. A great example is this cutout floral mini from Astr the Label. It’s so flirty and feminine – just perfect for teaming with your favorite platform heels.

Maxi Dresses
Maxi dresses are always a great option for spring. They’re flowy and comfortable, yet still look put-together. In addition to being comfortable and chic, maxi dresses are also easy to accessorize. A statement necklace or pair of earrings can easily spruce up a maxi, while a pair of sandals or wedges can complete the look.

Vibrant Dresses
Bold colors are in full swing for spring, and there are a few standout shades that are particularly on-trend this season. First up is green, which is making a splash in every shade from vibrant lime to deep forest. I love how it adds a refreshing pop to any wardrobe and is a perfect complement to the natural scenery of the season. Another color that’s sure to turn heads is hot pink, a bold and playful hue that’s impossible to miss. Whether in a form-fitting sheath or a flowing maxi dress, this shade is perfect for making a statement. And of course, pastels are always a classic choice for spring.

Tube Dresses
Tube dresses are a great choice for warmer weather. They’re versatile and can be dressed up with heels and minimal jewelry or down with flat sandals and a linen shirt.

Satin Dresses
Satin dresses are a luxurious option for spring. They’re perfect for dressier occasions, but can also be styled casually with a denim jacket or sweater. If you want to take the basic slip dress look to another level, look for lingerie-like silhouettes with lace detailing.
