It finally doesn't feel like a chore to be outside! And accordingly, I've already swapped out my heavy-duty coats and wool sweaters in favor of lightweight jackets and easy-open knits. But more than those pieces, the real star of the warm weather season is the dress. Other than the fact that it's the ultimate time-saver, there's a magic of being out in the sun with a dress that other clothes can't recreate. Thankfully, I've got plenty of options to make that dream happen.
As a person extremely into dresses, I tend to flag and bookmark the ones I come across that truly wow me. The folder has been steadily growing since December—and even more so now with the arrival of spring-summer runway collections finally hitting stores. For some context, chiffon ruffles and lace details are two key trends that are all throughout my list of dress saves. But I'm also an equal opportunist when it comes to style so there are plenty of minimalist dresses and more bohemian ones too. Ahead, keep scrolling to see all of the spring dresses I'm itching to wear at this very moment.
