As the days get longer and the air gets warmer, hemlines are rising and shoulders are being bared. Spring and the sartorial staples that come with it are officially here.
After watching our Northern Hemisphere counterparts stylishly parade around in spaghetti strap styles and sultry mini dresses the past few months while wrapped up in coats and jeans, we couldn’t be more thrilled to embrace warmer weather and the styles that come with it.
Flowy, comfortable, and weather appropriate dresses—in all shapes and styles—form the base of our springtime wardrobes. We’ve found the best spring dresses to shop right now.
What To Wear With A Dress In Spring?
One of our favourite traits of the perfect spring dress the ability to hold its own—there’s no need for accessories or additional assets to make this piece shine, simply throw on and go.
As for shoes, spring dresses can be paired with virtually anything, depending on their shape and style. We love a mini dress and sneakers or even a cowboy boot, while midi and maxi styles look great with a strappy sandal.

What dresses are trending for spring 2024?
Florals are always on trend for spring. But this year, denim, leopard print and shirred cotton designs are topping our wishlists. Look out for earthy hues like chocolate brown and sage green.
What style of dress should I buy for spring?
The secret to spring dresses is to look for pieces that work in both cooler and warmer environments. For example, a shirt dress cut in a mid-weight denim can be paired with boots or sandals. Similarly, slip dress can be layered with a cardigan or button-down shirt if you need something to cover your shoulders.
