If there's one clothing item that's synonymous with spring, it's the little white dress. Every year, the moment the weather allows, fashion people return to their collections of little white dresses with the same enthusiasm as their trench coats in the fall. It's a fashion rite of passage. After months of heavy coats and layers, the little white dress is a welcome breath of fresh air.
The little white dress (LWD, if you will) is the warm-weather version of the LBD—that versatile piece you can always count on for endless styling possibilities. Now that the weather is finally starting to feel like spring, LWDs are quite literally all I can think about. Visions of delicate embroidery, pointelle, eyelet, and lace are top of mind right now, so I turned to my favorite retailers in search of chic white dresses for the season ahead. Below are the best little white dresses from Nordstrom, H&M, and Revolve—from breezy linen maxis to lightweight cotton minis.
