Finally—it's safe to say the days of wearing tights under our dresses are over. Meaning that our closets are craving fresh new pieces. Breezy dresses, printed skirts, and unexpected color schemes are just a few of the trends we're jumping at the chance to test out. But with so many seasonal styles inundating us, it can feel overwhelming to start shopping for a new spring wardrobe. (FYI—your starter pack to our favorite trends right now is just a click away.)

Luckily for you, I found a secret way to cut straight to the best spring dresses that the internet has to offer. It all comes down to using this one search phrase when online shopping. And it pretty much works on every site from Zara to Net-a-Porter. Hint: You'll want a spring dress with sleeves, so you can actually start wearing it ASAP. I found that by searching "puff sleeve" or "puffy sleeve" and "dress" on my go-to shopping sites, what manifested was the prettiest, breeziest selection of dresses that instantly put me in a springy state of mind. From lightweight linen dresses to Victorian-inspired designs, you'll want to live in all the below styles all through the summer. I went ahead and shopped the coolest dresses that my search found. Just add strappy sandals or sleek mules and you've nailed this spring trend.

Now you're ready to nail the puffy-sleeve dress trend this spring.
