The bright days of spring have officially arrived, and my new season wardrobe is currently taking form. Light linen trousers have been secured, pretty blouses are bringing a romantic edge to my looks, but when I want a simple piece that requires little to no effort but maximum style, it’s a dress that I always turn to. As a fully-fledged dress girl, I’ve scoured the new-in sections, and now I’ve got a list of 19 spring-ready dresses that are truly worthwhile.
From the high street to high end, designers are putting their best foot forward this season when it comes to sleek dresses. Minimalists can find a series of sleek styles with refined silhouettes, while bold prints return for the maximalists out there. Hunting down the most sophisticated styles takes time, so I’ve scrolled through 1000s of dresses and analysed each to select the very best styles to see you through spring, summer and many years to come. Not to mention plenty of them can be restyled for day or evening with the swap of a sandal for a mule.
Keep scrolling for 19 of the most gorgeous dresses I’ve seen so far this year.
