Spring brings a lot of wonderful things: sunnier weather, flower buds, and longer, sun-drenched days. But one of the best parts about spring? The transitional weather—days that aren't too warm or too cold—is ripe for one of the easiest outfits ever: a cute dress.

The one-and-done garment is an outfit in itself and provides the perfect excuse to trade your sweats and hoodies for something a little more fun. Plus, dresses are exceptionally easy to layer. Toss on a sweater, slip on tights, or pair your maxi with boots, if you need to.

Our Top Picks

For this year's seasonal prints, you'll see many of the perennial favorites, like florals, polka dots, and stripes. But you'll also peep some new spring trends like knit textures, puff sleeves, and bright colors in the cutest spring dresses this season. There’s no shortage of special details, either—think smocking, pleats, and wrap fronts.

So whether you’re in the market for a casual boho maxi to pair with your favorite moto jacket and comfy sandals or a romantic number to rock with a denim jacket and white sneakers, there's a spring dress—from easy everyday styles to wedding-guest-appropriate options—for all different shapes, sizes, and occasions.
