24 Spring Dresses To Jump-Start Your New Season Wardrobe
Once spring truly starts springing, a whole world of possibilities opens up for your wardrobe. Suddenly, you no longer have to trudge (in winter boots) or bundle up (in blanket scarves). Instead, you might feel inclined to waft… although not quite because this is still the UK. Still, a spring dress is just right for the “in between” or “transitional” months: cool enough for unexpectedly balmy moments, and ideal for layering when the weather inevitably reverts to grey.
The best spring dresses, according to Vogue
A good spring dress balances playfulness with practicality: choose one with sleeves, a maxi hemline, or that can be easily layered over a polo neck or under a jumper. Studio Nicholson’s Blanca dress is a great example. Made from minimal matelassé, its relaxed proportions – with an elongated silhouette and roomy sleeves – make it something of a multitasker. Wear it with a roll-neck, ribbed wool tights and one of the brand’s elegant puffer coats in early spring, then gradually shed your layers as the weather gets warmer – it will look great paired with leather fisherman’s sandals when the time comes.
A tunic is another brilliant spring dress option, particularly as you can wear them over trousers – a smart option for the office if they’re sharply tailored, or ideal for the weekend if they’re denim. A shirt dress that isn’t waisted but subtly A-line, meanwhile, looks chic over any kind of pants, with the addition of a pointed ankle boot.
