Florals… for spring? Groundbreaking! No, we’re not channeling our inner Miranda Prestley for this specific time of the year (that’s something you should do all year long), but writing this post without thinking about floral prints would be a total disappointment.
Spring is probably our favorite time of the year because we get to leave our coats inside the closet and go out with little light jackets and even just our clothes, for the bravest ones. And nothing says good weather like a beautiful dress. One of the great things about dresses is that we can actually pick from a lot of options for different occasions and weathers. Spring calls for cute colors, good fabrics and of course, prints. But you don’t have to stick to florals if you don’t want, and here’s a great selection that you can wear for this festive season.
Lark & Ro Women’s Classic Cap-Sleeve Wrap Dress
Of course, we were starting this list with a floral dress… duh! And not only because of the print, but also because it’s a great silhouette. A wrap dress is every woman best friend because it has the most flattering shape for any body type. It hugs your curves and accentuates your waist in a very classic way. This dress, which you can have in over a dozen different options (including solid colors and also prints), features a cap-sleeve, adjustable self-belt, and V-neckline. The length is approximately 39” from the top of the shoulder to the bottom hem, and the fabric is 95% polyester and 5% spandex, for elasticity whenever you need it.
French Connection Women’s Spring Tim Dress
One of the great things about spring is having the chance to wear sleeves but, at the same time, not having to worry about wearing stockings or leggings. This great printed French Connection dress is simple fitted but also features a very nice contrasting couple of colors. Made out of 95% cotton and 5% elastane, it lets your skin breathe and also hugs your body, with its bodycon silhouette. And even if you think it’s a little bit too short, the sleeves and the slash neck will keep everything in balance. And one of the best things about this dress is that you don’t need to send it to the cleaner because is machine washable. Great, huh?
T Tahari Women’s Giselle Dress
Light layers dresses are perfect for those moments of the year when the weather is not too windy and not too cold but also, not too hot. And this floral dress says spring all over it, with the contrast and the black lines. It’s made out of 100% polyester and imported, with a really pretty layer of crinkle chiffon. The great thing about this dress is how versatile it can be because you can pair it with a cardigan and ankle boots for the first weeks of spring and with a pair of sandals when summer is hitting the door. A good option for every occasion.
Dolce Vita Women’s Jonah Maxi Dress
Do you know what happens a lot during spring? Weddings! And these weddings are often placed during the daytime, which calls for a very nice dress, with a ‘midi’ length and softer colors. The shell and the lining are 100% polyester and on this imported piece, the neckline and the waist are the biggest deals. The first one features a keyhole with tie closures and tassel accents and the second one is smocked and keeps the outfit easy going. It has a ruffled neck trim and if you thought this wasn’t sexy enough, look again at that high leg side slit. Do you prefer another color? You can choose the black one.
Catherine Catherine Malandrino Women’s Margie Dress
Moving on with the nice dresses that we can wear to a different number of occasions, we have the evolution of the little black dress, which you can take to next level with a delicate print. Catherine by Catherine Malandrino is the designer’s affordable line that is perfect for a lot of budgets and it keeps on the good design. It’s made out of 55% polyester, 43% rayon and 2% spandex. It’s a great option if you need to jump from the office to a dinner, too, not just for weddings. And it can also be the perfect transitional piece for winter if you pair it with the right accessories.

Paper Crown Women’s Nogales Dress
Loose silhouettes and ruffles are still a big thing in fashion. And the more we try to avoid them, the more they keep showing up in every piece of clothing we have. Luckily, ruffles have toned down from past seasons and now we only have them as little details, like the beautiful hem on this pale pink dress. The most eye-catching feature on this is the drop waist silhouette, which stands a huge difference with a lot of dresses out there. The fabric is 52% lyocell and 48% cupro. The peplum hem keeps thing flirty and adds a lot of movement to the high-low skirt. The V-neck is also super flattering and will go perfectly with a pair of maxi-earrings. Try to contrast them with the color of your dress or heels and you will have a winning outfit.

This dress, made by Rebecca Taylor, is the perfect balance between easiness and a pull together piece. The print is elegant, but the length and silhouette keep things young and playful.
