Spring brings warmer days, blooming flowers, and lots of special occasions to dress up for. Maybe you have a graduation right around the corner, or a jam-packed wedding season that kicks off next month. We wanted to help you look and feel your best, from flow-y floral numbers to slinky metallic stunners. There’s so much to celebrate – including how good you’re going to look! In the header, I’m wearing this floral Zimmerman statement dress and this ALC pleated halter dress. Read on for the rest of our favorite occasion wear.
Wrap yourself up like a present with this peony pink France Valentine wrap dress. The crisp collar and long sleeves have a retro vibe, but the bow keeps it fun. Tory Burch has been looking really good lately, and their summer dresses are no different. I love this cotton sundress with a geometric print that looks like something out of an Italian cathedral, or this silky shirtdress that reminds me of a vintage Hermes or Gucci scarf. Both would look just as good at a wedding as at Mother’s Day brunch, or a graduation lunch.
There’s something undeniable Southern about a big floral garden party dress, which is maybe why Tuckernuck does them so well. The high-neck and tie-waist on this hydrangea print dress keeps it from being too sweet, while this romantic blue Florentine dress silhouette is unabashedly feminine.
Maybe you have a wedding on the horizon that’s less garden party, more black tie. We have some options for you too! I’m picturing this colorful, abstract COS maxi dress at an art museum with slicked back hair and fun accessories. Staud’s navy organza shirt dress is a great way to show some skin while keeping your arms covered up, if that’s something you’re worried about. And J.Crew’s higher-end Collection continues to impress, like with this slightly sparkly floral dress that you could dress up for a gala or down for a garden.
