30 Best Dresses For Spring Occasions

We’re starting with a classic; the little black dress. She’s petite, she’s sexy and she’s everybody's favourite. If you’re after something bolder and brighter, don’t be afraid to experiment with colour, it is the season to do so, after all. Mini dresses are our pick here but only keep the length as short as you feel comfortable in; it’s never a good time when your fashion choice gets in the way of dancing to your fav tune. 

Think playful but tasteful. We love a fun mini or midi dress for this occasion. Depending on your vibe, you could go a deep V or high neckline; whichever makes you feel your most confident. Cut-outs add that extra little bit of fun and so do pops of colour. A pair of kitten heels or sculptural mules is the perfect way to finish your date night fit – and won’t have you stressed if they suggest a post-dinner stroll.

A formal occasion calls for a formal dress; this season, it’s all about midi and strapless maxi dresses. If you’re more of a minimalist, a vintage-inspired slip dress with romantic accents is it for you. The best thing about this silhouette is that it probably comes in all your favourite colours, so why settle for one when you can have three on regular rotation? Get creative with your styling and let fine gold jewellery and heels do all the talking. If you’re after something a little more OTT, look for evening dresses with structure and detailing, like statement sleeves, asymmetrical designs, prints and embellishments.

Welcome to Tomato Girl spring, where breezy prairie dresses and Mediterranean-inspired accessories are the moment. Keep it simple with sun dresses in solid shades from AERE, Oroton or Forever New, and let a straw tote or designer sunglasses do the talking. A maximalist at heart? An Alemais dress should be (and probably is already) at the top of your shopping list. The label’s latest collection is brimming with bold prints inspired by geometric interpretations of nature – and when a dress doubles as a wearable work of art, you know it’s worth the investment.
