It's no secret that we're big on dresses at the moment. Just this month, we've waxed lyrical about M&S' affordable spring dresses, riffed on the celeb-approved catalogue at Rixo and encouraged you to add a polka dot dress to your rotation. And now, I'm back here to talk to you about one more brand I adore for spring dresses: Anthropologie.
If you've kept a close watch on fashion trends in the last few years, you're probably familiar with Anthropologie's smorgasbord of fashionable pieces. Chief among them, the could-be Bottega Veneta bag that took over all our algorithms last year. As it turns out, the brand also comes on top when it comes to finding the best dresses no matter your style. Whether you're after a slinky slip dress for a formal event, brightly patterned midis for everyday wear or a crocheted creation meant for carefree beachside lounging, you'll find it scrolling through Anthropologie's new spring dress selection.
That said, the seemingly endless lineup of stellar pieces can get a bit overwhelming. So how do you avoid sacrificing your entire evening scrolling through the site? Well, to start with, consider some of the brand's bestsellers that have taken Instagram by storm this spring already. Case in point, the Gracie Cowl-Neck Maxi Slip Dress. The elegant maxi slip dress has a cowl neck and thicker shoulder straps than usual, making it bra-friendly. While we've been eying the chocolate brown iteration with blurred floral motifs all-over, the dress is also available in a solid black design for a more minimalistic take.

With warm days finally here, it's not long before the weddings and garden parties you RSVP'd yes to come along. The Gracie is a great investment for those formal spring occasions thanks to its breezy silhouette that'll keep you cool while the vivid florals lend a polished finish. Accessorise with a gold cuff, statement earrings and some sleek sunglasses for a sophisticated daytime look.
Another favourite amongst stylish influencers recently is the Tobie Dress. A chic shirt dress detailed with a cinched pleated waist, the internet is taken with every variation of the Tobie dress. Whether you're after the maxi, mini, or linen and denim iterations, each shirt dress is available in petite, regular and plus sizes.
