I Wear Dresses Every Day – Here Are The 50 Best Spring Dresses You’ll Want To Wear On Repeat

Hannah Banks-Walker, head of fashion commerce: 'Dôen has long been a celebrity favourite brand that counts Kylie Jenner, Alexa Chung and Dakota Johnson as fans. I've loved the brand's nostalgic aesthetic since 2016 and this Black Ischia Dress has been a repeat favourite since 2021. I was initially worried that it wouldn't be super-flattering for bigger boobs but, actually, I found that it fit really well. You can adjust the tie at the bust so it would work for all sizes – it's comfortable, chic and genuinely suits everyone. No wonder it's a best-seller.'

The Nobody's Child Starlight dress is something of a cult-favourite on the internet thanks to its flattering A-line silhouette with puff sleeves and a cinched waist. Unlike the midi options, this short dress is perfect for petite, regular and tall body types alike while the butter yellow shade is as trendy as it gets and can be styled with everything from trainers and boots to flip flops and strappy kitten heels. Word of warning, it's selling fast so we'd suggest you skip the hesitation and add this one to cart immediately.

While a few brands offer specific dresses for petites, as Grazia's commerce writer Gemma Lavers proves, you really can't go wrong with a shift dress. This H&M mini is cut for an A-line fit, meaning it fits comfortably and is easy to style. Gemma's bold red dress is great for a touch of dopamine dressing, but if your style is more neutral, consider the black or long-sleeved beige iterations instead.

River Island has a great collection of dresses specifically made for petites. This trendy animal print maxi is universally flattering thanks to its straight fir and high neck. Because the dress is designed for shorter frames, it hits the ankles just right, creating the illusion of length. Style it with cowboy boots for a Western touch or with the matching cow print trainers for a tonal look.

Hitanshi Kamdar, senior commerce writer: 'I bought this bright orange Monki dress on a whim last month and it's already become a staple. What I love most about this dress (apart from the bold colour), is its boat neck silhouette and wavy trims along the hems which lend a playful edge to the mini. It features a slight flare and sits comfortably on the body without being too clingy. Given there's still a chill in the air, I've been wearing it with tights, boots and a trench coat or over jeans for a nostalgic Y2K look. Come summer, it'll pair well with the best trainers to wear with dresses and ballet flats.'

Considering this printed midi dress is one of M&S' top bestsellers this spring, it's a very safe bet indeed. Crafted with pure cotton, the dress features an all-over floral print and gently puffed three-quarter length sleeves. The V-neck and elasticated waist add a feminine touch while the olive and sky blue colour palette is vibrant. Style with basic flat sandals and a shoulder bag to let the dress do the talking.

Beauty editor Rachael Martin demonstrates the appeal of a classic black dress for an evening event. This Zara midi comes with a flattering square neckline and a flared hem that adds the illusion of length, making it ideal for petite body types. Take your styling cues from Rachel and pair the dress with simple black heels and statement earrings for a formal event. Alternatively, it'll also pair well with chunky wedges and sunglasses for an outdoor evening soirée.

Reiss has long been a fashion editor-favourite destination for elegant and timeless designs crafted with premium fabrics. Case in point, this elevated satin slip dress. Designed with a sleek fitted torso, the dress features a tuck detail at the waist and a flared asymmetric midi hem for a flouncy finish. Also available in a petite length, the Zoey dress offers a modern twist on the 90s slip dress trend and makes evening dressing a breeze – simply add strappy heels and a beaded bag.

From royalty and senior politicians to Hollywood stars, British label ME+EM is the go-to destination for well-dressed women everywhere. The brand has an array of functional and flattering work dresses on offer this season, including this pale blue maxi. Made comfortable thanks to its cotton construction, shirred bodice and tired skirt, the dress also features a zip neckline for an adjustable and customisable look. Relaxed, modest and chic, it'll be your best office companion for spring/summer 2025 and beyond, with or without a blazer.

Uniqlo has been a great high street gem for elevated basics. This linen-blend shirt dress is perfectly chic and timeless for the office. Cut for a loose fit, the dress features a panelled waist for structure and an all-over gingham print. Wear with ballet flats and a shoulder bag or style with boat shoes and a knit thrown across the shoulders for a relaxed, preppy look.

While not exactly mandated, florals are always a good idea if you're attending a spring wedding. This sage green dress from Sister Jane is now sold out, but I'm eying the similarly pretty and subtly dramatic maxi from the brand for upcoming weddings this season. The floral jacquard fabric makes a subtle yet striking statement while the puff sleeves and ruffled hem add a romantic flourish. All of which to say you can keep the styling simple with strappy sandals, statement earrings and a beaded clutch bag.

If you'd rather opt for a more minimalist style, consider a silky slip dress. Reminiscent of sexy 90s styles, & Other Stories' sleeveless satin midi comes in an array of delicious spring shades including this icy blue. While the glossy satin hangs beautifully on the body, the classic slip dress can also be styled up or down. Whether you wear it with high heels and stacks of diamond studded pieces or with ballet flats and dainty jewels for a less formal occasion, this is a dress that can do no wrong.

A shift dress has long been the fashion editor's most recommended silhouette for an easy day-to-night transition. M&S' elegant mini is crafted from a linen-blend fabric in a blue shade that looks remarkably like denim. Cut for a regular fit with a square neckline and adjustable shoulder straps, the lightweight dress skims the upper thighs. Style it with loafers and a cardigan for a preppy look.

Sézane's understated Parisian elegance lends itself well to wardrobe staples that work hard through the day and across seasons. Take, for example, this chocolate brown shirt dress. Crafted with silk, the midi polk dot dress is cut with a subtle A-line flare and features a flattering panelled waist for definition. Whether you wear it with strappy sandals and a raffia bag in the day or with high heels and lashings of gold jewellery in the evening, you'll find yourself relying on the Solar dress for every formal occasion this spring and beyond.

Apart from looking exactly like much more expensive Rixo dress, this floral midaxi dress is the perfect sunshine-ready floral design to make a statement at your next garden party. As Grazia's Rachael Martin confirms, the dress is 'the ultimate figure flatterer' with its nipped in waist and straight skirt that lightly skims across the tummy. Finished with lace inserts at the shoulder and cuffs for a romantic touch, the powder blue dress is incredibly easy to style and will be your best sartorial weapon for all spring/summer occasions for years to come.

Not one for florals? Consider opting for a textured design instead, like this broderie anglaise midi from H&M. The cutwork embroidery is practically synonymous with summer while the tie straps on the shoulder and scalloped hem add a unique feminine flourish. Whether you opt for the powder pink shade or the bright blue iteration, simply pair it with ballet flats or sandals and pearl earrings to match the shoulder straps for an elegant look.

Damson Madder excels at whimsical prints and sunny staples. We've already waxed lyrical about its Goldie dress (which has sold out multiple times now), and now the brand's new summer collection has introduced our next favourite. Made with organic cotton, the playful Lilo dress featured a shirred bust with bow-tie details and a vibrant polka dot print. The best part about the dress is that it can also be styled as a midi skirt with the matching bikini, making it ideal for beach days.

No one does bold prints quite like Farm Rio. The Brazilian brand embodies lively Brazilian culture with bright colours, playful prints and craft-infused pieces. Add this mini tunic dress to cart for your next tropical escape. Cut for a relaxed fit for effortless movement, the dress is printed with floral and palm tree motifs in a cool blue palette. Wear with strappy flats, a floppy sun hat and sunglasses for the perfect resortwear look White Lotus vibes, anyone?

Hitanshi Kamdar, senior commerce writer: 'This WYSE London dress has been my staple through the seasons. The shirred bodice is flattering for bigger boobs while the A-line skirt is incredibly slimming. I love the graphic monochrome take on florals that's instantly refined and works well for the office. Whether you style it with Chelsea boots and a winter coat while the temperature is still chilly or with sandals and a fresh blowout for a summer weekend, I can attest to the dress' versatile appeal.'

Now this Rixo dress may be a bit of an investment but its romantic silhouette, silk construction and flouncy ruffled details promise excellent cost per wear. The vintage-inspired dress is perfect for special occasions and even makes for an excellent wedding guest outfit when paired with heeled sandals and dainty gold jewellery.

Part of the more fashion-forward H&M Studio offering, this floral chiffon dress is an elegant take on classic spring florals. The loose-fit sheer chiffon dress is unlined for a flowy and seductive look with an all-over contrasting floral pattern, gathered seams, voluminous sleeves and double-layered ties at the back adding a dramatic touch. Style this one with minimalist black accessories to let the bold print do the talking.

Reformation's dress selection is excellent (just ask Taylor Swift) – and we're currently obsessed with this dainty floral mini. The perfect blend of retro and playful thanks to its curved boatneck design, micro mini length, and clustered daisy print, the A-line dress is a great addition to your warm weather wardrobe. Lean into the retro vibe with Mary Janes and a headband or keep it contemporary with some trendy Puma Speedcats and a denim jacket.

Just because your tastes lean towards minimalism doesn't mean you can't have fun with spring dresses. Skip the busy patterns for an interesting silhouette, like this drop-waist dress from Mango. Commerce writer Christina Geggus is a fan of the cinched waist that adds structure without being too tight. Designed to resemble a skirt and top combo, it's the ideal dress to take you from day to night with ease – just add some statement hoops and a classic shoulder bag (we're fans of M&S' woven bags)

For a minimal take on dopamine dressing, opt for this butter yellow linen-blend dress from COS. The lightweight dress is cut for a straight body-skimming fit with an elasticated back for comfort while the asymmetrically twisted halter neckline adds a subtle unique touch. Layer with a matching butter yellow blazer to work or with a trench coat for a Saturday out in the city.

Marks & Spencer dresses are always trendy, well-made and budget-friendly. We're currently loving this polka dot skater dress from the high street brand. The ruffled mini comes with long sleeves and can be easily dressed up or down depending on the occasion. We'd style it with kitten heels for a garden party to make an easy statement.

Who says occasionwear has to cost a lot? Zara has some brilliant options that'd be perfectly at home at a spring wedding - like this satin V-neck midi that channels 90s chic with its slim fit and all-over bold floral print. Wear with heeled sandals, a beaded clutch and dainty jewels for a romantic look.

An A-list favourite, Self-Portrait is a great brand for occasionwear thanks to its effortlessly feminine design language which features eye-catching embellishments such as ruffles, rhinestone trims and crystal bows. While my red off-shoulder midi dress is low in stock, I'm a fan of this lilac crystal-embellished midi. While the flared knee-length silhouette lends it old-world elegance, the keyhole ribbed bodice and crystal-embellished neckline ultimately make it a contemporary and playful choice for your next summer party.

You really can't go wrong with a floral shirt dress for spring, and Erdem's linen style is as perfect as it gets. Cut for a slightly loose fit for comfort, it comes with a tie belt at the waist to add structure while the vivid painterly flowers are delicate and feminine. Thanks to its midi length, it's great for work when paired with sensible heels or wear it with some tall wedges to brunches and garden parties this summer.

The boho chic resurgence can be largely credited to Chemena Kamali's Chloé and Sienna Miller. But if you'd rather not spend a small fortune on your boho dresses this spring, this ruffled maxi from M&S is remarkably similar to Chloé's floaty designs. The drapey dress is enhanced with a nipped-in waisted design and detailed with ruffles along the neckline, cuffs and waist. Wear with Cowboy bots or wedge sandals. Layered necklaces and wavy hair not mandated, but highly recommended.

Zara's new-in section is packed with a great collection of bohemian dresses. Our favourite? This paisley printed maxi with a smocked waist, ruffled hem and cuff and V-neck with tie details. Infused with a slight shimmer thanks to the metallic thread detailing, this dress works well with chunky belts and straps bohemian flats.

Hitanshi Kamdar, senior commerce writer: 'While my exact slip dress from All Saints is now sold out, the brand has quite a few slip dresses that work well for larger busts. The Hadley midi is crafted from olive green stain and shaped with a slight cowl neck that's comfortable for larger boobs without being too revealing thanks to the adjustable shoulder straps. Ideal for spring weddings and date nights alike, you can even get away with styling this one for a work event with a blazer on top.'

While shirt dresses are the perfect spring choice for the office, those with larger busts often struggle with pesky button gaps at the chest. Enter, the wrap dress. This polka dot midi from & Other Stories is a great desk to drinks option thanks to its flattering wrap waits, V-neckline, asymmetric hem and gentle flounce. Wear with everything from trainers and boots to strappy sandals and ballet flats.

Recently featured on The White Lotus, Monday Swimwear boasts something of a cult following in beachwear spheres. The Montego crochet dress has been inescapable on Instagram lately, and for good reason. The crochet knit dress features a plunging neckline with gold ring detailing and high side seam slits that make for a glamorous coverup on the beach or by the pool. You could also style the sheer dress over a matching slip for a seductive dinner look on holiday.

If you've had the vividly printed styles from Alemais or Farm Rio on your moodboard but wanted to avoid the three figure price tag, Next's slip dress offers a similar vibe for much less. The lightweight straight-fit dress is covered in tropical fruits and plants and will pair well with flip flops to the beach or with strappy boho sandals around the resort for your next holiday.

You may know Hill House Home from its viral Nap dresses but the brand excels at other silhouettes too. This tiered shirt dress is printed with an elegant botanical trellis motif and features elasticated puff sleeves as well as a removable belt at the waist. With the flowy skirt and dainty florals adding a vintage touch, this is a dress that'll take you from work and weekend brunches to dinners and even garden parties this summer. Lean into the old-world charm with the matching Belle Bow.

If you're after a more seductive vintage look, 90s slip dresses are the way to go. This floral print style from Anthropologie is cut for a body-skimming silhouette with a trendy drop waits and trimmed with lace along the neckline and asymmetric hem. It's the perfect addition to any holiday wardrobe – just pair with a raffia bag and bright sandals.

Hannah Banks-Walker, head of fashion commerce: 'Australian label Aje is responsible for my favourite black dress through the seasons. While my exact style is now sold out, the Wilder dress is just as elegant and wearable. Sitting right where winter knits meet lightweight spring fabrics, this maxi dress features a fitted knit midi layered over mesh fabric embroidered with leaves. A dress that looks like it could be separates, it plays into this season's sheer skirt trend and is ideal for styling on its own with mules or ballet flats for spring and with a statement blazer, tights and boots as we head into winter again.'

A mini might not seem well-suited to winter, but & Other Stories' rib-knit dress is a surprisingly excellent transitional dressing essential. Crafted from breathable cotton to keep you cool and comfortable through spring, the dress features a flared skirt which is perfect for layering. Style with loafers or trainers before swapping in some knee-high boots and warm thermals (we're fans of Uniqlo's heat-tech).

Hitanshi Kamdar, senior commerce writer: 'While my exact picnic blanket-inspired dress is now completely sold out (no surprise there), the Nobody's Child Scottie Midi is another great red gingham. The midi length is great for the UK's typically windy weather in April and May while the puff sleeves, shirred waist and tie fastenings make for a pretty addition to your summer wardrobe. I love how the fitted torso gently flares out for an A-line skirt that gently skims the body for a flattering fit. I've been wearing my midi with Converse for a relaxed look, but it'll also pair well with chunky heels and dainty gold jewellery.'

If cashmere is best for winter and linen for summer, then denim is perfect for transitional dressing. This mini shirt dress from Abercrombie & Fitch is an influencer favourite design thanks to its versatile slim-fit cut, high-neck design and trendy seam details. Whether you wear it with tights and knee-highs or Sambas and a crossbody bag, this is a dress you'll find yourself reaching for on repeat.

Known for its high-quality, viral pieces, Aligne boasts a veritable lineup of uniquely modern dresses. The Aurelia dress takes after the brand's signature waisted silhouette with a cinched waist and short curved sleeves. The shift silhouette is timeless the cotton construction means you'll be cool and comfortable even on the most sweltering spring days.

Independent Indian brand Lovebirds draws inspiration from architecture, graphic design and vintage fashion, resulting in unique silhouettes and contemporary designs. The Oxford denim dress blends sophistication and playful style with its flattering A-line silhouette, short butterfly sleeves and contrasting white poplin pleats. It's sure to be a conversation starter no matter how you style it.

Reformation has made a name for itself as one of the best sustainable destinations for dresses thanks to its material innovations and environmentally efficient supply chain. The Shyla Dress is a brand bestseller that's sustainable in more ways than one. It's made from semi-synthetic, wood based viscose sourced from sustainable managed forests. The dress itself, with a ruffled V-neck and flattering slim fit skirt is timeless, meaning you'll be able to wear it on repeat for years to come.

B-corp certified brand Joanie's Ashley mini dress natural textured organic cotton barkcloth, made with a focus on reducing waste and transported by sea to reduce emissions and use less energy. Ticking all the right ethical boxes, the dress is also incredibly chic thanks to its boat neckline darted bodice and patch pockets at the front. Style with Mary Janes and a basket bag or with white socks and trainers for a relaxed look.

H&M has a surprisingly great section for maternity wear. This shirt dress in plissé jersey is the perfect sundress to invest in. While the loose flared skirt is perfectly bump-friendly, the floral sundress will be a staple long after your pregnancy too. Wear with ballet flats through your pregnancy and switch it up with heeled sandals for garden parties after.

If you're RSVP'ing plus one to any events this spring, add this powder blue dress to cart immediately. Made with the brand's signature 4-way stretch fabric, this maxi sculpts to the contours of your changing body, meaning it can be worn throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Cut for a slim fit, the dress features a trendy off-shoulder fold-over neckline, making it a refined option for formal occasions.

Frankly, age shouldn't play a role when it comes to finding dresses you feel your best in. But Boden is always a great choice if you're after beautiful prints, modest silhouettes and classic styles. A bonafide bestseller, the Rosie dress is cut with an angled empire line waist for a structured yet flattering fit with lace trimmed cuffs and a bright all-over floral print. While dress all but guarantees compliments, we'd suggest keeping the accessories minimal to make a subtle statement.

Inspired by Kaftan style dresses, this maxi from Arket is a must-have in the holiday wardrobe for women over 50. Made from lightweight cotton, the minimalist dress is designed with a sharp V-neck, standing collar, side slits and puff sleeve.
