After a dearth of sunlight, there’s a hint of spring in the air; meaning there’s no better time to think about dresses. Diaphanous, floral and bright options that nod to the now and can be worn well into summertime.
Naturally, the key this season is layering. The long-sleeved Alix of Bohemia dress, below, is teamed with a sweater vest, thick socks and a studded hobo bag. Just as pretty dresses are the perfect excuse to break out last season’s statement ballerina flats, team white frocks with boots for a soft/hard take on bohemia. If white isn’t for you, opt for pale pink, as seen on the runway at Khaite.
A slip dress is always in style and the square-neck version, below, from M&S has a nostalgic aesthetic. Meanwhile, utility reigns supreme as denim takes the spotlight again: bag a do-it-all denim dress (bonus points if it has lots of pockets, too!)
Lastly, if you’re not ready to go full frou-frou just yet, lean into a Scandinavian approach. Team black and white or cream combinations, with streamlined shapes made exciting by dramatic hemlines that stretch towards the floor. Shop the best new dresses for SS25 below.
