Spring is the perfect time to embrace romantic dressing. The amount of diaphanous and dreamy pieces currently on offer tells us we’re not alone in our love of a charming dress style, either. Spring’s romantic dresses are coolest when they’re dressed down. Eschew a towering heel and pair your puff-sleeve dress with a mid-calf, slouchy boot or, better yet, a low-key cool clog. (This studded pair by Ancient Greek are just right.) Keep makeup low-key, hair undone (alternatively, a sleek chignon works great here) to nail the look.
