This Is Spring-Summer's Biggest Dress Trend

The mood is dreamy …

The season’s biggest dress trend? It’s all about unbridled romance. You can thank spring’s great softening for this out and out ode to all things romantic. Designers are leaning into a gentler mood reflected in this season’s fashion, interior and cultural trends. And you can see it in the dresses trending now. Think: pastel hues, fairytale shapes and delicate textures.

We’re particularly taken by the abundance of pale pinks and blues abounding for SS25 – they’re the kind of hues that always flatter Irish skin-tones. See Aje’s pearl blue bubble hem dress below as a statement-making case in point. While Sinéad Keary’s bow-detail shift dress, from the Irish designer‘s just-dropped Something Blue collection, is as pretty as they come. Perhaps the zenith of the romantic look we’re seeing for spring is the Agnesa dress by Dôen, with its 1950s-inspired floral lace and square neckline, the cotton-voile style is inspired by antique slip dresses: dreamy.

Of course, these styles will peak in the summer. But how do you wear them now? Team them with a slim button-up cardigan in a lightweight wool or knot a colourful knit around your shoulders while we’re transitioning to spring. Shop the best romantic dresses for SS25 below.
