Here's How to Shop Spring's Biggest Dress Trends for Under $100

Nothing transitions us into spring quite like a new dress—easy to wear with boots and layered with sweaters while the temps are still cool and perfect to wear with sandals and lightweight jackets once things start to warm up. If you’re on the hunt for a stylish new dress (or three) for the new season, then take a look at some of the biggest dress trends set to dominate this spring. From polka dots to bold statement sleeves and floor-grazing maxis, the S/S 20 runways provided us with a plethora of stunning frocks to zhuzh up our wardrobes this warm-weather season. We guarantee there’s a little something to suit every sartorial taste. And because we’re well aware that stocking up on a new-season wardrobe can get pricey (plus, we’re saving up for that European summer getaway), we’ve kept all our dress picks under $100.

Leather continues to reign supreme as one of the biggest trends this year. We saw leather dresses come in myriad styles, from button-down shirtdresses to minimalist shifts in colorful and versatile hues like tan, green, burgundy, and black. 

Spotted (literally!) all over the runways—on minis, maxis, cocktail dresses, in various colors and fabrics—the classic print undoubtedly is having a major moment this spring. Versatile and chic for work, weddings, weekends, and beyond. 

When it comes to puff sleeves this season, the bigger, the better. Voluminous and billowy, they're the perfect way to add a little head-turning drama to your warm-weather look. 

An easy, effortless, and super-wearable trend, spring's iterations of striped knit dresses come in lightweight ribbed fabrics, metallic touches, and uplifting hues. 

Long, billowy, tent-like dresses were seen all over the spring runways from Roksanda to Valentino. These frocks hang loosely from collarbone to calf with practically no restrictions, often featuring equally modest high-neck collars and long sleeves. Expect to see comfy dresses on an Insta feed near you come spring.

The '60s and '70s had a major influence on the S/S 20 runways, with vintage wallpaper prints and flower power adorning dresses of all styles. Opt for Bohemian fabrics and folkloric detailing to take on the thrift-chic look.

From broderie anglaise to sheer lace detailing, the warm-weather season is practically made for the lace dress trend, which was omnipresent on the runways from Alexander McQueen to Isabel Marant.

Up next, every under-$85 item we've actually bought so far this year.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
