The Pretty Spring Dress Trends We're Into (and 6 We're Giving Up)

When it comes to the list of spring and summer purchases, a pretty dress ranks pretty high. You know the style: one that’s chic with an of-the-moment silhouette, but also incredibly easy to toss on with a few accessories for an A-plus outfit. While there are a few timeless cuts out there (ahem, black midi dresses), there are a few fresh spring-dress trends we’re especially into this season. Alternatively, there are also a smattering in our wardrobes that we may consider storing away (for now) in favor of said new styles.

To showcase further, we rounded up the top dress styles we’re excited about, while also highlighting the picks we're not as into (all based on personal preference, of course). Keep scrolling for a bit of spring dress inspiration. 

"I don't care that 'Hot Girl Summer' was last year's anthem. I'm taking it into 2020 with a decidedly hot-dress trend. I'm talking about dresses that feature lingerie-like details. Think corset dresses, dresses with garters, and exposed bra details. As for the dress below, make sure to check out how it looks on our senior fashion editor Lauren Eggertsen because these e-commerce images don't show off the faux-boning seaming, aka the best part. Also, there are amazing floral prints out there, but I'm skipping the more standard floral-printed dresses this season. On me at least, they often end up looking a bit frillier than I like." 
"This spring I'm skipping cap-sleeve dresses, a silhouette that may be bubbling up but doesn't always work for me. Instead, I'm investing in leather or vegan-leather pieces right now and just ordered this wrap dress from Nanushka."
"I'm really into the long, loose, and billowy dress silhouettes out there right now, the ones that hang loose from collarbone to calf with no restrictions. They're so comfortable and effortless. I'll be wearing them with sneakers and flat sandals in place of tight body-con minidresses this season."
"While it's a little bit outside my typical wheelhouse, I'm really keen on trying those tiered baby doll–style dresses à la Cecilie Bahnsen and plan to pair them with a lug-sole boot or Oxford as I've seen so many fashion girls do right now. Since I'm not normally a dress kind of girl, there are a number of styles I naturally steer clear of, but I'd say I'm definitely giving up those longer ribbed-knit tank dresses I used to own so many versions of."
"While floral dresses will always be relevant in spring, this season I'm trading those in for more sleek and tailored options, like this Frankie Shop blazer dress I may or may not have already purchased."
"I've seen so many pretty cutout dresses on the market lately and I'm dying to own at least one. Based on how popular they were on the F/W 20 runways, I think they're a trend that has legs. On the flip side, the spring trend I'm skipping is the maxi knit dress."

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...
