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

When it comes to the list of spring 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 a foolproof outfit. While there are plenty of timeless cuts out there, 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 some fresh new styles.

To dive in further, we rounded up the top editor-approved dress styles we’re excited about for the season ahead, 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. 

While I have plenty of floral dresses in my closet, I've been interested in adding more unique pieces to my closet. I'm always drawn to sculptural silhouettes, so the beautiful ruched dresses that are everywhere for spring have especially caught my eye.
"I won't lie, shirt dresses have always felt a tad boring to me, so even though they're trending this spring, I'll be skipping over them in favor of these printed mesh numbers. They feel straight out of the '90s with graphic screenprints and ruching details and, even better, they're ultra-comfortable. Catch me styling them with shoulder bags and tall boots."
"I'm all for airy and puffy dresses on certain occasions, but since I'm 5'3 they can swallow me up sometimes. I still love them, but I much prefer ribbed dresses as they suit my frame better and can be worn in a couple of different ways."
"I know that bodycon dresses are kind of back and they look very chic on some people, but they just don't suit me, so I'll be skipping those. What I am drawn to for spring is romantic dresses with some sort of bust detail. Blame Bridgerton."
"Any one of my fellow editors can attest that I'm rarely in pants—dresses are by far my favorite wardrobe staple. But while I consider myself a dress aficionado, I was not here for and won't be jumping on the bubble dress trend we saw in F/W 20 runway presentations; however, I am giddy for the open back and cutout dress iterations we've seen bubbling up for spring. It's not only more universally flattering, but it's just down-right sultry."
"If you think I'm going to wear little mini dresses after getting very comfortable not shaving my legs during COVID, then you have another thing coming. Instead, I'm going to stick to midi dresses with sweetheart necklines to add some interest."

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...
