The winter to spring transition is by far the greatest seasonal swap of the year for reasons we needn’t explain, but will anyway. Snow-averse fashion shoes emerge from their hiding places. Pedicures become relevant, constricting tights the opposite. We layer for aesthetics rather than function (which is way more fun). We drink cocktails outside. Summer and its requisite vacations are ahead of us, not behind us or slipping away. There’s a general lack of cold-induced misery.
As the temperatures climb, so too does the demand for cute, airy spring clothes. And by clothes, we mean dresses. Tea, slip, ruffled and wrapped, dresses — winter’s It layering piece — are ready for some one-on-one time (or at least coat-free time) with you and your vitamin D-drenched bod.
Click through the slideshow above to find 30 cute dresses for spring that’ll wipe your memory clean of snow gear without emptying your wallet.
