There's no denying that French girls are some of the most stylish people on the planet. Steering away from the rapid-paced trend cycle to embrace timeless wardrobe staples, they have a no-fuss and incredibly chic approach to getting dressed. With that in mind, if there's one dress style they're guaranteed to pull out of their closets this season, it's the ever-flattering A-line dress.
But what actually is an A-line dress? Essentially, it's a term used to describe any dress with a formfitting bodice, a defined waist, and a skirt that gradually flares out to the hem, creating a triangular shape like the capital letter A. Unlike empire waists or loose dresses, the A-line silhouette creates the illusion of a narrower waist and wider hips, making it one of the most flattering styles to exist, no matter your body type.
In the spirit of embracing our inner French girl this spring, we scrolled through our go-to sites and rounded up the best A-line dresses the internet has to offer. Keep reading to shop 25 of our favorites.
