The Theme Is Elegance: 32 Chic Spring Dresses I'm Adding to My Cart

It's that time again—sundress season is (almost!) upon us. While there are many classic dress styles that pop up every spring, there's always one particular theme that comes to define the silhouettes of that season. For spring 2024, that theme is elegance. Last September, designers across the board introduced spring collections where sophistication was the main character, and now that said collections are arriving in stores, it's clear that elegance is in.
Refined dresses are dominating the new spring arrivals, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Designers are giving fresh updates to silhouettes that feel reminiscent of another era. Think A-line skirts, drop waists, off-the-shoulder necklines, and hourglass shapes with a 2024 twist. I browsed through the new collections to put together a list of the best spring dresses and found 32 options that are just dreamy, from draping details to full skirts and layered pleats. Below are my favorite elegant spring dresses.
