It's Finally Time to Trade In My Jeans for Dresses—19 Spring-Ready Styles I'm Considering
Poppy Nash
Although the current temperature is a little chillier than we would like, the sweet taste of spring is on the horizon, particularly where fashion is concerned. As we edge towards warmer days, we’re beginning to see new collections override past season sales and spring/summer pieces weft in amongst knits and layers. And as a fully-fledged dress girl, I’m most excited about the dresses on offer this season, of which there are plenty I'm pleased to report.

You needn't wait until August to get your dress dose, and to make prepping for the new season just that bit easier for you, I've scrolled through 1000s of dresses across the high street and some of our favourite designer brands to weed out the wheat from the chaff and bring you very best available right now. There's a myriad of pretty, puff-sleeved styles, as well as floaty white dresses, classic floral iterations and broderie styles made for sunny days, of course. Not to mention plenty of neutral numbers for the minimalists among us.
Keep scrolling for 19 of the most gorgeous dresses I’ve seen so far this year.
