The Four Types of Dresses to Live In This Spring

Staying in? May as well do so in a cute new frock

Despite this decade of a year during which we went nowhere, I’d say dresses had a pretty decent run, all things considered. They became dreamy nightwear, they took on playful new proportions and romantic silhouettes. They represented hope, cut from flowery cotton. Here, the four dress trends to consider this spring, and many after.

 

The Bodycon

Oh yes, it’s back. Not exactly like the Hervé Leger creations of a decade ago, these figure-skimming numbers trade shiny bandages of fabric for comfy ribbed jersey or even ’70s-inspired crochet.

The Frilly Collar

The girly, childlike oversized collar isn’t just for blouses. For pie-crust collars on floral smock dresses to dainty embroidered scallops, these dresses are worth pulling out for your most important Zooms.

The Floral

A tried-and-true classic. We say bring on the ’90s grunge-y florals, the #cottagecore ditsy prints and the oversized wallpaper-inspired blooms.
