Getting dressed in the mornings right now can be tough. Whether it’s because you’re still in that working-from-home rut and struggling to remember what your favourite outfits are for leaving the house or because you’ve only just cracked winter dressing and then spring decides to show up in full force this week. Either way, we’re here to offer you comfort and solutions because we’re finding ourselves in exactly the same boat.Â
When we, as editors, are finding it difficult to know what to wear at the onset of spring, one of the pieces we reliably turn to year after year is, of course, the dress. It’s one of the best things about dressing for the spring and summer months—an instant outfit that requires minimal effort with maximum impact. Find the right styles, and you’ll not only be comfortable all day but also look polished and put together.
There’s a fine balance, though, between a dress that makes you feel confident and one that clings in the wrong places, isn’t properly lined or maybe shows too much bra strap. That’s why today, we’re here to round up 30 new-in dresses that are guaranteed easy, effortless winners. By easy, we mean you can throw all of these on and go for most occasions, from the office to weekend brunches and maybe even a wedding or two. You can wear a bra with most of them, and everything from a fresh pair of trainers to your reliable boots or strappy sandals will work footwear-wise.Â
Most importantly, they’ll put a smile on your face because of how good you feel in them and how joyful they are—but also because you’ve not had to empty the entire contents of your closet onto your bedroom floor when deciding what to wear that morning.Â
