There are three spring dress trends that we’re getting fully behind: A fresh spin on the LBD, broderie anglaise (i.e., sick eyelet), and floral that’s not prissy. Here, where to find the best ones–plus how to wear them all season long.
-
There’s nothing about this asymmetrical, lace inset dress from Sacai that screams preciousness: In fact, this season’s iterations are infinitely cooler than their predecessors.
SACAI Eyelet Combo Dress, Saks Fifth Avenue, $1,315; LUV AJ Silver Ombre Necklace, goop, $163; STELLA MCCARTNEY Cross Body Mini Bag, goop, $785; STELLA MCCARTNEY Lace-Up Sneaker, goop, $650
-
Florals can skew stuffy, so opt for a graphic take on the classic–i.e., a pattern that explodes off the fabric.

In casual shapes and low-key fabrications, the new LBD is capable of taking you from day to night with just a shoe change.

White Eyelet
Tone the sweetness down a bit by adding tougher elements like leather, studs, or metallics.

Floral Dress
Floral can be a lot on its own, so keep the rest of the outfit simple: dainty jewels, neutral accessories, and little else.

Little Black Dress
An LBD’s beauty is in its simplicity, so use restraint, i.e., add textures rather than flash.
