Fit-and-Flares, Editor-Loved Floral Maxis and Flirty Linen 'Fits — These Are the Spring Dresses We Have Our Eyes on This Season

Prettygarden Summer Dress →

Contributing writer Anna De Souza was drawn to this dress for its delicate print and boho-inspired look, but she became equally impressed with its fabric and style. “I am a huge fan of puff sleeves, and this design delivers doubly with dainty ruffled details,” she says. “While I normally prefer V-necks, I also appreciate the crew neckline cut here. It helps to make this dress more functional for the playground with the kiddos!”

Prettygarden Floral Midi Dress →

This floral dress is extremely soft and has an easy, flowing silhouette that is perfect for the season. It’s designed with ruffled sleeves and a cute V-neck cut. "I can see anyone wearing it as a casual daytime ‘fit or even a bathing suit cover-up when summer hits," says commerce writer Danielle Murphy. "I like how I can also dress it up with a belt to create a fitted look."

Petal & Pup Barker Dress →

If you love a draped dress, this flowing number might take the top spot in your spring dress collection this season. Between the flutter sleeves, tiered skirt and overlay V-neck, the style has elegance written all over it. Its midi length makes it perfect for pairing with either a heel or sneakers, allowing you to dress it up or down.

A New Day Tie-Front Twist Midi Dress →

This midi style is for anyone who is mentally skipping straight to summer. The nautical stripes have us imagining boat rides and beach days, and the twisted detailing in the front brings to mind the design of a swimsuit cover-up but with a much more daytime-casual vibe. According to the brand, its blend of cotton, modal and spandex as well as a subtle side slit allow you to move freely and comfortably.

Gap Linen-Blend Midi Shirtdress →

We love a linen one-and-done 'fit for spring, but this classy number features a bunch of stunning details that will have you wanting to grab it in all four colors. First, there's the streamlined stitching down the chest to create an elongating illusion. Second, the tasteful top-to-bottom button closure. And don't miss the shirring at the back and small slit in the front. Mix all that in with a spread collar and perfect drape, and you'll have a hard time convincing us this isn't worth adding to your cart.

Old Navy Fit & Flare Linen-Blend Midi Dress →

This midi dress is all things chic and cozy, from its seamed bodice down to its loose skirt and linen-blend material. And since it's not summer yet, you can easily pair this with a denim jacket or oversized cardigan to keep the early-spring breeze at bay.

Quince Mixed Media Tank Dress →

Quince just took its bestselling fit-and-flare dress and gave it an upgrade so that it can, as the brand says, "move with you, wherever the day takes you." You can expect a cotton modal top that is soft to the touch, combined with a 100% organic cotton poplin bottom that is both lightweight and airy. It also features a refined scoop-neck and two pockets, and it's available in three neutral (but far from basic) colors.

Halara Maxi Tank Dress →

The perfect throw-on-and-go dress, this could be the most comfortable looking design we've seen yet. The overall effortless style can be easily attributed to its free-flowing A-line fit, four-way stretch fabric, pull-on structure (bye-bye zippers) and front slits to offer even better movement. It comes in more than 20 colors and sizes XS to 3X.

Lands’ End Smocked Waist V-Neck Dress →

Does it get any better than puff sleeves and poplin? Possibly ... if you add a cozy smocked waist and a flared silhouette and breathable fabric and cut the price completely in half. Well, we found a style that checks all those boxes at Lands' End — and it even comes in a bunch of sizes, from 00 to 18. Make sure to use the code SURFBOARD at checkout to get 50% off!

Gap Factory Boatneck Midi Dress →

We're calling it now — the boat neckline is going to be everywhere this season. The understated detail isn't the only eye-catching part of this dress, which also boasts pockets, a shirred waist and two types of fabric: a soft ribbed material on top, with a woven and slightly puffed skirt at the bottom. Right now, you can score all four colors for 50% off.

Aritzia Wilfred Technique Linen Dress →

Perfect for everything from evening happy hours to summer weddings, this worth-the-splurge linen maxi dress has all the makings of a go-to spring pick. It features a V-neck finish, fit-and-flare silhouette and a 100% organic linen material that the brand says boasts a soft and airy feel.
