Take My Word for It—These 38 Free People Dresses Will Get You Endless Compliments

Dresses are the best easy outfit formula for spring and summer, and every year, there are a ton of pretty, new styles to choose from. One of my go-to outlets for flouncy, floral dresses is Free People. The brand always has a selection of casual daytime dresses, more elevated occasion dresses, and a variety of playful hues that are guaranteed to liven up your closet.
I wear my dresses with everything from sneakers and sandals to heels and flats, so versatility is key for me when shopping for dresses. Some of this season’s upcoming trends include boho-inspired looks, drop-waist dresses, and lace details. Check out my top 38 picks from Free People below to freshen up your dress wardrobe. Whether it's a slinky slip, a lacy midi, or a voluminous mini, you'll find it all at your fingertips.
Pair with cute kitten heels for a spring look you'll come back to over and over.
I own this, and it's truly the easiest warm-weather staple to style up or down all season long.
Wrap dresses have a way of looking exceptionally good on just about anyone.
Unique Kaftans with cool decorative details will be everywhere this spring and summer.
Pair with heels or tall boots for a sultry date-night getup.
This is technically not a dress, but a cohesive set delivers the same or an even greater impact.
