Spring Dresses Are on My Mind—These 45 Are Fashion-Forward, Chic, and Under $300

Spring has officially sprung, which means my effortless and easy dresses have come out of hibernation and gained a spot at the forefront of my wardrobe. As we head into April, spring dresses are on my mind, and there's nothing more satisfying than putting away the heavier layers and slipping into the best dresses the season has to offer. There are plenty of styles to get excited about this season, and the spring 2025 runways offered a glimpse into what we can expect at all our favorite retailers this season.
From romantic draped dresses and sheer fabrics to crafty crochet and handwoven knitting to city-chic shirtdresses and sleek minidresses, there is something for every taste, budget, and occasion. Whether your style is minimal or eclectic, I'm sharing all the best spring dresses worth adding to your wardrobe this spring. The best part? I've kept all my picks under $300. Happy spring dress shopping.
