Just one peek into my small but mighty wardrobe, and you’ll see that my love for dresses has no limit. From vintage-inspired floral frocks to sleek knitted numbers, much like the wine selection at Helen’s, there’s a drink, I mean, dress for every mood, occasion, and weather forecast happily hanging in color-coordinated harmony in my closet.
Without a doubt, spring is the perfect time to add some fresh frocks to my collection, and after scouring through Nordstrom this week, I’ve found some seriously chic styles that hit some of this season’s biggest trends. From cute cutouts to mini hemlines and halter-neck silhouettes, whatever kind of dress style you’re into, you’ll find something that excites your sartorial senses (and matches your budget) below. Keep scrolling for my comprehensive guide to the best dresses to shop right now at Nordstrom and the eight styles that are already in my cart.
Florals
Nothing says spring like a floral frock. Opt for one with of-the-moment details such as cutouts, mini silhouettes, or a vintage-inspired print.
Shop:
Elevated Knits
A chic and versatile knit dress is a year-round wardrobe staple—easy to style with just about everything in your closet. Choose a sleek and elevated silhouette, and style it with sandals as the temps start to rise.
Shop:
Saturated Hues
We saw bold columns of color on the spring runways in all styles and silhouettes. They're guaranteed to add a vibrant and joyful touch that is altogether on-trend for spring.
Shop:
Cutouts & Straps
From delicate halter-neck straps to bold cutouts, the "naked" dress trend is unapologetically alluring—the perfect style for an evening out.

Satin Slips
Satin dresses have undergone a reinvention of late. Whether it's a sultry lingerie-inspired dress or a cowl-neck style that leans into the Y2K vibe, a silky slip is a fresh and sultry option this spring.

Dreamy White Dresses
Nothing says "warm weather is near" quite like a pretty white frock. This season's iterations have a cool-bride vibe with dreamy silhouettes and romantic textures.

Spotted all over the S/S 22 runways, preppy and sporty styles are getting the fashion treatment this season with modern takes on the prim look.
