One of the things I always love the most about this season is abandoning the many layers (so long, puffer coat!) and revisiting my dress wardrobe. New-in sections are helping me indulge in my dress daydreaming, as every day is bringing with it new summery items to scroll through.
Floral tea dresses and check midi dresses are hardly groundbreaking, but these throw-on styles always sell out at record speed. For the past few years, we have all gravitated towards dresses with plenty of chuck-on appeal. However, with offices reopened and events back in the diary, there are also lots of more playful options for 2022. Think lime-green silk, very pretty pleated midi dresses and wedding-ready florals.
There are 28 dresses, in particular, that I think will be a welcome addition to any wardrobe this spring. Keep scrolling to see my edit of the best dresses I've spotted so far for spring 2022.
