Not that you need another excuse to shop, but the spring season is the perfect time of year to upgrade your wardrobe of fun, springtime dresses. As the weather warms up, it’s only natural to want to trade in pants and boots for breezier, more comfortable (and less restrictive) options. Enter: the sundress. No matter your personal style or body type, everyone loves — and looks good in — a spring dress.
More from WWD
First of all, most spring dress styles are insanely flattering, hugging at the bodice and flowing away at the hips. You can also style springtime dresses in a variety of ways in order to wear them to many different occasions, from a warm weather vacation, to a weekend outing, and even to work.
The Different Types of Spring Dresses
The truth is, spring dress styles can work for every body type. If you want to accentuate your waistline, make sure the bodice is tight. If you want to highlight your curves, a tighter option is a good choice, while a flowy fit is universally flattering. This spring, there are a few basic — and celeb-approved — styles you can choose from.
Mini Dresses: A mini dress is the shortest style, hitting right above the knee. It’s often considered the sexiest option because of how skin baring it is. This season, try going for a skin tight material for a sultry, red-carpet inspired look. Another trendy mini dress is the babydoll style that fits a little looser, but still feels flirty.
Midi Dresses: The midi dress is a touch longer than a mini dress, falling below the knee, but not floor length. Slip dresses are the most popular midi dress this spring. It’s often one of the more elevated options you see celebrities styling with accessories, like layered necklaces and belts.
Maxi Dresses: Maxi dresses are fabulously casual, but they still look sophisticated enough for daytime events — just ask the celebrities who live in them! Typically, they are form fitting at the top, before fanning out to be loose and flowy.
Lounge Dresses: These are often fondly referred to as mumus or sweater dresses. They’re typically made from a super soft stretch fabric, which can be either tight or oversized. They can be worn around the house or in casual settings, but like most other outfits, they can be dressed up with jewelry and the right footwear.
Floral Dresses: We’d be remiss if we didn’t give floral its own category for spring. It doesn’t refer to a particular style, but the pattern is by far the most coveted for the season. Florals for spring? We say yes.
With so many variations, it can be hard to pick the perfect spring dress. That’s where Amazon comes in, especially if you’re an Amazon Prime member. No matter your budget, you can shop a wide range of spring dresses in various colors, patterns, cuts and materials, from luxury numbers to the affordable yet still very stylish options.

I tried this in a L and it was too small,” explains one reviewer, although she notes that the XL was still tight across her chest, so this option may be best suited for a smaller cup size.

Florals get all the glory, but there is something about a basic knit dress that feels so right in the springtime. This ribbed midi dress is available in a variety of colors, including orange, ice pink, tan, and white.

A charming floral print, a flirty mini length, 100% cotton material — what more could you ask for in a springtime dress? Girly details, like the gathering at the bodice, ruffle accents, and puff sleeves give it an extra sweet touch.

It features a cutout detail, giving it a trendy feel, and it’s available in sizes XXS to 5X. “I bought this dress because Tik Tok made me do it (lol). But it was a pleasant surprise, I’m 40DD and it really has good coverage,” writes one reviewer.
Oscar de la Renta Tiered Magnolia Poplin Dress
This frilly pink dress is a warm weather staple. It’s made of lightweight cotton poplin that will keep you cool in the warmest of temperatures.
