likeWise style guide: vibrant spring dresses

Spring fever is upon us. It’s time for graduations, spring flings, and romantic strolls under the cherry blossoms. Or maybe it’s just time to amp up the dress collection with some vibrant spring dresses. Pick dresses with flowy fabrics, sophisticated shapes, and feminine details. No need to overthink your spring wardrobe, add the lazy girl’s secret weapon to looking fab: the one-piece, throw-it-on-and-go spring dress.

Banana Republic’s dress collection is summery and sultry. We love the rich neutrals and vibrant brights of these spring and summer dresses. Our favorite spring dress is a little cotton strapless number…a spring dress that is an online exclusive so check it out here.

Banana Republic Cotton strapless print spring dress $148

For the perfect transitional spring dress into summer, we picked this strapless silk dress. The brilliant color and flattering empire waist inspire confidence- it’s your one-piece way to smokin’ hot.

Banana Republic Silk strapless dress $168

Running late for work? Last minute brunch date? How do you look fabulous, easy. Throw on a breezy, vibrant spring dress. Nordstrom is one of our favorite shops for dresses, they have a great spring dress collection and we can find dresses for every body type.

Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Print Surplice Bodice Dress $118

Like this Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique spring dress because it combines a bright, springy teal with a pretty neutral hue print. The flirty skirt of this spring dress hides rear-end “issues” while the bodice is built for busty girls with a double v-neck. This silhouette and length of this spring dress works for both tall girls and petites.

Nordstrom is one store that has a fantastic plus size section with great spring dresses. We love this Donna Rico dress and it’s eye-catching contemporary floral print in vibrant orange.

Donna Ricco Cap Sleeve A-Line Shirtdress (Plus Size Spring Dress) $128

Plus Size fashion shouldn’t be tent-like. Slimming silhouettes, like this tie-waist a-line spring dress put the “plus” in plus size dresses. Girls who want to keep their arms under-cover (we all don’t have Madonna-style ripped biceps) will appreciate the cute cap sleeves on this swingy spring dress.
