Weddings, graduations, Mother’s Day, spring holidays…we’re in peak event season. When shopping for all of your upcoming events, it makes sense to get a dress that you like enough to wear more than once. We’ve found the best ones of the season, so we think you’ll find one (or two) that you love enough to make a permanent addition to your wardrobe.
Looking for more affordable, yet stylish ways to revamp your wardrobe this spring? Here’s how to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch, the shoes and bags we can’t stop thinking about, and the best denim.
A timeless linen dress that’s worth the investment…
When you find a perfect linen dress, it’s best to invest now and explain later. Just think of all the baby showers, brunches, and birthdays you could wear this to. Not to mention, it would look fabulous on vacation.
A lace midi you can dress up or down…
This midi dress has a pretty lace-trimmed V-neck and a tie in the back. The slip style means it’ll move with you, whether you’re pairing it with heels for a cocktail-attire wedding or sandals for date night. Plus, the color combo is stunning.
A halter dress that comes in several colors…
From the high neck to the plisse fabric, this dress is classy all the way. It’s not too body-skimming, so if you’re on the dance floor all night, you’ll be comfortable. The olive color is sure to stand out from the crowd.
A maxi dress you’ll wear through the summer…
This maxi is a solid dupe for more expensive styles. It has a chic square neckline, smocked back, and fitted waist. The linen-blend fabric will be cool enough to wear on the hottest days.
A silk shirt dress you can wash…
A shirt dress always looks polished. This one is made of silk and spandex for a little stretch, but you can still throw it in the washing machine. Since it has long sleeves, you’ll be prepared for unpredictable spring weather.
A midi dress in a breezy cotton fabric…
This midi is made of soft cotton and has a square neckline with a dainty ribbon bow. The skirt flares out to keep you comfy and cool, plus you can dress it up with heels or wear it with ballet flats for every day.
A lace mini dress you’ll be wearing for years…
When a dress is this special, the cost per wear makes sense. It has lace trim, a ruched bodice, and three-quarter-length puff sleeves for a touch of whimsy. The French blue is timeless, so it’s perfect for any event when you don’t know what to wear.
A midi dress with a unique hem…
A handkerchief hem in 2026? We love to see it. This dress is a little sassy and a lot comfortable. It has a V-neck with an adjustable waist and wears just as well for brunch as it does out to dinner.
A statement shift dress that’s on our wish list…
When we saw this embellished shift dress, we were floored. The color — aptly named after August’s birthstone — conjures rolling green hills and candied green apples. The satin is textured, so you don’t need to stress about creasing if you’re throwing it in your suitcase.
A long-sleeve chiffon mini dress…
Bring a bit of boho to your closet with this long-sleeve mini, especially if you choose the paisley-patterned version. It has a bow detail at the neck and looks good with any shoe choice, from ballet flats to boots.
A strapless silk dress with a scarf…
If you want to channel old Hollywood glamour, wear this to your next wedding. It’s a silk strapless maxi dress that comes with its own silk scarf to throw over your shoulders. The solid colors are chic, while the polka dot version is eye-catching.
A cape dress worthy of a black-tie event…
Capes are having a moment. This maxi dress has a sheer cape overlay that exudes elegance. The cape falls to one side for an asymmetrical look that won’t soon be forgotten.
A pretty midi dress for everyday wear…
This midi dress has all the details to be your next favorite, from the sweetheart neckline to the tie at the waist. It says, “I just threw this on to take a stroll and maybe grab a spritz,” which is ideally what every spring dress should say.
