Spring has sprung, and that means it’s time to swap out those heavy winter layers for lighter, breezier fabrics. As the days start to stretch out and we (fingers crossed) begin to see more of the sun, there’s nothing quite like a fresh spring dress paired with boots or a light jacket. Whether you’re off to brunch, running errands, or just want to feel fabulous in the office, a midi dress is your one-stop solution to looking chic with minimal effort.

Animal print is roaring back into fashion this season, but it’s all about zebra rather than leopard. If you’re a fan of a statement piece, this zebra print mesh maxi dress is a must-have. The airy mesh fabric makes it ideal for warmer days, while the fitted silhouette keeps it sleek and sophisticated. I’d pair this with chunky sandals and a crossbody bag for a laid-back daytime look, or dial it up with kitten heels and a boyfriend blazer for an evening out. Extra points for the monochrome palette, which makes accessorising a breeze. The Textured Stripe Belted Shirt Dress Snap it up for £45

Stripes are set to be a massive trend for SS25, and this item hits the nail on the head with its crisp, structured silhouette that’s both flattering and sophisticated. The belt pulls in at the waist for a defined shape, making it ideal for everything from workwear to weekend adventures. I’d pair this with white trainers for a laid-back ‘Kate Middleton-esque’ vibe, or throw on some heeled boots for a more refined finish. The Stripe Knitted Midi Dress Grab it for £38

Knitted dresses are making a smooth transition into spring, and this stripe midi dress is evidence that they’re not just for the colder months. With its soft, figure-hugging fit and pastel-coloured stripes, this dress is both comfortable and fashionable – perfect for those unpredictable weather days. Team it with loafers and a denim jacket for a relaxed look, or elevate it with heeled mules and a structured tote. Plus, it’s the kind of dress that works just as well for lounging around the house as it does for stepping out, which is always a bonus in my eyes. The Denim Button-Through Midi Dress Get it for £40

Whether you’re pairing it with a basic tee for a laid-back daytime look or strapping on some sandals for a more elevated vibe, this is one dress you’ll be reaching for all season long.
