One spring dress style that will work for nearly every occasion on your list? A classic shirtdress. This mid-length option is effortlessly chic, and since it’s somewhat simple, it’ll be easier to give things your own personal spin. Styling it with knee-high boots will help turn this piece office-ready, but should you want to dress it up for, say, a family function, go ahead and add pair of dazzling drop earrings along with strappy heels.
Avoid the panic that comes with picking out a spring outfit by investing in a long-sleeve mini dress that features a bold print. The extra arm coverage means you might be able to skip an additional layer on warmer days, and since the design is already so loud, you can let this piece speak for itself without adding many accessories. While the design does feel somewhat fancy, a pair of white sneakers will help to dress it down.
