　　Spring dress FAQs What are the biggest spring dress trends for 2026?

　　Spring 2026 is all about butter yellow, polka dots, romantic puff sleeves, soft tailoring and relaxed boho-inspired midis. Lightweight fabrics like cotton and linen blends are also dominating for that effortless feel. High-street fashion seems to have caught on...

　　Are midi dresses still in style for spring?

　　Yes, midi dresses remain one of the most popular spring dress styles thanks to their versatility. I love them, personally. They work with trainers, boots and sandals and can easily be layered with jackets or knitwear. Dress them up (or down).

　　What shoes should I wear with a spring dress?

　　It depends on the vibe. Trainers create a casual daytime look, ballet flats feel polished, heeled sandals elevate for events and chunky boots toughen up softer silhouettes.

　　How do I layer a spring dress for unpredictable weather?

　　Add a lightweight trench, denim jacket or bomber for warmth. You can also layer a thin knit underneath sleeveless dresses or throw a cardigan over your shoulders.
