Shopping for Spring Dresses
A look into different flirty dresses for any occasion
By Holly Shulman, Contributing Writer
As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, pastels and florals are back in season. My favorite garments to wear during this time are floral dresses because of their versatility––they can be dressed up or down. With popular brands like LoveShackFancy and For Love and Lemons releasing their new spring lines, it is the perfect time to invest in your new go-to dress.
LoveShackFancy
LoveShackFancy is one of the most prominent spring brands, offering dresses in a variety of colors, patterns and lengths. Rachel Hessel Cohen started the company after designing her bridesmaids’ dresses for her wedding (About LoveShackFancy, n.d.). Although these garments fall on the pricier side, ranging between $200 to $2,000, the quality and versatility are worth the hefty price tag. LoveShackFancy has elegant, feminine and vintage-inspired pieces to elevate your spring wardrobe for years to come.
For Love and Lemons
For Love and Lemons adds a funkier, trendier twist to the classic floral dress. With vibrant colors and flirty silhouettes, these pieces are worth the investment. Aside from their stunning dresses, this company is working toward becoming more sustainable. For example, they only produce their items in two factories in two countries to lighten up their carbon footprint (Sustainability is Beautiful, n.d.). Overall, For Love and Lemons is perfect for those looking for beautiful yet sustainable fashion for the spring.
Frankie’s Bikinis
While this brand is primarily known for their swimwear, Frankie’s Bikinis have ventured into other items, including floral dresses! Patterns here give off a very tropical vibe and immediately transport me to a spring break beach vacation. These dresses are a more daring alternative to the classic floral dress.
ASTR the Label
Out of the four brands mentioned, ASTR the Label is probably the least recognizable but definitely one worth looking into. They have some of the most classic floral dresses for any age and any sense of style. If you want a timeless floral dress, ASTR the Label is perfect for you.
