Pretty Is In: 8 Dress Trends You'll See Everywhere This Spring

We look forward to spring for many reasons, but it's the fresh fashion offerings that really get us going. And the most noteworthy? All of the pretty new dresses. Emphasis on pretty, because amongst the tons of trends we're seeing for spring, ultra-feminine and delicate silhouettes rank high. To that, there are actually key dress styles that we marked from the S/S 2023 collections. While all statement-making in their own right, the It-styles of the moment can be dressed up or down for a multitude of spring occasions. Whether you've got a wedding, brunch date, or a special dinner, there's a dress for you below. 

Out of the trove of runway photos to sift through, we were able to create an edit of eight key dress trends the style set is going to be all about this season. Keep scrolling to uncover them and shop runway-inspired picks to prepare for the season ahead.

Maxi hemlines are nothing new to the fashion scene, but the modest trend is only getting bigger from here on out. Showing up in a floor-length column dress takes "power dressing" to a whole new level.

And on the opposing side of maxis, hyper-cropped hemlines also were spotted heavily on the runways. And when brands like Loewe or Valentino put something on the runway, it's hard to say no.

Thanks to the Y2K craze, denim is no longer reserved for your favorite pair of jeans. Gone are the days of the Canadian tuxedo being dated because it's about tackling the fabric head-on in this sartorial age. The more denim, the better.

If you're looking for a unique dress trend, look no further than this dramatic trend. (At WWW, being dramatic is a compliment.) Exaggerated silhouettes like bubble hems or drop waists add a flair to designers that otherwise lean more minimal.
