With the long weekend just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to fill your closet with new-season dresses designed for all the sunny days and starry nights ahead. From romantic florals and garden prints to pretty pastels and delicate details, there’s no shortage of whimsical silhouettes worthy of spring. Whether you’re celebrating Easter or Passover in the coming days, or simply gearing up for three days of good old-fashioned fun, we’re here to help you plan your wardrobe with five of our favourite looks for now and later.
1. Pretty in Pastel
Springtime is often associated with soft pastel hues, and this season is no different. Gentle shades of lavender, peach and dusty rose pair seamlessly with neutral tones, making them easy to wear as we transition into lighter fabrics and shorter hemlines. If this weekend’s social calendar includes Sunday brunch, opt for a pale pink dress with extra feminine detailing, such as eyelets and ruffles.

2. Blissful Blooms
Since most flowers begin to grow during the springtime, it’s only natural that this season has become synonymous with garden prints and floral motifs. Regardless of your plans, a charming botanical design is a fitting choice for a joyous weekend spent with family and friends. Wow your loved ones with a sweet style boasting heavenly cherry blossoms, wild roses or water lilies.

3. Tropical Flair
If you’d like to infuse a touch of greenery into your wardrobe without actually wearing flowers, try an exotic palm leaf print. A shoulder-baring number with a maxi-length silhouette works well with a lightweight knit or jacket for that end-of-season chill.

Searching for a look that’s as comfortable as it is chic? Slip into a classic wrap dress – a style that’s become the epitome of effortless elegance. A two-tone geometric design will carry you from day to night, as you enjoy a weekend full of delectable meals and get-togethers.
