27 Spring Dresses That Are Very 2026

I’m a spring baby, so consider me biased, but boy, do I love this season. The blooms! The energy! The ability to go outside without freezing your butt off! Due to the latter, dresses generally aren’t apart of my winter vocabulary, but rising temperatures mean I can (and will) bare my legs once more. I get very Sound of Music-y this time of year—the hills are alive, and so am I. The spring dress trends slated for this season have done a lot to ignite this feeling. While we might typically acquaint spring with a degree of demureness, spring 2026 hinges a great deal on being bold.

The spring dress trends I’ve had my eye on include those in ’80s-inspired primary colors or that have flapper-style fringe. Asymmetrical hemlines and drop waists are also very much on my radar. These are the trends that made the biggest splash on the S/S 26 runways. There’s a sense of aliveness inherent to spring that’s reflected in the season’s fashion, as if to say, be here now, and be your biggest self while you’re at it. That is a sentiment I can always get behind.
