Our Shopping Editor Shares Her Favorite Dresses for Spring 2026 Leave a comment

As I’m writing this, a blizzard has just come through New York City, leaving flights cancelled and people cooped up inside. With weather like this, I’m about to say something that might sound a little crazy: I don’t like wearing pants.

I love how they look on other people, but I’ve personally always been someone who feels most themselves in skirts and dresses. When winter in New York reaches its worst, my hands feel tied. Normally, I cling to thermal tights under long skirts or dresses for as long as possible, but eventually the cold wins, and pants just kind of become unavoidable. Right now, there’s no greater motivation to dream about spring than having to bundle up to go outside and drudge through snow.
