This weeks post couldn't be more weather appropriate as it's super hot and sunny on the Emerald Isle. Maybe the child of Prague does work after all ;-)
It's time to get my milk-bottle-white legs out and set them free after what seems like a very long winter. I'm a short dress gal but after Cryotherapy this week on some suspicious looking sun damage I think it's time to invest in a longer length. On the plus side it'll save having to apply sun-cream as they'll be covered up!
Spring dresses are a wardrobe staple and a quick fix in warmer days with a cardy hanging out in your bag for the wind slap to remind you that you live in ireland and don't be getting notions you're in Spain!
This seasons dress trends are bright and cheerful. Flowy maxi dresses with detailed patterns and boho is back with a bang, expect lots of fringe and coin belts! There is an emphasis on sustainable fashion and eco-friendly cotton and linen fabrics.
Some fresh styles include milkmaid styles to summery crochet.
On the colour chart it's all about blues and white. The LBD is now the LWD (Little White Dress).
I've chosen some Spring styles below to get you started.
Cute Crochet:
A crochet maxi dress is a major fashion trend for SS '24. It's an instant update to your dress wardrobe.
This one from Maje has the perfect mix of spring hues and a halter neckline adds a fresh touch.
If you have an occasion coming up and you think this is perfect for it -I'm happy to tell you that you can rent it from Happy Days rental: https://happy-days.ie
The LWD:
Step aside the LBD and make room for the LWD in 2024. White dresses will be everywhere this season, not just at a wedding! Both mini and maxi lengths are embraced with gusto.
Lean into boho to kill two trends in one by adding a chain belt a la Rixo. They have been doing coin belts since the brand first came on the scene in 2015. Although, if you're a savvy thrift shopper then i'm sure there are vintage coin belts out there waiting to be found. If your in London i'd highly recommend Portobello Market on a weekend. Bound to find one there amongst other delicious treasures.
Anyway back to the LWD. I adore this one from a brand called Bardot. The halterneck is stunning and the detailing in the bodice with the tie bow at the back exudes elegance and sophistication. This is the perfect occasion dress with heels but would look just as cool with cowboy boots at Coachella.
The Tea Dress:
I LOVE this dress! The colours spark immediate joy and the neckline has a vintage feel to it.
I always feel very lady like when I wear a tea dress. I should be at a fancy hotel having afternoon tea with tiny sandwiches and sipping a non Lyons tea out of a fine china teacup with saucer. Oh yes!
But, in 2024 tea dresses are effortlessly dressed up and down with a heel or with a sneaker and still acceptable to wear either to afternoon tea. We make our own choices, yeah!
The Blue Hue:
Ice blue and the blue hue in general is the colour trend this season. I love the colour blue in all it's hues. The colour blue promotes a sense of peace and relaxation. You will notice a lot of businesses use this colour for these reasons. So, lets embrace the trend and wear more blue so we can feel at peace. Yip, I'm in :-)
This blue dress is perfect for Spring with it's high neckline. Throw on a biker jacket and boots for an edgy look or pair with a flat sandal for brunch. It's so versatile which makes it the perfect dress for our climate.
Other key dress trends this season are dresses with asymmetric detailing, milkmaid dresses, printed dresses.
I hope you enjoyed this post and are inspired to find your perfect on trend Spring dress. Thanks for reading.
May your style blossom like a spring flower!
