Is anyone else ready to ditch the thick fabrics and heavy knits that kept us warm all winter? We love a puffer coat and a fuzzy hat moment as much as the next fashionista, but now it’s time to prepare for the new season that’s on the horizon. Much to our delight, the light air of spring is on the way — and to be frank, we can’t wait to twirl around in our most fantastic frocks.
But we can’t make our springtime dreams come true with any old dresses. We need flattering, flowy dresses that fit comfortably. You know, the type of frocks we can team with tights and a leather bomber and not worry about the sleeves feeling too tight. We can’t forget about airy maxi dresses that don’t require smoothing or tummy control! And midi dresses that show off a little leg while concealing the bust tops our list too.
If you’re searching for flattering dresses to wear this spring, we’ve got you covered. We searched for chic frocks you can easily find at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Nordstrom, Free People and more — for under $100! Happy shopping!
