We’re not sure when it happened, but after a January that felt like a year and a February that felt like a second, spring is basically here and it’s absolutely acceptable to bust out all your packed-away spring clothes (or overhaul your spring wardrobe, of course).
While many spring staples like tried-and-true jeans and lightweight jackets are decidedly considered “year-round pieces,” a flowy spring dress is a telltale sign that warmer weather has arrived. And Anthropologie is guaranteed to be stacked with the latest spring dress styles.
The best spring dresses can take on many forms and silhouettes, but a few factors set them apart from other seasonal frocks. First, the length: The warmer the temperature, the more leg you can bare — and midi and mini dresses are obviously far easier to throw on when the heat index reaches the right levels. Secondly, spring dresses, for the most part, tend to be flouncier, which means lots of playful boho silhouettes, such as tent-like skirts or breezy sheath dresses. Third, the hallmark of a true spring dress is one that’s constructed from airy, lightweight materials that allow for movement and ventilation, like chiffon or Anthropologie’s Magic Fabric blend of viscose, linen, cotton, and elastane.
The spring dress is the kind of item that does so much with so little. It’s a one-and-done miracle that can solve that classic dressing dilemma when you have to run out the door but need a put-together look in a snap. Ahead, in this edition of Hype Machine, we’ve rounded up some of the top-rated spring dress styles offered at Anthropologie that have been ranked and loved by early wearers. Feeling twirl-happy yet? Scroll on for the trendiest Anthropologie dresses that are calling your name.

Why It’s Trending: One of Anthropologie’s cult styles is the ever-beloved and best-selling Somerset. It’s a staple in your wardrobe, and members of our Most Wanted team reviewed and confirmed its wearability. It’s truly a collector’s item, as the brand releases new prints and styles every season. “I tried this dress in-store and had to buy it! It’s stunning. My mom also tried it; it looks good on different body types and flatters all. I am considering buying another one in a different print because it’s so cute,” a reviewer shares.

Why It’s Trending: You have the maxi, and now here’s the mini. “It’s comfortable. It’s not too short. It’s not too long. It has pockets. It’s not too young or too old. I don’t know where I will wear this, but it will be in my closet when I need it,” writes a pleased shopper.

Why It’s Trending: This dress only looks fancy — you can thank the ruching, cowl neck, and high slit details for its elegance. Truthfully, though, it’s quite comfy due to the elastane stretch blend. “I usually have issues with dresses that lack a defined waistline, but not this one. Ridiculously flattering. I’m not seeing any of the issues with snagging others have,” writes one reviewer. Another wearer — 5’4″, 145 lbs. — writes that a size medium fits splendidly. “The fabric quality is great, thick but not too heavy. I love that you can dress it up or down. Highly recommend,” the reviewer writes.

Why It’s Trending: You can’t go wrong with a tube dress for the spring and summer, and this option (which happens to be the most wallet-friendly in our roundup) comes in eight vibrant colorways for every vibe and occasion.
“This material feels so lovely. The way the ruching hits is super flattering (I am very hippy and normally look terrible in this style). I want to buy this in more colors,” one reviewer wrote. Another agreed, saying, “I tried this on in store in the bright orange/red and it’s gorgeous. Super soft, the ruching is so flattering and it has a silicone strap at the top to keep it in place.” Keep in mind that most customers have said this style runs small, and that you should order one size up.

Why It’s Trending: For now, this shirt dress is scoring a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. The loose fit, breezy style, and comfy elastic sleeves make this a great option for transitional weather days. Not to mention, it comes with a five eye-catching and radiant patterns to choose from.
“This is my second Bettina dress, and I’m buying more. The dress runs large; I have a larger bust (34G) and am a dress size 12. For reference, I tend to go for a medium in these dresses, and I don’t have gapping at the bust. The fabric is light, airy, and comfortable,” writes a reviewer.

Why It’s Trending: Denim maxi skirts are back for spring, and now the dress is making a comeback. Anthropologie has a figure-hugging piece that is both comfortable and timeless that you can dress up or down. While denim one-pieces can easily be rigid, reviewers have noted that this midi-length silhouette has a slight stretch to it.
“I love this denim dress from Pilcro. I’m 5’4″, and often, midi dresses are too long and don’t look right. This one fits like a glove! I would definitely recommend it,” writes a reviewer. “I am so happy I ordered this dress. I am thrilled with the style and fit. It is so flattering. I love the length, the cap sleeve, and the front slit (not too high but enough to be sexy). I usually wear a size 6-8 and found the medium to be perfect. The dress has some stretch, so you can wear it very fitted if you like, or if you are more modest, you can size up.”

Why It’s Trending: Available in standard, petite, and plus sizes, this Anthropologie shirt dress also comes in several netural, pastel, and gingham options. So whether you’re in need of a spring work dress or wedding weekend attire, this elevated midi dress is ready to be carted up.
“I utterly adore this dress! Im always looking for dresses that are fitted at the waist but not tight in the butt or hip area, and this is perfect! The cotton is such a nice fabric, doesn’t feel like typical cotton,” one happy customer wrote. Another simply put it, “This is a perfect dress. Comfortable and so flattering.”

Why It’s Trending: Spring vacays, we are ready for you. While we wait for the first flowers to bloom, beat the winter blues with a silky tropical-printed midi dress — Anthropologie shoppers have already been prepping.
“The colors are gorgeous and true to the picture. It fits comfortably and has a nice shape. I can’t wait to wear it at the beach in a few weeks and all spring and summer long,” exclaims a reviewer. “I saw this in stores and grabbed it immediately. It’s very soft, and once on, it falls so perfectly. It sits on the hips very nicely, and the cut of the top is very flattering. There’s more room for movement at the bottom, too. I’m so excited,” raves another reviewer.

Why It’s Trending: Swing dresses are some of the most effortlessly chic styles to throw on. They make for great one-and-done outfits for running errands or going to the office, and will always have you looking relaxed yet put together. While this Anthropologie dress is also available in black and mint green, and overwhelming amount of customers have shouted out the stunning blue and black patterned option.
One customer wrote, “This little shirt dress is super chic, and once it starts warming up, it’ll be a Spring/Summer staple! I purchased the blue and the pattern is striking! I did find the arms to be an awkward length, but I rolled them once and now they’re perfect.” Meanwhile, another shopper said, “Wonderfully made and the fabric is cool and the cut flowy.”

Why It’s Trending: This best-selling silhouette — with puffed sleeves, a defined waist (that you can belt like the model above), and a-line skirt — is top-rated for a reason. Shoppers loved the addition of pockets, but many noted that the dress is not as flowy as it is pictured.
“I was not sure about the dress when it first arrived. Once I tried it on, it fit beautifully. Very feminine and perfect for a Spring lunch date or a wine tasting trip. It pairs well with strappy sandals or white sneakers. Can’t wait to wear it on my next trip,” one customer wrote. Another shared their affinity for the style, saying, “Love the Katerina dress style-this is my third and I always receive compliments.”

Why It’s Trending: Spring and summer wedding season is right around the corner, so it’s time to spruce up your collection of wedding guest dresses. Shoppers adore this dainty midi dress for its ruffled tiers and sweetheart bow. While this is the priciest dress on our list, it’s an investment worth making as you’ll be able to wear it to many events — weddings, anniversaries, date nights, formal affairs, etc.
“This is a darling dress… I could not get the dress out of my head. The ruffled layers are flattering and… It was love at first sight. I took note from the other reviews and made sure to size up,” writes a reviewer.

Why It’s Trending: There is no better answer to the end of the cold and frosty months than a chartreuse and white woodland fairy-esque dress. The puff sleeves, ruffled hem, and floral print made this flouncy silhouette a must-have piece for the spring.
“This dress is a DREAM! I wore it to a wedding this past weekend, and it felt so beautiful. It has lovely detailing (the bodice and the scalloped frilly hem- so pretty!),” writes a reviewer. “I loved the vibrant fabric. It was very comfortable except that the sleeves kept sliding off — a bit of tailoring would probably fix this, but I most likely will keep it as is.”

Why It’s Trending: If you’re into the oversized look, this is the dress for you. If you’re not, customers suggest simply sizing down or adding a belt. While many have swooned over the nearly-sold-out green colorway, we think a crisp white eyelet dress is even more versatile for springtime.
In spring, wear this style as an everyday dress; in the summer, wear it as a cover up, like one customer who wrote, “I bought this as a lovely looking beach/swim coverup and very pleased with the look, fit and style. It will be perfect as it is more attractive and glamour than what I was wearing. It comes with a liner blouse so I can wear it as everyday wear also. Very pleased.”
