Along with these sunny days and warming temperatures come even busier schedules. From holiday brunches to weddings and graduation parties, we could easily convince ourselves to buy a new dress every weekend! We’ve found 13 essential dresses that will have you looking your most stylish this season.  Patterned, bright, textured, and playful, we’re obsessed with the flirty frocks from UK retailer Banks Fashion.

A dress is the one-piece wonder that let’s you get dressed better and faster than your casual go-to pair of jeans and cotton t-shirt.  It lets us look polished and put together in seconds. Comfortable, chic, and spicier than ever, wearing a dress is the perfect way to heat up any day with a swoosh of fabric or flash of knee.

First springtime mode of action: trade in your bulky sweaters for bright, flirty sundresses! Go for ones in a vintage cut in for the ultimate girly vibe. Since splurging on some of spring’s graphically complex creations like Peter Pilotto or Mary Katranzou can cost the equivalent of an actual work of art, it makes sense to opt for a dress that will stand out in a sea of blacks.

The interplay of geometric patterns, abstract brush strokes and scribble print in this selection could prompt even art-world grandees to pause. Pair these with flatforms or the trendy Birkenstock flats for a downtown cool girl look.
