Top Trends in Women's Spring Dresses for 2024

Spring is the perfect time to wear more dresses. The weather’s warming up, the sun’s bright, and the smell of blossoms is lifting everyone’s spirits. You want to be wearing clothes that match this lighter and brighter mood, and Femme Connection has in vogue options aplenty in our dress collections.


Let’s look at some of the dresses said to trend this spring, as well as some dress styles that are firm spring staples.

Effortless denim dresses

The denim dress is always a popular choice, but is set to be particularly on trend this spring. Denim dresses are available in a variety of styles, including chic maxi length dresses, and more practical short styles. 

You can take your pick of denim thicknesses too, with some fabricated in sturdy, heavy denim, and some with very lightweight fabrics. In all cases, denim offers a uniform look that works in casual-work settings, and for weekend outings.

Denim dresses don’t require a lot of accessories. A simple bag and minimal jewellery works well (you can go delicate or chunky with the jewels). Footwear-wise, clean canvas sneakers, ankle boots or sandals all work well with a denim dress, no matter its length. You can pretty much take your pick when it comes to bags.

Classy crochet dresses

Though we tend to think of crochet knits as autumn and winter options, crochet also works well in spring, and is set to be on trend this spring. Remember, the entire dress doesn’t need to be crocheted—even small elements of crochet in the dress will catch the eye and give a delicate, lacey element to your outfit.

Look out for dresses with crochet around the hem, or crochet around the chest. This detail adds a feminine touch to the dress. When styling your crochet dress, consider adding additional crochet layers, like a crochet cardigan or light crochet jumper. Wear with heels and a delicate necklace, or a chunky bracelet, for a little extra something.

Bow-front dresses

Bows have been popular on red carpets and runways of late, and are set to make an appearance in spring dresses, albeit in a more toned down way than some of the enormous bows we’ve seen on celebrities.

Look out for bow-front midi dresses this spring. The bow at the neckline gives them a fun and feminine look, without being overstated. It’s a way to draw attention to your beautiful neck and decolletage, without revealing too much flesh. Wear with sandals or wedge heels, a fine chain necklace, and a tote bag or clutch.

Off-the-shoulder dresses

This spring, shoulders are set to be on show with a trend in off-the-shoulder dresses. There’s something very alluring about an off-the-shoulder dress, and they’re an elegant option for spring. 

Off-shoulder dresses are at once feminine and elegant, and there are numerous options in Femme Connection’s collection, in a range of lengths. Choose from off-shoulder dresses in floral or abstract prints, or neutral colours. Some come with a slit at the side, allowing for plenty of spring breeze on the lower legs. Most have elasticised shoulders that give you the option of wearing the dress on your shoulders, or lowering just one shoulder.

How to style an off-the-shoulder dress? Firstly, you’ll need a strapless bra to pull off the exposed shoulder look. Heels, sandals or ballet flats work well with this style of dress. A cute handbag or simple clutch tops off the look.

Simple shift dresses

Shift dresses are looking to be popular this spring, and we’re thankful for that! The shift dresses in Femme Connection’s dress range are super flattering and comfortable. They’re loose around the waist, and many come with handy pockets at the front. Available in a range of prints, including florals, leaf prints, and abstract prints, you can be certain to find something that looks perfect on you.

Shift dresses are a good option for simple outings to the park, shops or to brunch. If your workplace is particularly laidback, a shift dress will be just fine, and the shift dresses at Femme tend mostly to come with knee-length hemlines, so are a modest option.

Wear with canvas sneakers, ballet flats or sandals. A tote bag, basket purse or handbag will be suitable.

Cute babydoll dresses

Babydoll dresses are eternally sweet and feminine, and are set to be popular this spring. Their shortness means they are particularly suited to smaller frames, though taller women can still look great in a babydoll dress.

Babydoll dresses are very loose and feel ultra comfortable in warm weather. They often come in floral prints and vibrant colours. Pair with sandals, heels, or sneakers, depending on the occasion. In terms of a bag, a tote bag, bindle, or crossbody bag will work well. Have fun with playing with different coloured bags, like a floral bag with your floral dress, or else stick to neutral colours. A light-blue denim jacket works well with a babydoll dress. 

Elegant black dress

We don’t usually think of a black dress being a spring thing, but this spring season, black dresses are definitely in! For daytime dresses, look out for practical-yet-feminine black dresses in lightweight fabrics. For evening, consider a black dress with fringing—also set to be trending this spring!

A black dress is pretty easy to style. Black can work well with neutral tones like white, brown, and even navy bags and shoes. Alternatively, you can opt for some bright, vibrant coloured accessories (there’s nothing quite like hot red heels worn with a black dress).

For casual black dresses, wedge sandals or sneakers can both work. Add a denim jacket for a casual vibe. For the evening, it’s heels all the way! 

Flirty floral dresses

Floral dresses trending in spring? Who would have thunk it?! But yes, it’s official—wearing a floral dress this spring will see you being particularly up-to-the-minute, fashion-wise. 

When it comes to floral dresses, the world is your oyster. There are so many options, whether it be short, midi or maxi length dresses, in all kinds of floral prints, from spaced apart flowers, to dense and detailed blooms. There are floral shift dresses, floral boho dresses, floral double layer dresses, floral linen dresses and more. Basically, whatever floral style and fabric suits you best is likely to be on trend in spring, because hey, florals in spring is just a thing!

In terms of styling, you know what to do. (Keep it simple—minimal jewellery, light and feminine footwear, and a practical bag that doesn’t detract from the print of the dress.)

Free-and-easy boho dress

A boho dress is always a fashionable choice for spring. Boho dresses have a laid back, free-spirited vibe that matches so well with warm spring weather. They also look incredibly feminine and tend to be loose fitting and comfortable. Pay particular attention to boho maxi dresses in floral prints, or short boho dresses in pastel tones.

Boho dresses look great with roman sandals, sandals embellished with shells or flowers, and with fringed or woven bags. They also look great with wide-brimmed hats and of course, oversized sunnies!

Versatile linen dresses

Linen dresses are a perfect choice for spring, offering a blend of comfort and practicality. Linen is a breathable fabric, making it ideal for warmer days. These dresses come in various styles, from casual shift dresses with pockets, floaty tiered linen dresses, linen shirt dresses, and double-layer linen dresses, all of which offer comfortable and stylish options for casual occasions. 

Pair with sandals or espadrilles, and accessorise with a woven bag or a simple tote for a complete spring look.
