Dress season is imminent. Soon, we’ll be retiring the bulky coats and knitwear to our under-bed storage and relying heavily on dresses to carry the weight of our outfits. There’s nothing more freeing than stepping out in nothing but a cotton midi, flats and a basket bag, especially when the sun is shining overhead. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves; it’s early March as I write this, and spring has barely sprung.
Nonetheless, the wedding dates pinned to the fridge are creeping closer and closer, and it makes sense to at least start planning which dresses will carry us through the milder months. Whether you’re most looking forward to far-flung nuptials, that upcoming beach getaway or the first park picnic of the year, you’ll need the appropriate frock. And I know just where you should go to find it.
As much as we love the high street, there are certain pieces that are worth investing in a little more. And in my eyes, a special dress meets this criteria. The right dress can make you feel your absolute best like a pair of jeans or a pretty blouse just never will—there’s something so satisfying about slipping into a single item and knowing that’s your outfit 99% complete. Especially when it’s a beautifully-made, perfect-fitting item, and sometimes these qualities come with a higher price tag.
Not every designer find is worth the expense, but with the right labels, splashing out means you’ll wind up with something you’ll cherish for a long time. Below, I’ve rounded up nine dress brands that I think, budget allowing, are deserving of your hard-earned money and will most certainly be show-stopping pieces in your wardrobe for years to come.
