Easter signals the start of spring, a season that’s filled with new life, fresh energy, and warmer weather. It also serves as the perfect inspiration when choosing your Easter outfit!
Whether your Easter gathering is a low-key brunch or an all-out family affair with the whole crew, it’s the perfect excuse for new clothes. The changing season means that we can (finally) put away our winter coats and break out shorter sleeves, fun floral patterns, and cute new styles.
Pastel Color Dresses
Pastel colors are a classic spring look–especially for Easter! Cheerful pastels feel instantly springy and come in all shapes and silhouettes. Whether you go with a puff sleeve mini dress, a flowy midi dress, or even an airy romper, you can’t go wrong with pastel hues for your Easter outfit.
Women who want to lean into the spring look can pair their pastel dress with neutral sandals and delicate jewelry for a sweetly seasonal look. Neutral shoes with a hint of sparkle will add some shimmer to your outfit without overpowering the delicate colors.
Cute Shirt Dresses
As spring weather gets nicer, it’s finally warm enough to wear a cute shirt dress! Shirt dresses have a fun, playful, and polished look that is perfect for brunch or patio dining. These shirt dresses look great with a pair of strappy sandals or booties and are extremely versatile.
You can dress them up with fancy jewelry or a belt to draw in the waist, or pair them with casual shoes. You can also elevate a shirt dress by adding a blazer– which will keep you warm as a bonus if there’s a sudden dip in the weather. (It’s spring– it happens sometimes!)
Pretty White Dresses
A lovely white dress is the perfect foundation for a cute Easter outfit. White dresses are bright and full of energy, just like the spring season. So whether you wear a playful mini dress or a flowy maxi dress, you’ll welcome the warm weather in style with this fresh, upbeat look.
White dresses can be elegantly simple or have cute, fun details like eyelet and lace trim to bring more texture to your outfit. Finish off your look with gold jewelry to bring a little extra sparkle. For a pop of color, you can experiment with bright shoes–or you can keep the all-white look going with a pair of trendy white booties.
Floral Print Dresses
If you’re wondering what to wear for Easter, floral print dresses are the perfect answer. Floral dresses come in fun print and color options for Easter, from cute, delicate ditsy prints to brighter, bolder flowers.
Floral print dresses are perfect for a garden party or other outdoor gathering. Rock white sneakers to add a playful, more casual element to your outfit, or you can wear strappy heels or wedge sandals to show off that bright spring pedicure.
Eyelet Dresses
Eyelet is a quintessentially spring fabric–light, airy, with floral-inspired details that nod to the season. Plus, the cutwork instantly adds interest to any solid color spring dress.
To get your wardrobe in spring shape, an eyelet dress is perfect for Easter–and beyond. White is the most classic option when it comes to this embroidered fabric, but everything from navy to orange prints are on offer, and because of its casual nature, you can pair eyelet easily with sneakers or heels!
Tiered Ruffle Dresses
Add some flouncy fun to your look this Easter with a tiered ruffle dress. Tiered dresses are romantic, whimsical, and super on-trend for spring. Plus, tiers come in a variety of different lengths, so you can opt for multiple tiers with dramatic ruffles, or simpler, longer tiers with a less pronounced ruffle near the hemline.
Tiers and ruffles speak for themselves, so pair a dress like this with minimal jewelry, like hoop earrings and a dainty necklace– especially if there’s a bodice ruffle that might compete with a more dramatic necklace. A cute clutch completes the look and won’t distract from the ruffles or disrupt your dress’s silhouette.
Babydoll Dresses
Babydoll dresses are oh-so-sweet, and perfect for a fun Easter celebration! With their cute flowy silhouettes and high waistlines, they’re also extremely comfortable for a spring celebration. If your Easter gathering is a little fancier, look for a babydoll dress in an elevated fabric like satin or one with details like keyhole cutouts, puff sleeves, or bodice detailing.
Because these dresses have short hemlines, they look perfect with heels, especially heels with vintage-inspired elements like rounded toes, ankle straps, or ribbon accents. Heeled or flatform espadrilles also look especially cute with a babydoll dress–and super springy!
Two-Piece Dresses
A two-piece dress is a versatile, stylish option that’s perfect for any sunny spring day. Feminine, playful, and just a little bit flirty, a matching set offers plenty of flexibility for outfit options that extend well beyond Easter. Two-piece dresses in floral prints and light crochet knits can be worn to your spring Easter gathering and through the summer season (they’re the ultimate vacation packing hack).
