Whether you’re heading to church or a more secular celebration this Easter, a new outfit is definitely in order, and we have some ideas to help you chase away the winter wardrobe blahs and welcome the Easter Bunny back for another visit.
A sleeveless floral sheath
When it comes to Easter dresses, fresh white flowers are a pretty sight after your regular winter wardrobe of black, gray and more black. This Calvin Klein number hits just at the knee so you won’t be showing too much leg, and the higher neckline means you don’t need to worry about wardrobe malfunctions.
Floaty layers of chiffon
Light and airy, a chiffon dress is the ultimate middle finger to winter and the perfect welcome to spring. This one has tiers of the floaty fabric with a pretty, but not too sweet, floral pattern in shades of mauve, rose, gray and white.
A dress with long sleeves that isn’t dowdy
Easter fashion for women should not be stuffy. If the dress code calls for covered shoulders and a modest neckline, but you don’t want to look matronly, something like this Vince Camuto dress in pale blue fits the bill perfectly. The cut is classic and flattering, and the perforations amp up the style quotient.
A midi dress full of sunshine
Brighten up the place in a sunny yellow midi dress with beautiful blue flowers. The pretty fluttery sleeves are a bonus if you choose one of these Easter dresses.
A rosy wrap dress
This Easter dress has two major things going for it: The color and the wrap style are both universally flattering. The V-neckline isn’t too deep, and the fact that the wrap is faux means you don’t have to worry about flashing the entire congregation.
A printed maxi dress
A white lining complements the pretty sheer blue patterned overlay on this ankle-length maxi dress. Sheer three-quarter sleeves provide coverage without sacrificing style.
A soft watercolor high-low dress
Easter fashion for women has come a long way and this lavender and cream, interspersed with royal purple in an abstract pattern, creates an out-of-the-ordinary print on these floaty high-low Easter dresses. The collarbone-brushing neckline and knee-to-mid-calf hemline provide coverage while maintaining style.
A green lace dress
One of these jewel-toned green Easter dresses is a reminder that fresh grass is on its way, if it hasn’t arrived already. The sheath shape isn’t too snug around the waist or hips, but it isn’t shapeless and baggy, either.
BONUS: A pastel pantsuit
If Easter dresses aren’t your thing, suit up in a springy peach pantsuit with a coordinating shell or blouse underneath. You’ll be comfortable in your own style, while still being dressed appropriately for both the occasion and the season.
