Samantha’s Pick #1

Want to feel flirty? Feminine? A little retro? For Samantha, this fun Flutter Sleeve Tie Front Midi Dress is the answer. “I’ve been a fan of ruffles for years, and this design ties into a variety of micro seasonal trends.” If you’re a 2022 bride like Samantha, dress it up with heels for a simple and stunning wedding shower look—or if you’re off to a casual outing like brunch, pair it with your comfiest white sneakers. The details in this design make it easy to create a full look effortlessly. Take Samantha’s advice: welcome warm weather and show a little skin with modest touches like the front-tie bodice.

Samantha’s Pick #2

“If spring were a dress, it would be this.” Samantha looks forward to breaking out florals every year. Slightly fancy and fully appropriate for every type of dress code, this Floral Satin Twist Waist Hi-Lo Midi Dress is the perfect focal point of your finest wedding guest look or a “throw-on-and-go” solution for those unexpectedly beautiful spring days in New York City. This dress caught Sam’s attention for one other reason: “We’ve been seeing the slip dress trend take off thanks to every style icon, actress and influencer.”

“Who doesn't love a new take on the little black dress?” Kayla knows LBDs aren’t just for date night anymore and says this V-Neck Back Cutout Tiered Ruffle Maxi Dress can be worn “nearly anywhere”—a bachelorette party, a dinner, or a regular night out with your BFFs. The ruffled, flowing design and eye-catching textures elevates this simple black dress. Plus, you’ll never have to worry about being off trend with this evergreen classic.

Kayla’s Pick #2

To Kayla, this Satin Halter Side Cutout Midi Dress in pastel pink screams “Spring!” This is the perfect choice for an outdoor wedding—but according to Kayla; “TBH, you could style it for just about anything. This dress is simple and chic. Plus, the material and flowy details on the skirt make it easy to dress up or down for any occasion.” As far as trends go, Kayla says this dress is just one of the many “multi-purpose” items you’ll see worn this season. Whether you’re heading to the ceremony or ready to hit the reception, this piece transitions from day-to-night with ease (and a few accessories!).
