Whether you are religious or not, Easter is a great reason to dress up and celebrate. This year, the holiday falls on April 21 which means that we’ll officially be a month into spring so you can bid adieu to dark clothing and opt for something lighter and much brighter.
If you’re headed to church that Sunday, a midi or knee-length dress with three-quarter or long sleeves is absolutely appropriate. Or if you’d rather wear a sleeveless number, put on a cute cardigan or jacket in church and when the hymns are over for the day, take it off and head to lunch.
Don’t be afraid to wear color. Whether it’s a dress in a bold floral print or a bright hue, celebrate with pops of color. Feminine details such as ruffles, pearly buttons, and intricate embroideries are always a welcome addition to a classic or conservative silhouette.
Now check out the best and most stylish dresses to wear on Easter this spring.
