Easter Dresses That’ll Turn Heads at Brunch (and Beyond)

Spring has officially sprung, and with it comes a long list of events that call for dresses. Top of that list? Easter. The bunny will be here before you know it which means it’s time to start thinking about a dress. Hop to it. 

Whether you’re brunching with family or planning a casual picnic with friends, Easter Sunday calls for effortless elegance. Think crisp cotton poplin with sculptural silhouettes, puff sleeves that add a feminine touch, and midi lengths that sweep the grass as you chase kiddos around for chocolate eggs. Brands like Emilia Wickstead, Reformation, and Zimmermann are delivering all of the above in delicate doses.

Color-wise, yes to pale blue, butter yellow, and pink —but also loving unexpected neutrals and, of course, a bright white is never a bad idea. Pair your dress with barely-there sandals, a structured mini bag, and your favorite pair of sunglasses for the finishing touch. 

Below, a shopping list to get you started.
