After a long winter, everyone is more than ready for spring. And the easiest way to welcome in a new season, of course, is to swap out your wardrobe. But with so many cute spring dresses out there (to pair with jean jackets and comfy sandals of course!), how's a person to know where to start their shopping adventures? No need to worry—with this list, the hard work has been done for you, from browsing to ooh-ing and ahh-ing.

Whether you're looking for something flouncy and frilly to wear as an Easter dress or something a bit more subdued for a Mother's Day brunch, these options have you covered. And you aren't limited to typical seasonal rules here, either: While many of the picks selected do feature conventional spring color schemes and pretty florals, there are also plenty that stray from the tried-and-true motifs. After all, there are so many alternatives that are just as springy and special. A navy speckled print will have you rethinking your dedication to pastels, along with bold and bright shades that double as excellent summer dresses.

Pair these adorable options with a pair of white sneakers to keep it casual or pop on some comfy heels for an elevated look. Then just swap out for a pair of flip-flops and a straw hat come summertime. Now prepare for an instant burst of sunshine in the cute, comfortable dresses ahead.
