And guess what? They're having a moment again! You'll see denim dresses at practically every retailer this spring, so you can find the one that's just right for you. Even Ree Drummond, who's normally a jeans-and-blouse kind of girl, fell in love with a denim tunic dress last year.

You can wear a cute midi dress version to work or layer a mini dress over a pair of pants. There are T-shirt dresses for casual weekend activities. You'll even find maxi dresses that you can layer now and wear as is come summer. And plenty of these options you can dress up for date night! So pick what works best for your style and wardrobe, and just have fun with it.
