Fashion Scoop: Spring Dress Trends at Every Budget

Posted by Colleen on February 16, 2009 in Fashion

Spring is just around the corner, or at least I hope it is, so it’s time to start taking a look at the latest trends out there for spring fashion. We’re not talking about ‘runway-model looks’ here; Dealio is going to show you what is wearable and what is hot for Spring 2009…whatever your budget!

After much reading and researching I have found that there are several trends for this coming season, many of which have carried over from the autumn and summer. For example, the color hot pink is supposed to be big this year, as are oversized necklaces and bangle bracelets. However, we are going to devote this segment of our “looks for less” publication to spring dresses.

Let’s take a look at the two hottest styles out for warmer weather:

No matter the length, a big trend for Spring ‘09 is the floral dress. You can’t walk past a window at your mall without seeing one! Personally I am thrilled the maxi dresses are stylish still; what’s more comfortable during a hot day than a long, flowy, cotton dress? Here are two floral maxis we found for you… First, by Milly, the Eden Roc Strapless Floral Maxi Dress from Shopbop.com. It measures 47″ long, is made of 100% cotton and is simply fabulous. It also comes with a fabulously high price tag: $425.00. Ouch!

On the other hand, you can be budget conscious and still look great this spring, thanks to Forever 21 and their low prices! Get this Paisley Chiffon Maxi Dress for literally a fraction of the price, just $27.80; be smart AND stylish!

And for those of you brave enough to don an all white dress, white eyelet is supposed to be big this season! It’s easy to see why… doesn’t just the sight of one of these dresses make you think of lazy days on a porch swing somewhere warm? Or is that just me? Here are a couple to choose from:

From Theory, the Teana Breezy (I LOVE that name- so fitting) White Eyelet Dress on sale at Amazon.com. Still comes with a hefty price tag, even at a discounted price, of $258.00.

Or shop for this white eyelet dress by Isaac Mizrahi for Target! Can you believe it’s just $11.50? It’s not too often you see a trend marked down that much before the season even kicks off! Oh the luck!

So no matter what your style this spring, now you have an idea of a few dress trends for the upcoming season. You choose, but I am betting you’ll prefer the look for less!
