Spring doesn’t just arrive. It makes an entrance. One minute you’re stomping around in salt-stained boots, the next you’re contemplating if your toenails are ready for public viewing. It’s a seasonal shift that demands a wardrobe response — namely, fewer sleeves, more breeze.
Enter: the Amazon dress. Yes, Amazon. Because while your dream wardrobe might live on a Parisian mood board, your actual calendar (weddings, brunches, rooftop whatevers) demands something fast, flattering and preferably under $50. From fluttery florals to dresses that suggest you actually RSVP’d “yes” with confidence, these are the ones worth adding to cart.
