These flattering and easy-to-wear styles will be a welcome addition to your wardrobe. (Nordstrom)
To put it simply, nothing compares to the feeling of slipping on that first flowy dress of the season. That once-in-a-year moment is especially true if it's a new flowy dress. As someone who loves a good spring twirl and is a professional shopper, I'm having the best day: Nordstrom's dress section is seriously stocked with comfortable, flattering and stylish maxi dresses right now. (Some are even on sale for as low as $34!)
After scouring thousands Nordstrom's site, I found the looks that you'll want to live in 24/7 this spring and summer. These easy breezy dresses work well for pretty much any body type, too, making them ideal for everyone. Want a sneak peek? There's this flirty and simple black maxi dress for $50 with the prettiest ruffled sleeves. Oh, and I'm also obsessed with this soft pink sundress that's meant for a beach vacation (and is a joyful 70% off). Maxi dress heaven is real. Scroll below for more flattering flowy maxi dresses at Nordstrom and prepare for the compliments to roll in. And, yes, there are many florals on this list.
This classic style is the ultimate throw-on-and-go number (which is a must in every closet). And it's also a sweet $37?! I know — I couldn't believe it either. Made of a breezy and relaxed jersey fabric that's ideal for toasty summer days, this maxi is incredibly soft and drapes effortlessly over your body.
Style it with a strappy sandal for date night or comfy sneakers for long days running around town. And that royal blue shade is the perfect amount of bold without being too loud, you know? (If you want something more subtle, scoop up the coral shade.)
'Tis the season to pull out all the bright colors — and you can never go wrong with pink. This comfortable maxi has a loose, flowing fit with hidden pockets. There's also a tie to cinch your waist for an extra-snatched look.
Plus, the cotton and silk fabric blend will make you feel expensive and fancy as hell. Oh, and that full fabric and tiered skirt is just meant for late-night dancing.
Ever since Hill House Home's Ellie Nap Dress dropped, dresses with ruffle straps have been it. And as someone who owns six Ellie's, I can confidently say that the silhouette looks just as good IRL.
This cotton frock has the same trendy sleeves but an even flowier and freer skirt to maximize the breeziness (and it's a fraction of the price at just over $50). The black color is super versatile; it's also available in white, blue and coral.
I will never not love a navy dress with tiny white polka dots like this easy maxi. It's fun, girly and timeless without being too simple. Just by looking at it you can tell that it's comfy, but if you need more proof, the dress is a touchably soft stretch-jersey fabric.
It'll look great with sneakers, but there's just something so chic about styling it with a white slide like they do with this model.
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking, I know, I know. But I can never resist a good floral maxi dress like this one. It fits the season's boho trend perfectly thanks to the smocked waist (with a drawstring!) and flowy silhouette.
There are buttons lined all the way up from the hem to the V-neckline, so you can show as much or as little skin as you want. Just slide it on over your head and frolic.
One of the most surprising trends this year has been soft, pastel yellows. Even more surprising? I, a certified yellow hater, am obsessed with it all — including this flirty boho style from Free People.
Yes, the sleeves are long, but the billowy fabric (100% cotton!) is cool enough for you to wear on hot, sunny days and not suffocate. It also doubles as the perfect bathing suit cover-up thanks to the front buttons.
If your fridge looks anything like mine, then you have at least three weddings to go to from now through June (and that's not counting all of the summer and fall weddings). That's why a versatile spring wedding guest dress that can be worn over and over again without losing its wow factor needs to be on your shopping list.
Luckily, this $60 wrap dress exists. With the right accessories and shoes, it can work for all dress codes. Well, except for white tie, but do those exist anymore? If so, please invite me.
Floral maxi dresses are a hallmark of any spring wardrobe, but they don't have to be bright or loud. This understated number works as a neutral. It's smocked at the waist and features a ruffle neckline and tiered skirt for a super-flattering silhouette.
Wear it with heeled sandals or pumps for a spring wedding or slip on a pair of boots or flats for the office. You can even go with a pair of white sneakers for an effortless look.
Hear me out: This bold Free People maxi dress looks like the fashion version of rainbow sherbet on a hot day. Don't ask me why, but it does! Like a lot of worth-it flowy dresses, this one has a smocked waist that's flattering and comfortable. What makes it even better, though, are the subtle puff sleeves and fun crisscrossed straps at the back. Oh, and that boat neck is so elegant.
Not into the rainbow sherbet vibes? Scoop up the frock in a black and white combo or brown polka dot print.
This frilly dress from Paige is so dainty without seeming childish. The smocked waist and double-tiered skirt (with a ruffle hem) look great on every body type. Add a pair of strappy sandals and you're ready for a Saturday night dinner or Sunday brunch.
I'm a huge fan of frilly white dresses in the summer, but this style also comes in black and a light blue that Cinderella would trip over her glass slippers for.
