This is particularly true in the spring/summer, when all you have to do is add a lightweight jacket, a pair of chic flats, and you're pretty much good to go.

Luckily for those of us who love to live in dresses, they couldn't be more on-trend at the moment, and there are so many different styles around to suit every figure.

Here are the only 6 dresses you need hanging in your wardrobe this season, with options for work, the weekend and weddings...

The animal print dress

The high street is going wild for animal print yet again this season, and there are countless options on offer, from leopard and snake to tiger.

Whether you go for a classic print or want to try a brightly coloured iteration, simply add a pair of white trainers and your outfit will be complete.


The yellow dress

The sunshine shade is undoubtedly this season's hottest hue, so investing in a yellow sundress is the obvious answer for your summer holiday wardrobe.

There are also plenty of smart midi dresses around that will look equally chic back at home, whether you're after a casual weekend look or a smart summer events outfit.


The belted dress

It's time to accentuate your waist because the belted dress is big news this season, whether you go for a classic wrap dress or a more statement piece.

Flattering and chic, the belted dress is your new wardrobe hero for work and weekend dressing alike.


The prairie dress

Those of us who prefer to cover our arms will be delighted to hear that long-sleeve dresses are still a huge trend for spring/summer. The prairie dress (as it's known in fashion circles) comes in a floral print, hits to a midi length and couldn't be easier to style with bare legs and flats.

The best bit? If the weather isn't behaving, your prairie dress will look just as chic with a leather jacket and black ankle boots.


The denim dress

Denim dresses are your new weekend wardrobe go-to, whether you opt for a holiday-ready mini dress, a smarter belted midi, or a cute smock.

Available in an array of washes, we're particularly keen on darker denim dresses like the hero piece from Holly Willoughby's latest range with M&S.


The shirt dress

Flattering and foolproof, the shirt dress is unquestionable a classic, so we're pleased to see it back on the style agenda for spring/summer 2019.

From tailored options that will work hard at the office to more relaxed styles that are perfect for weekends away, we can promise you'll get a lot of wear out of your trusty shirt dress.

So, there you have it, the only 6 spring dresses you need to know about this year – we might just have to buy one of each...
