Quince
Promising review: "I love this dress so much. The material is thick and soft. The fit is so classy and feminine. I love that it is a touch fitted around the waist. The neckline is the slightest bit low for me personally, but I don’t think most people would mind, I just tend to be more conservative in that. And it’s easy to adjust with either a tank or a pin. I will say, I tend to wear my clothes hard, and I did tear off the bottom button fairly quickly by standing up super fast. This has nothing to do with the quality of the dress, I just tend to rough my clothes up. I fixed it very easily by sewing a few stitches underneath the bottom button to prevent that from happening again. This is one piece I plan to keep forever. It will be perfect for any season. I’m planning to change out the buttons eventually if I get bored of them. The black is just lovely too." —Molly
Get it from Quince for $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).

25. A pencil dress that is so comfy it looks and feels like a jumpsuit. BREAKING NEWS: It has pockets. (Are you noticing a theme here?) You're welcome. Simple and easy to wear to work and off-hours, this piece is just so darn cute.
A satiny, bandana-inspired dress because it's a fun way to add some flair to your neutrals. The intricate pattern is perfect for ushering in spring, even if the weather isn't quite on board yet. And can we talk about those flowy sleeves? 😍
I adore this dress for its effortlessly elevated basic vibe. As someone who loves neutrals, I’ve been stepping outside my comfort zone, and this print is a playful way to do so. The sleeves are so stylish, and the lightweight material makes it perfect for a desert festival look. It does run a little small, so I’d recommend sizing up for a fit like the model’s. —Never Fully Dressed, $150 (sizes 2–10 and 14–26).
27. A satin dress with a tie waist if you're on the hunt for something elegant. It looks way more expensive than it is, and I love that for you. This dress could work for a night out, but it could also be worn casually, depending on how you style it.
28. A conservative A-line dress for in-between seasons because your wardrobe could probably use it. I love the contrasting lines that this dress has because it's such an interesting detail. If you're in corporate, this might be just the thing to wear to your yearly review.
29. A frilly floral dress to embrace your inner romantic. Since it's a midi dress, it will keep (most of) your legs nice and warm. Plus, the print is so dang cute and the tie around the bust is perfection. It's def a great option for any upcoming life events you're being forced to attend (hello, wedding season).
