Dress Up! The Playful Side of Fashion

March 2025 Issue

March 6 is National Dress Day, designed to celebrate the most versatile, feminine and fun article of clothing—the dress. This day reminds us to pay homage to the art of fashion, style and looking great all month long. This year, color and patterns are making a bold statement, with everything from bright colors to geometric prints to floral designs taking center stage.
We chose three styles to showcase these fun takes on spring dresses. Whether it’s mixing bold colors, stripes and dots, or intricate florals, patterns are a fun way to express individuality and creativity in your wardrobe. Dresses are one of our favorite things to wear year-round, but especially during spring with pleasant temperatures, cool breezes and fresh energy. It’s an easy way to feel put together without having to plan an entire outfit. As we welcome spring, be sure to take full advantage of sowing your colorful oats, dressing up, and embracing the playful side of fashion!
