Ultimate Guide to the Best Easter Dresses
Easter is just around the corner so it’s time to start thinking about Easter dresses for the day!
Whether you’re dressing up for church, a family gathering or an Easter egg hunt, the right Easter dress can set the tone for the day. I mean, you want to be cute and comfy right?
In our house, we focus on the fact that Jesus rose from the dead and is ALIVE and Easter is one big party.
But we do like to dress up too, or rather I like to dress up – my kids not so much.
Each year, I usually find one dress (usually for one of my daughters) and base the rest of the family’s outfits on it, playing up the colors and patterns.
A few years ago it was an adorable multi-colored Lily Pulitzer I found for my baby girl. We all coordinated with that and I think it turned out really cute.
In this post, we’ve rounded up the best Easter dresses for every style and occasion so you’ll be all set to hop into the holiday feeling stylish and ready to celebrate!

Finding the Perfect Dresses for Easter
- Like I mentioned, I usually gravitate to one pattern or color each year.
- For Easter, I usually like something bold and bright.
- Consider the Weather: Easter can bring everything from sunny days to unexpected chilly breezes, so choose a dress that fits the season—light and breezy for warmer weather, or layered and cozy for cooler temps. I usually have a cute cardigan on hand because April can be chilly where we live.
- Think About Comfort: Whether you’re running around with kids or sitting down for a family meal, make sure your dress allows for movement and comfort. Look for soft fabrics and flattering cuts that will keep you feeling at go all day.
- Embrace Personal Style: Don’t be afraid to add a personal touch! Whether you love classic pastels, bold prints, or a more modern silhouette, choose a dress that makes you feel like the best version of yourself this Easter.



Easter Dress Styles and Options
- Short sleeve, long sleeve, or sleeveless dresses to choose from.
- V-neck or other necklines to fit your style.
- Floral A-Line Dresses: Timeless and feminine floral A-line dresses are perfect for Easter. They fit well. And there’s something cheerful about them with bright prints and soft flowy fabrics.
- Pastel Midi Dresses: Soft pastel colors like blush pink, mint green or lavender are a classic Easter choice. A midi dress adds sophistication while still being playful. Good for church services and family gatherings.
- Breezy Maxis with Ruffles: For a more relaxed boho look a flowy maxi dress with ruffle details or tiered layers is a great option. It’s stylish, comfortable and perfect for Easter egg hunts or outdoor picnics.

How to Style Your Easter Dresses
- Wear Comfortable Shoes: Choose cute but practical shoes like ballet flats, strappy sandals or low wedges. They’ll keep you comfortable for all the Easter activities while adding some style to your dress. You’ve got to have something practical while searching for those adorable Easter Baskets.
- Layer with a Light Cardigan or Shawl: If it’s cold outside layer your Easter dress with a light cardigan, a cropped denim jacket or a soft shawl. This will add warmth and depth to your look while keeping it seasonally appropriate.
- Layer with Sheer Tights or Leggings: If you’re worried about cooler temps or want a bit more coverage go for sheer tights or leggings in a neutral tone. They’ll keep your legs warm while still giving you the feminine flow of the dress.


How to Accessorize Your Easter Dresses
- Learn how to accessorize your Easter dress with hats, bags and jewelry.
- Add a Belt for Shape: If you’re wearing a loose or flowy dress cinch your waist with a belt. A thin, metallic or woven belt will add shape to your look, create a flattering silhouette while still being relaxed and comfortable for the holiday.
- Play with Pastel Jewelry: Soft pastel colored earrings, necklaces or bracelets in lavender, mint or peach add a touch of spring to your outfit. Think dainty pieces that complement rather than overpower your dress.
- Top with a Wide-Brim Hat: A wide-brimmed hat in a neutral or soft pastel color is both stylish and practical for sunny Easter days. It adds some glamour and gives your look a light and airy feel.
- Choose a Fun, Feminine Scarf: Wrap a lightweight scarf around your neck or drape it over your shoulders for a cozy and stylish touch. Go for floral patterns, light fabrics or even a pastel ombré to tie in the Easter theme and add some extra flair to your dress.
- Consider Adding Real Flowers: Back in the day my dad used to get all the ladies in our family floral wristbands. I used to love having real flowers on my wrist. They smelled so good and made me feel special. You could always add real flowers into your hair. Delicate and pretty.
