Denim, satin, and lace dresses, oh my.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A smocked mini dress for anyone who has vowed to make 2025 the year they learn how to make sourdough. This is the dress of someone who knows their way around a loaf of fresh bread, no doubt.
2. A button-down puff-sleeve mini dress when you don't want dressing "casual" to mean basic. And what's cuter than a row of little buttons?
3. A keyhole cutout mini slip dress you can take from brunch to the club with nothing more than a simple accessory and shoe change. Sounds like a busy day, but oh so fun!
4. A Wildfang shirtdress with sparkly pinstripes that take the classic pattern to new heights. Paired with white sneaks, it's the casual office, errand, and hang out 'fit dreams are made of.
5. A cowl-neck halter mini dress if your go-to "nice" dress is feeling a little stale. This one is equal parts class and va-va-voom. A difficult balance you're gonna nail.
6. An off-the-shoulder shift dress for days when you want to go with the flow and just wear something loose. Let your hair down, throw on a statement necklace, and go into your day knowing you look easy, breezy, and fabulous.
7. A cowl-neck mini dress which has a 1970s feel without being too literal. It's more of an homage to the era — you're gonna sound so smart telling people that.
8. A smocked strapless mini dress available in two colors, but I'm just warning you now that one of them is an adorable print of vintage flower and produce ads. Prepare your wallet!
9. A sheer ladder knit maxi dress for all my goth mermaids out there. Wear it over a slip dress for more coverage with a little edge or over a little less if you feel like going for it. Versatility rules the day.
10. A lace mini dress proving once and for all that lace doesn't mean stuffy. In fact, this off-the-shoulder number is just about the coolest use of lace I've seen in quite some time.
11. A frilled A-line mini dress so you can rock a "Yeehaw!" vibe without going full denim for once. Nothing against denim, but sometimes you just want something a little lighter...especially for any upcoming festivals this summer!
Urban Outfitters
Promising review:"It is an incredibly cute dress. I was impressed with how nice the material is. Great for a date night." — rotilover
12. A lace baby doll mini dress that's giving me Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice vibes but updates it for the 21st century. Just saying, you might want to pencil "stranger declares love for me in a romantic smattering of rain" into your calendar.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review:"Omg this is so cute. I like the color and fit and fabric of this material. Got so many compliments wearing this! Will be getting in more colors!" — uoloverrrrr123321
13. A plaid strapless midi dress with a slightly dipped waistline, making this almost a casual gown. Ugh, I'm such a sucker for putting two disparate styles together into one. It's a recipe for magic every time.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review:"I am obsessed with this!! Looks so, so, so cute. Fits like a dream. It's not hard to get on anywhere which was a pleasant surprise." — jennaamg
14. A mesh halter scarf dress if saying that you're "influenced" by '90s style is an understatement. Can't wait for you to hang this next to your mini skirts, low-rise jeans, and narrow little scarves.
15. A mesh strapless midi dress available in 10 colors and prints, which is to say, if you're obsessed (which I think you will be), you can go ahead and grab a few. A perfect party dress is hard to find, so when you do, it's best to take advantage.
Promising review:"This dress is nice quality and the scalloped edge detail gives it a feminine yet edgy detail that makes it different from many similar UO styles. Great dress!" — glitznglamgal
16. A bow-back satin dress if Mini is your middle name and wearing clothes with big ol' bows is your game. This versatile little number is gonna get a lot of wear, I just know it.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review:"This dress actually fit so perfect it's not even funny. I love how playful the bottom of the dress is instead of it being a bodycon. the bow in the back helps a lot for adjustment and can be sized up or sized down. Love this so much, everyone should have a cutesy dress like this one." — juliamenesess
17. A shirred plaid long-sleeve mini dress because texture is one of the most underrated facets of fashion. Its crinkly texture is trendy, looks amazing with the pattern and hey, you don't have to iron it.
Urban Outfitters
Price: $51 (available in sizes XS–XL)
18. An adjustable satin slip dress which comes with its own matching scarf you can wear around your neck, as a waist tie, or any other way you can dream up. Love a coordinating moment.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review: "Super cute, great fit, especially if you're a plus size girly. I love that it's so versatile, and you are able to adjust it. The quality is super nice. 10/10!" — AdriMclovin
Price: $69.99 (originally $88, available in sizes XS–3X)
19. A Puma long-sleeve half-zip knit dress because sporty dresses DO exist, and they're nothing short of divine. Messy bun. Chunky sneakers. Gold earrings. Look complete.
Urban Outfitters
Price: $60 (available in sizes XS–XL)
20. A lace bell-sleeve mini dress made for karaoke night, especially when you know you're gonna do some Fleetwood Mac. Your rendition of "Landslide" makes me cry every time...
Urban Outfitters
Price: $79 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)
21. A ruffle trim midi dress because slip dresses come in all shapes and sizes, which is great news because, boy, oh boy, are they comfortable. Your new fave style also happens to feel like a nightie. How about that?
Urban Outfitters
Price: $69 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)
22. A fit-and-flare dress whose visible corset-shaped seams give it a structural look that'll reign in some compliments. Can't you just picture this with some cowboy boots, too?
Urban Outfitters
Price: $49 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)
23. An asymmetric lace-trim dress with a small slit so you can twirl all day long without feeling constrained. I love the seaming on this, which gives it a boho feel while maintaining a simple silhouette.
Urban Outfitters
Price: $69 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)
24. A pinstripe mock-neck dress for anyone looking to do some serious power dressing. Be as bold in your dressing as you'd be in the board room.
Urban Outfitters
Price: $48 (available in sizes XS–XL)
25. A bow detail mini dress because after seeing how cute these straps are, how could you possibly leave them behind? I knew I got FOMO for a lot of things, but I didn't know it extended all the way to bow dress straps.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review:"Absolutely adore this dress! It looks exactly like the picture and is what I expected. Fits true to size and is actually a very stretchy material. Not see-through at all and is good quality. It may be a bit short for some people, but I am just obsessed!!" — Brooke025
Price: $59 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors)
26. A fitted denim dress so your love of the most wonderful fabric in the land doesn't only have to be relegated to pants. The midi length makes it perfect for layering in the late winter and spring, and the thin straps will make the transition to spring and summer easy as pie.
Urban Outfitters
Price: $69 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)
27. A baby doll mini dress with a sweetheart neckline and bow at the bust. And that's not even to mention the color blocking, which ties it all together. *chef's kiss*
Urban Outfitters
Price: $65 (available in sizes XXS–XXL)

The Thrilling Evidence of Jane Austen's Imagination
Visitors to the Morgan Library & Museum's new exhibition, 'A Lively Mind: Jane Austen at 250,' will notice that it is full of interesting personal items connected to the author. These include her turquoise and gold ring, briefly owned by the American pop star Kelly Clarkson and here on loan from Austen's house in Hampshire, England; a hand-sewn replica of a silk pelisse coat Austen is said to have worn; and a reproduction of the modest desk on which she wrote her six extraordinary novels, masterpieces of early-19th century English literature. But the show, which marks the 250th anniversary of Austen's birth, persuasively puts much of its focus on her work — what she did and how and why she did it. Providing a vigorous counterargument to the image of Austen as a retiring spinster who wrote as a kind of amusing pastime, the show uses letters, manuscripts and more to trace the trajectory of her career and illustrate how seriously she took her vocation. It's thrilling to be presented with the evidence. Here, for instance, is a tiny scrap of paper on which Austen listed the 'profits from my novels.' Here's one of three books in which she copied out some of her teenage writings — proof that she channeled her imagination into fiction, and considered how it might look in books, even as a girl. And here's a heavily emended page — full of crossed-out lines and inserted words — from an unfinished novel (posthumously published as 'The Watsons') showing Austen to be a diligent rewriter as well as a writer. 'We wanted to get the working copy in front of people because some of the myths about Austen's authorship that were promulgated after her death by family members included that she didn't care about fame, she didn't care about profit, and she didn't work hard,' said Juliette Wells, professor of literary studies at Goucher College and a co-curator, along with Dale Stinchcomb, of the exhibition. It shows how Austen's family supported her work and 'examines how it was possible for Austen to publish her now-beloved novels when women generally were not permitted to become writers,' Stinchcomb, the Morgan's curator of literary and historical manuscripts, said.
