Top 10 Button Front Dresses

The Simple Dress Trend That We're Seeing Everywhere

The Simple Dress Trend That We're Seeing Everywhere

Spring has seen its fair share of dress trends. Every year, a new It dress seems to take over the racks as well as our Instagram feeds. There was the off-the-shoulder dress, the denim dress, the slip dress, and of course, who could forget the ultra-flattering wrap dress? (We still haven’t.) While we still adore each of these styles, there’s a silhouette we’re currently obsessing over big time: the button-front dress. We don’t really know why, but there’s something about this style that gives off major summertime vibes. We’re talking long walks through coastal towns, piña coladas on the beach kinda vibes. Whether you opt for a mini, midi, fitted, or flared version, the button-adorned dress is a flattering and feminine style that works for many warm-weather occasions. Below, discover our algorithm-approved picks for the Top 10 button-front dresses you can buy, and get ready to wear this style on repeat for the rest of the season. Opening image: madewell.com
