Others might wear floral prints, but theirs won’t be as cool as these funky mini bouquets.

A little bit boho, a little bit sexy and definitely getting added to cart.

Get the flattering effect of a strapless dress without the hassle of having to pull it up every two minutes.

Just because you want a dress to have sleeves doesn’t mean it also needs to have shoulders.

This shimmery shade of red is a gorgeous nod to the holidays.

Take your favorite slip dress, add sleeves, et voilà! You’ll end up with a flirty, flowing midi you can also wear a regular bra with.

Sheer sleeves do the trick, while still letting you show off a little skin.

An open back balances a more demure neckline.

These miniature pink spots already feel like the life of the party, so get yourself out on the dance floor.

The combination of peekaboo lace, blocking with solid fabric and a dainty ribbon belt helps create the illusion of an hourglass figure (even if you’re straight as a board).

Embrace the subtle ’70s vibes with a pair of platform sandals and a Farrah Fawcett-inspired blowout.

A gorgeous classic with a sexy twist.

Be sure to do a few twirls on the dance floor to really get the full effect of this breezy, asymmetrical maxi.

Wear this to your cousin’s wedding, a New Year’s Eve soiree and again on your birthday, to really get the most bang for your sequin-covered buck.

Add a matching electric blue ribbon to your ponytail (or even around your waist) to help this unexpected color combo really pop.

Give the groomsmen a run for their money.

Because if you’re going to wear spots, they might as well be made from shimmering gold.

Like a fall bouquet, but in dress form.

We’ve never seen a sequin dress quite like this one and now we’re fully obsessed. (Psst, it alsocomes in a gown if the dress code is black tie.)

A keyhole back adds just a touch of sex appeal to this otherwise modest frock.

The subtle swirling pattern is reminiscent of trendy zebra print without being quite so wild.

’Tis the fabric of the season, after all.

Stick to fancy flats and colorful statement earrings for a daytime reception, or sport a pair of strappy stilettos and a glittering gold clutch for a more formal evening affair.

All that ruching at the midsection is great for disguising any lumps or bumps you might be feeling self-conscious about.

Because sometimes the simplest option is also the most elegant.

Velvet and sequins and sleeves? This dress has it all.

A long-sleeve maxi dress splashed with a moody floral print might feel a bit overwhelming for some folks, which is why we especially love the black panels providing contrast at the hem, on the sleeves and at the neckline.

We came for the super-flattering wrap silhouette but stayed for the giant pink bow.

There’s a very subtle metallic shimmer that elevates this dress from a pretty frock to one that’s worthy of your friend’s big day.

The ruched skirt gives the same flattering fit as a body-con dress but won’t ride up or leave you to deal with annoying visible panty lines.
