The Best Dresses For Weddings and Graduations

Dresses are a wonderful way to enhance your wardrobe and get away from the boredom that the same shorts and shirt combinations bring. They allow us to Dress up a bit without being too formal and feel delightfully feminine in the process. The varying fabrics, dress lengths, colors, and patterns open up a world of wardrobe opportunities. With spring in full bloom and summer just around the corner, putting on a lovely flowing dress with a pair of sandals is the perfect outfit for lunch with friends or a visit to the local farmer’s market.

If you want to add a little bit extra to your outfit, don’t shy away from mixing up your accessory selections. For example, you can elevate your look with some flashy jewelry or a chic hat. Or, you can take your look in a completely different direction by changing up your footwear – especially with a pair of cowboy boots or wedge sandals. Here are some beautiful dress options that really caught our eye, so you can look your best when you’re out and about this spring.

Knee-Length Knockouts

When you’ve found your favorite pair of cowboy boots, it’s hard not to want to wear them with everything. Maxi dresses are the perfect option to pair with tall boots, and for cool evenings you can add a denim jacket or a cardigan. If you’ve got a favorite mini dress or little black dress, you can elevate your look by pairing it with some high boots for a date night with your main squeeze or a night out with your girlfriends.

Long flowing dresses with classic western boots are the perfect way to bring out the country girl in all of us, making them a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life – if only in our minds.

And let’s face it: when you find a beautiful long dress made of a soft fabric that flows when you walk, it’s almost as good as finding the perfect pair of jeans, and you’ll find it hard to take it off at the end of the day.

Your go-to shoes may not be a pair of cowboy boots right now, but once you find a pair you love, they’ll become one of your favorite options. And finding fun dresses to wear with cowboy boots is an easier task than you might think, as evidenced by all of the beautiful options shown here. You’ll find that different types of dresses – from a simple dress to a floral dress to one with the perfect pop of color – will work well with a good pair of boots. This wardrobe combination will become a summer staple, allowing you to test new styles and different looks.
