What To Wear: Spring Occasions

Spring is finally here—longer days, blooming flowers, and the perfect excuse to give your wardrobe a seasonal refresh. If you’re wondering what to wear: spring occasions, we’ve got you covered. From garden parties and weddings to weekend brunches and everything in between, Lily and Lionel’s latest collection is full of effortless, elegant pieces made for every springtime moment.

Effortless Looks for Daytime Events

Daytime spring events call for outfits that feel light, fresh, and easy to wear. Whether you're heading to a baby shower or catching up with friends over brunch, you want to look put-together without trying too hard. The Annie Maxi Dress in Wonderland Print is one of those throw-on-and-go pieces that somehow always looks amazing. With its floaty silhouette and soft floral print, it feels like spring in dress form. Pair it with strappy sandals and a woven bag for a look that’s as comfortable as it is pretty.

What To Wear: Spring Occasions

When dressing for those slightly more special spring occasions—think Easter lunches, engagement parties or daytime weddings—romantic fabrics and delicate details are the way to go. The Lydia Dress fits the bill perfectly. With its flowing shape and subtle feminine finish, it’s ideal for when you want to feel a little dressed up without being overdressed. Add some heeled mules and gold hoops, and you’re good to go.

If you’re in the mood for something a bit bolder, the Hayley Dress in Zebra Print brings an unexpected twist to spring dressing. The zebra-inspired pattern gives it a cool edge, but the soft silhouette keeps it feeling wearable. Throw on a leather jacket and ankle boots, and you’ve got the perfect look for city events or a day-to-night outing.

Easy Elegance for Outdoor Celebrations

Al fresco spring gatherings—picnics, birthdays, countryside getaways—call for dresses that feel breezy but still beautiful. The Annie Smocked Wishing Well Print Midi Dress in Multi is exactly that. With its stretchy smocked bodice and colourful floral print, it’s flattering, fun and super easy to wear all day.

Style it with espadrilles, sunnies, and maybe a straw hat for that effortless outdoor glam. If the temperature drops in the evening (classic British spring), just add a denim jacket and you’re set.

For All Those Springtime Weddings

Spring wedding invites rolling in? Time to find that perfect guest dress. The Jessica Detachable Strap Poppy Print Midi Dress in Multi is a standout. With a soft, romantic print and flattering shape, it's made for mingling, dancing, and definitely for being photographed. Bonus: the straps are detachable, so you can switch things up depending on your vibe.

Add a little clutch, some sparkly earrings and maybe a rosy glow on your cheeks—done.

A Few Quick Styling Tips

• Layers are your friend: Spring weather loves to keep us guessing. Always bring a light jacket or wrap just in case.

• Think smart shoes: Wedges or block heels are perfect for grass or cobblestone—no sinking, no stumbling.

• Accessories make the look: A pastel crossbody or a simple hair clip can tie everything together beautifully.

Spring is all about renewal, and your wardrobe deserves a little love too. Whether you're leaning into florals or playing with prints, Lily and Lionel has everything you need to look and feel amazing this season.
