I don't know about you, but I have been desperately trying to find things to look forward to this year and while it's not a tropical vacation or a big party with

my friends, new dress trends do get me pretty excited for the days ahead. After closely analyzing the S/S 21 collections, there were quite a few new trending styles I took note of, but the 5 ahead were the ones I felt you absolutely must know about. 

Including every style from more formal dresses with lots of volume to the new basic dress you have to have in your 2021 wardrobe, the 5 dress trends ahead are bound to be big, and that's a fact. Ahead you will see my favorite images of these striking frocks from the spring collections in addition to my favorite shopping picks within each. If you're a dress gal, get ready to be in heaven and good luck resisting the shopping selection below.
