If we told you that short-sleeved maxi dresses were going to be a must have for Spring, you might not believe us. We get it; they're not always sexy, sometimes actually dowdy-looking, and there doesn't seem to be anything particularly fresh or exciting about them. To that we say, you just need to see the outfits in action on Behati Prinsloo and Lily Aldridge to be convinced.

The VS Angels were out in LA on Tuesday doing some shopping — and a little twinning — in their short-sleeved button-front maxi dresses, cool shades, and chic flats. The trick you see is all in accessorizing. Each transformed the basic into something street style worthy with the addition of eye-catching details, like Behati's studded flats or Lily's floral-embossed bag. Now, imagine switching up your own maxi with lace-up sandals one day, a pair of chic block heels the next — then try telling us it's not a new essential. Read on to see how the supermodels are making this a must have, then shop the pieces to re-create their perfect Spring looks.
