When it comes to spring fashion, there's always a case to be made for shorts and rompers on casual days . . . but does anything truly charm like a twirly sundress? In fact, pairing one with your favorite sneakers or heels can entirely change a look from days in the park to evenings strolling about for double the use out of just the one piece.
Because sunny days are upon us, we combed through hundreds of dresses at Nordstrom to see which ones belong in our carts as we prepare for warmer weather. And since we're always looking to save money, we only highlighted picks that are less than $100. When you wear these on repeat for months (like we will), you'll get your money's worth in no time at all. See our favorite any-occasion dresses for spring ahead, with long and short options.
