With the season of chocolate eggs and fluffy white bunnies officially upon us, the arrival of Easter marks the perfect opportunity to bring refreshing pastels into your wardrobe. Whether you prefer powder blues or baby pinks, try updating your sartorial statement for the long weekend with these gorgeous and spring-ready frocks.

1) Scervino Street Short Dress, $155: We are loving the sunny yellow shade of this ladylike frock by Scervino Street. The cheerful hue is sure to awaken your spring wardrobe, while the round collar and demure short sleeves make the dress appropriate for a family dinner.

2) Eliza J Lace & Faille Dress, $207: For the girlish trendsetter who adores confectionary hues, this dainty cap-sleeved number just may complete your style. The cinched-in waistline, flared cut and luxurious lacy bodice bring a feminine finish to the look. Meanwhile, the pretty pink shade can easily flatter a variety of skin tones.

3) Vince Camuto Sleeveless Boat-Neck Lace Dress, $207: There’s nothing quite like icy periwinkle hues to capture the Easter spirit in the air. As you hunt for Easter eggs and catch up with your loved ones, make a statement in a delicate pale blue frock to suit the occasion. We are admiring this Vince Camuto dress with its flirty short hem, boat neckline and lightly flared style.

4) Diane von Furstenberg ‘Bevin’ Ruched Sheath Dress, $487: With its punchy lavender colour, this sleeveless Diane von Furstenberg creation channels the springtime blossoms which will be blooming in the coming weeks. If you’re aiming to emphasize your curves, the elongating V-neckline and ruched detail help to create an hourglass figure.

5) Versace Collection Fitted Midi Dress, $593: If you prefer instant sophistication without the need for candy colours or fragile lace detail, try slipping into a solid mid-length dress in an understated pastel hue. The mint green shade and figure-flattering fit of this Versace Collection dress make it a cool, polished and versatile look to help you burst into spring.
