Shoulders are fashion’s favourite erogenous zone this season. The bright colour, cold shoulder detailing and floaty shape of this striking red number makes it seriously sultry and also super flattering on any size and any shape. Wear with confidence and a killer smile. Maxi dress, $97, ASOS
If you’re self-conscious about your arms, but love your legs, opt for a ¾ sleeve dress. This dusty pink style is our pick.

Spring can be a nightmare for anyone who doesn’t rate their legs. But that’s where this season’s stylish maxi dresses come in. This gorgeous lace style could easily pass for designer even though it’s actually $100! Lace dress, $99.99, H&M
Nautical is a huge trend this season, but you don’t have to stick to navy and white. This cream and rusty rose striped dress is perfect for spring.

Off-the-shoulder dresses are still a go-to this spring.

Wear with sandals or wedges and a bold lip. Off shoulder dress, $199, Country Road
