Celebrate! The Yomtov outfit is back

Tiers, splits, asymmetry, frills and ruffles continue as key details on dresses and skirts. Midi and maxi remain the key lengths, with the mini offering an alternative aesthetic.

In dresses, there are still plenty of statement sleeves while neckline shapes include the directional square neck, as well as shirt-style, Vs and simple round-necks.

In skirts, the more streamlined silhouettes of mid-calf A-line or pencil shapes and sarong-type skirts in all lengths offer an alternative to the hippy vibe of frills and tiers.

Myriad pastels and paint-box brights are on offer, though pink, green and blue are vying to be named the season’s hottest hue. Key neutrals include beige, navy and cream. There is also pattern of every kind, from sweet florals and bold blooms to animal print, abstract, paisley and ikat as well as spots, stripes and checks.

Polished accessories elevate the relaxed vibe of the denim dress — a key piece for spring — making it perfect for synagogue or Seder. Alongside the designer versions by, among others, Alexander McQueen, Valentino and Chloe, many high street brands have desirable denim dresses including Monsoon, M&S and And/Or at John Lewis.
