Let’s talk spring and summer dresses. What’s in? What’s out? While the past few years we’ve been all about puff sleeves — and we still are — another trend has been emerging that says “so long” to sleeves in general. We’re not talking about tank dresses though. We’re talking about dresses with string-like straps!

To nail this trend, you need spaghetti strap thickness at max. Go for a more classic skinny strap style or step deeper into the trend with straps that can be knotted and tied at will for a cute a accent. Hey, that means you can adjust your fit too! Want to see some examples of our current faves? Shop our picks below from Amazon and beyond!
