The first official holiday of Spring is almost here. Easter can be a tricky outfit conundrum since there are so many events happening that range from dressy demure (Sunday services) to backyard casual (Egg hunts).
The SLH editors have been combing the spring season sales to come up with 30 perfect pieces to wear by event. Ready to crack this open? Let’s get started…
EASTER SUNDAY SERVICES
For many people, Easter mass is second only to Christmas in terms of attendance. While it varies by community, the general rule of thumb is to dress “church appropriate”. For men, that means no shorts, a nice buttoned up shirt and in some cases a jacket or even a hat. For women, nothing too short or revealing. In both instances, Easter service is also about shedding off the dull winter drab colors and spicing up your wardrobe with lots of spring-inspired color pops.
Lulus, In My Dreams Mauve Floral Plus Midi Dress $69
Sleeveless and services don’t have to be incompatible. With an appropriate neckline you can show off those shoulders with no issue. Case in point, this marvelous mauve midi from Lulus.
Windsor, Sweet Beauty A-Line Midi Dress $39
This puff sleeved perfection is lovely as is, but you could easily take to the next level by adding a belt (we recommend this season’s big trender – wide and woven).
Cato, Plus Floral Flounced Swing Dress $37.99
Sweet soft florals with billowy sleeves make this an easy choice for your Easter services look.
Windsor, Bohemian Oasis Scoop Neck Midi Dress $37.90 and The Perfect Day Cardigan $23.97
Inject a little boho-chic into your services wardrobe. This midi dress is a perfectly appropriate length and we just love the cool teal color. For inside and during services, all you need is an equally appropriate accessory. In this case we found the cutest cropped cardi that will look amazing. Bonus – if your church tends to be on the chilly side (as most are) you’re arms and shoulders will definitely appreciate the added layer.
Ava & Viv, Plus Size Balloon Sleeve Floral $34.99
It’s no secret, bright colors are trending for 2022, and this citrus green midi is right in step.
Elie Tahari, Lasercut Dart Dress $348
Speaking of color pop – this hot pink sheath dress from Elie Tahari has everything going for it. Tailoring is spot on and your eye is instantly drawn to the super cool “embroidery on the hem, which is actually a series of flower-like patterns that have been laser cut.
