15 spring dresses that will convince you to ditch those sweatpants

WATCH: The ‘house dress’ quickly becoming the newest style staple

After months of sweatpants and leggings amid the pandemic, now's a great time to spring forward with some of the season's best dresses.

While many of us aren't ready to go full ballgown (or maybe some of us are), light and airy dresses don't sound like a bad idea right now.

One popular style that's made a resurgence is the "Golden Girls" house dress.

"It's comfortable, easy to throw on and casually chic," said Good Housekeeping Style Director Lori Bergamotto. "It's gotten a bit of a 2021 upgrade."

Celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Emma Roberts and January Jones have posted photos of themselves wearing this very spring-friendly trend.

There has also been a continual rise in the style made popular by Hill House Home: "the nap dress."

The home and apparel brand describes the nap dress as "the perfect hybrid garment to wear all day and night."
