Like us here at woman&home, This Morning’s resident fashion expert Jo Good, couldn’t be more excited for spring and the fashion opportunities it offers. “I love this time of year for fashion,” she said as she presented a segment on the show about the best spring dresses on the high street, adding that they’re all so easy to just ‘throw on’ and need very little styling to look polished and elegant.
Jo herself wore RIXO’s Arlena silk-satin dressfor the occasion, with a colourful floral print across its empire bust, long sleeves and floaty maxi skirt; it embodied the season effortlessly. The black base toned down the brighter floral print, adding elegance, ensuring it could be worn as a date night outfit, or for an event, or on holiday with a simple pair of sandals and a tote bag.
This was a running theme of Jo’s segment on This Morning, with all of her top choices being versatile spring buys that you could rework for your mood and diary. You can find Jo’s exact dress, as well as some of her top picks for spring dressing from the high street, below.
Made from a blend of silk and satin for a style that catches the light, this ankle-length dress features a beautiful mix of floral prints that are tied together by a striking colour palette of black, yellow, green, red, pink and blue. For all that colour, the style is still so elegant and is easily dressed up or down.

With a sweetheart neckline and short puff sleeves, this denim dress is a soft and elegant dress to wear over spring. Jo added in some contrast by styling the dress with a burgundy handbag, which looked stunning against the blue denim.
Jo describes this dress as 'full on summer,' with its colours being bright and bold. "I just love this," she said on This Morning, as she praised the frilled details on the sleeves, which add an ultra-feminine touch to the style and its playful scallop print.
We're expecting this dress, which has only just dropped on the M&S website, to sell out now that Jo has featured it. A mix of blues, white and brown create a stunning stripe pattern across its fabric, with puffed sleeves adding a sweet detail to the simple shape.

Sleek, minimal and understated, there's no outfit that these kitten heels won't go with. Plus, they feature a cushioned footbed to provide all-day support. As well as this burgundyhue, they're also available in black and a camel-toned faux suede, too.
Using a thin waist belt like this one that Jo paired with one of the dresses on her This Morning segment is a great idea to not only cinch in the waist but also to break up large blocks of busy pattern. It creates a sleek and defined look.
'Fringe is everywhere,' Jo said, explaining why this bag is such a must-have accessory for spring. Especially in the striking burgundy shade, it's an ideal piece to bring in pops of colour and texture to any outfit this season.
There are endless options when it comes to spring-ready midi dresses, whether you’re shopping on the high street or from some of the more high-end British clothing brands. Year after year, they’ll more than hold their weight in your clothing collection and, as Jo says, having one or two midi or maxi dresses in your spring capsule wardrobe can make spring dressing a breeze.
They're brilliant because they're a complete outfit you can throw together in one step, and the only finishing touches you really need are a pair of simple sandals, your best white trainers, or the latest spring/summer shoe trends for 2026, for a contemporary twist.
Dressing them up to extend the mileage of your midi dresses is also just as easy as styling them for everyday. If you’re stuck on what to wear to a wedding, are looking for smart casual outfit ideas to carry you through the spring season, or you want to elevate your office wear with a spring-ready flair, a printed dress with some easy-going heels and a statement clutch bag never fails to create a striking, polished outfit.
