29 Of The Best Floral Dresses To Slip Into This Summer

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. Sure, floral prints are nothing new, especially at this time when nature’s bounty of beautiful blooms feels right to reflect in our wardrobes, but this year, we’ve seen some of the best floral dresses ever. Florals have taken on more of a modern feel, with unashamedly bold prints, curious colourways and interestingly cut shapes taking centre stage. Scroll to shop the best floral dresses the internet has to offer, from art-inspired investment pieces to 1970s vibes on the high street.
Florals can inject some joy into a Spring/Summer wardrobe after months wrapped up in chunky knits and oversized coats and the floral dress is one of the hardest working in your wardrobe, whether you’re in the market for a wedding guest look or something playful to wear come the weekend.
Starting with the high street, there are plenty of options that belie their humble price tags. & Other Stories has a great 1960s-inspired yellow and blue shift dress – ideal if you’re off on a Mediterranean break this summer. Whilst H&M’s ruffled off-shoulder mini is giving serious ’80s vibes. We love it paired back with flat tie-ankle sandals and a raffia clutch bag. And for something a little more glamorous, Zara’s floral midi dress will give you your very own dolce vita moment. Add oversized sunglasses and a red lip.
If you’re looking to invest, key players from the mid-range brands include Doen, whose pretty vintage-inspired designs stand the test of time, and RIXO, whose subtle florals are a winner for events season, whether you’re off to the races or a city wedding.
Hill House Home’s pretty wisteria print nighty is the perfect piece to take on a London heatwave.
Speaking of hot summers in the city, we love a pretty prairie-style dress and Hill House Home’s pretty wisteria print may veer into the nighty category but it’s the perfect dress to take on a London heatwave. Pair with beaded jewellery and mesh ballet flats.
