No matter the weather, these floral dresses with long sleeves will work hard in your wardrobe.
As daffodils and snowdrops pop up to remind us that spring is here, we can’t help but feel inspired. If your dresses have been collecting dust over the last few months as you cling firmly to your loungewear, you’re not the only one. But as we move through spring and towards summer, new trends are appearing, and you can already wear some of them. When it comes to dresses, it’s clear prints are the style du jour: from graphic patterns and polka-dots to stripes and, of course, florals.
Floral prints make an annual return as the weather warms, and this year is no different. While gingham checks, shirred stitching and bubble hems lead the way for details, when it comes to sleeves, it’s all about long styles. The best thing about these long-sleeve floral print dresses is that they’re suitable to wear across all seasons – a true transitional hero piece.
So, to get you started on your spring/summer wardrobe, keep scrolling to see our edit of the best long-sleeved dresses to shop this season. From tiered smocks to blooming sleeve mini dresses, these styles will fix all your in-between weather woes.
