From beautiful boho styles to vehement velvet, these floral frocks will boost your mood this season.
Florals aren’t just for spring. In fact, it isn’t groundbreaking to wear them all year round. While the cooler months may lend themselves to darker dresses, throw-on-and-go jeans and collared knits, there’s a lot to be said for adding more colourful pieces to your winter wardrobe.
Joyful jumpers and statement turtlenecks might be leading the dopamine dressing stakes, but florals can bring a fierce edge when paired with boots and a bomber jacket or an oversized blazer and a trusty pair of white trainers.
And it’s not all about colour. A floral print can perk up our daily dress sense, whether it’s more muted in tone or bright and bold. And let’s not forget fabric – chiffon styles create a floaty feminine silhouette and winter makes way for heavier-set materials such as velvet, so there’s a lot to play with.
Bringing a boho, easy-breezy nature to our wardrobes, floral frocks can be wintrified by layering them over tights and turtlenecks or under a wrap cardi and knee-high boots. But while we’re not just yet braving Baltic temperatures, a long-line dress should be enough to keep us comfortable throughout the day, and we’ve curated a few options to choose from.
From moody bloom maxis to pretty pink ditsy dresses, these are 11 of the best winter floral styles to shop this season.
