FAQ

How do you know which floral dress is right for you? 

If you lean towards a girlish aesthetic, you’ll love the romantic flowers and sweet colors of a more traditional floral dress. This means roses and daisies in light pinks, yellows, and blues, usually on a white or pastel background. These floral prints are very youthful, especially in a leg-revealing mini dress. Add ruffles and trims for your ultimate, over-the-top feminine look.

When packing for a summer vacation, reach for a wrap dress in a tropical floral print. This includes flowers like the hibiscus, often accompanied by green monstera leaves, in vibrant colors like bright yellow, pink, orange, purple and red. Don’t be afraid of these rich colors! A tropical print floral dress will definitely shift your mindset into vacation mode.

Let’s not forget the boho-chic floral dress! These make it look like you’re wearing a peaceful meadow, complete with textured crochet trimmings or bright wildflower colors.

There are also floral dresses out there for you if you aren’t into bright or pastel colors. A high-contrast black and white floral print is unexpected and makes a bold statement, while remaining feminine. Small floral prints on dark backgrounds are also a great way to channel springtime in a sophisticated manner.
