Floral Dress Outfit Ideas for All Seasons

Summer Floral Dress

A summer floral dress comes in light colors and may be flowy. You don’t want your summer floral dress to be too long, especially since it will be hot outside. Consider a style like the Jackie Dress from Prabal Gurung, which can be paired with a classic but subtle Manolo Heel. 

Summer floral dresses are acceptable for casual and formal events, depending on the type of dress you’re wearing. Flowy dresses are more appropriate for casual wear, whereas cinched or bodycon dresses are better suited for formal wear. You can also wear a summery floral dress to work, even in a professional business atmosphere.

Floral on Floral

Some people pair floral dresses with patterned accessories like shoes, earrings, and jackets. This look is risky, but you can certainly pull off flower-themed outfits.

Keep your additional floral pieces simple to prevent your entire look from clashing. If you want to wear a floral jacket, you might consider one with just a few embroidered flowers, not one covered with a floral print, if you don’t want it to overpower your look. 

But if you want to make a bolder statement, consider a statement jacket like the multicolor floral Bongo Contrast Long Silk Jacket from Dries Van Noten. This jacket pairs perfectly with denim or a slip dress for a touch of elegance and fierceness. 

All-White Flowery Dress Outfit

An all-white floral dress looks lovely in the spring or summer. Having a white base allows you to play around with colorful accessories, so find a dress with flowers in colors you love so you can utilize those colors in the rest of your outfit. 

If you’re searching for a winning look, consider a floral style like the Mama Twist Satin Dress in off-white paired with a heavy-healed boot. If you’re unsure what accessories to wear with a white dress, try playing with various styles and colors.

Wearing a white floral dress is a consistently winning look for wineries, the beach, and semi-casual events. However, you may wonder if you can wear a white floral dress to a wedding and other formal events. For weddings, in particular, it’s best to steer clear of white, even if your dress is floral. You should also avoid wearing an ivory floral dress, as this color comes too close to potential wedding dress colors. 

Floral Blouse 

A floral blouse is a classy piece that will ensure you stand out at any event. If you’re looking for a piece that feels artistic and magical, consider the Tie Me Up Button Down from Rosie Assoulin. Pair your blouse with neutral-colored heels and coordinating jewelry for a formal look.

Floral-themed blouses are also appropriate for most workplaces and classy events, like weddings. They’re exceptionally tasteful in the spring and summer when it won’t be too cold to go out without a jacket.

Strapless Floral Dress 

Next on our list of floral dress outfit ideas is a strapless floral. If you want to wear a summer floral dress with sneakers, a strapless style like the Luna Jardin Dress from Alix of Bohemia is perfect. You’ll be comfortable and stylish and won’t need much prep work for your outfit. 

Floral Dress with Jean Jacket Outfit

Create a casual look with a floral dress and denim jacket. You can wear almost any color floral dress with a denim style as long as you feel comfortable. Consider the Crystallized Denim Jacket from Alexandre Vauthier. What we love about this jacket are all the small details. But be mindful that you should avoid wearing a blue dress with this look, as it will make you look too monochromatic.

Denim jackets and floral dresses are appropriate for most casual gathering spaces. They’re not recommended for work or formal events, as the denim makes the look far more relaxed than the dress would be on its own.

Floral Maxi Dress Outfit

If you’re wondering how to accessorize a floral maxi dress, we’re here to help. One stunning look is the Pasado Tumultoso Maxi Dress from Johanna Ortiz. Pair this look with an elegant sandal or heel and an oversized floppy hat if it’s sunny outside. A floral maxi dress is typically more casual but can be worn to classy events.

Floral Lace Dress Outfit

Add a touch of elegance to a floral dress by getting one in lace. This look is cute but elegant, perfect for many different affairs. You can pair the dress with a nice jacket to elevate the style or with heels. Consider a black or green lace dress from Proenza Schouler to make a bold statement. 

Wear your floral lace dress outfit to the beach, a casual party, or a luncheon. The beauty of a lacy floral dress is its versatility - there are very few places you can’t wear it. 

Neutral Colored Floral Dress

You can never go wrong with a neutral-colored floral dress. A black, white, or beige dress with flowers in ultra-romantic cue lace is perfect for accessories since these colors won’t clash with whichever fun colors you choose.

You can wear a neutral-colored floral to many different places, depending on the style of the dress. However, as we discussed, you should avoid wearing a white floral dress to a wedding.

Floral Dress with Leather Jacket Outfit

Amp up your floral dress look and give it a more modern feel by incorporating a leather jacket. This contrasting piece will keep you warm and stylish and can be paired with sneakers, flats, or even heels. You can never go wrong with a leather jacket from Alexander McQueen.

The Sawyer Chartreuse Dress from Alix of Bohemia is a great option to create a fun but bold statement. 

You can wear a vibrant floral dress to any occasion or venue, like work or a wedding. 

Silk Floral Dress Outfit
