Finding the perfect long floral dress

As the weather changes, we enjoy wearing clothes that go with the weather. Should you opt for a flattering A-line dress, a skin-tight dress, or slip into a bold bodycon dress? Do you want to pull off solids and stripes or pick a sophisticated flare or maybe a floral pattern to bring out your confident femininity? Flower patterns are hectic and full of color. Which color is best to pull out? How do you style your hair and pick your shoes or accessories? The advice that follows comes from our in-house stylists and fashion mavens. It gives you insights into how to style and shop for long floral dresses.

Picking A Flattering Print

Floral prints are vast and indefinite. Choosing one that is flattering and complimentary to your body and style is essential. Small flowers or large, spaced apart or close together, with or without vines or clusters of blossoms, and in what colour tones? The choices are infinite!

Consider that larger flowers are more flattering to petite body types. We don't recommend oversized floral patterns for shapely women because these may add a few pounds to your silhouette. Smaller flowers and floral designs give more of a solid colour impression and work on average to more shapely body types.

If your body type is slim to average, explore a balance of larger floral patterns and smaller patterns. When unsure if the design is flattering try to break it up with a belt or trendy scarf. 

Also, consider the host background color of your long floral dress. White backgrounds that display bright and sunny inspired blooms are ideal for concealing problem bulges. Darker ones give you a more tailored and tapered look and the illusion of being slimmer.

Floral Dresses Pair Great With Neutral Colors

Irrespective of whether you pick a big or small floral print dress, what you pair it with is pivotal to your look. Long Floral dresses that have an all-over floral motif that spreads uniformly over the fabric should be toned down and paired with neutral or nude colors. 

Neutral colors such as black, beige, white, nude, and silver compliment floral patterns and are often closet staples. From your shoes to your jewelry to the bag you decide to carry, adding a dollop of neutral shades ensures the floral print is balanced and in harmony with your style.

Pair floral party dresses for women with an accessory that has a bold stripes design such as a bangle bracelet or cuff. Also, consider choosing one or two colors from your floral pattern dress and matching all your accessories to those shades
