Make florals your forever print with this line-up of flirty frocks.

Miranda Priestly’s long-held belief may be that florals for spring are far from groundbreaking but luckily for us flower fiends, fashion thinks otherwise.

Perhaps it has something to do with our collective obsession with house plants or maybe it’s merely a way of injecting a healthy dose of fun into our wardrobes after making the most of our sweatshirt and joggers collections, but whatever it is, our appetite for a floral dress is clear. And if the swathes of flower-toned dresses currently available to buy are anything to go by, it would appear that fashion is in agreement. In other words, florals for spring are absolutely and undeniably groundbreaking.  

But banish any fuddy-duddy floral connotations, for there is in fact a floral dress to suit everybody. Whether you opt for a body-skimming botanical mini or a flowing flower-covered frock, there’s not a plant print that can’t scratch your itch. 

But fear not dear beer garden regulars, for there are ways to make a garden-inspired get-up work for you, even in the windy haven that is the backyard of a drinking hole. Pair yours with chunky sandals for a sun-kissed spring stroll while the sun still has her hat on (you’ll need to be quick), or throw on with trainers for a foolproof park-to-pub ensemble. Let the dresses’ punchy prints do the work for you. It really is that simple.

Here are our 19 favourite spring-ready floral dresses ready to be showered with compliments…
