How to wear a floral summer dress Image by: instagram.com/whowhatwear
The ultimate summer throw-on-and-go piece gets a bit of help from simple styling.
Summer sundresses just seem to beg to be covered in florals. Pretty much everyone we know—minimalists and maximalists, girly-girls and more masculine dressers—has a flowery dress that they go to on hot summer days.
Here are some of our ways to wear a summer sundress in a floral print that we've seen this year.
For a trendy take on summer florals, try a dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline.

Yes, you can wear a muu muu in public—just remember to keep the pattern bright, your hair and makeup chic and add some great accessories.

A bright dress in an abstract floral print is best paired with neutral shoes—we love a good espadrille wedge.

Floral embroidery is this season's biggest floral moment. We love this romantic option with its sheer overlay.

There's something so summery about the combination of white, green and yellow. Just add hoops for a vacation vibe no matter where you are.

Keep it monochrome by picking a pattern with only one or two colours. A pop of colour in the form of a bouquet is optional.

For the evening, a denim topper is a must—but we love the addition of nude accessories and undone hair to keep it casual.

Not feeling a dress? Wear a button-down floral dress over a simple tank and fitted jeans. It's a new spin on your wardrobe favourite.
