Best Floral Dresses For Summer Fun
Don’t tell me that you closet has enough floral. Trust me, that’s not possible. There are so many different florals, not to mention different colors of the same ones. And what better a time to find some more floral dresses, than when flowers are actually blooming?
Here are my top 5 floral dresses for this summer:
Tucker Drawstring Cami Dress: I love the small red and pink floral clusters. This light silk scoop neck dress is simple, carefree and cute; not to mention that having on seam-pockets is great. Buy this on sale for $170.80 at Shopbop.
Alice + Olivia Fierra Dress: The best part of this dress is the floral, it’s not specifically patterned like most floral dresses are, making it a unique find for your closet. Also, the inverted front pleat and v-neck cut make the dress super flattering. You can get this on Shopbop for $220.
Blu Moon Summer Lovin’ Dress: This dress is made exclusively for Revolve Clothing. The ditsy floral is sweet, while the navy sets this frock apart from other dresses. I’d buy this at Revolve Clothing for only $187.
Stones Devin Dress: This dress comes in both floral and lace, but this post is about my top 5 floral dresses. The appropriate neckline and length is reminiscent of the 1950’s while the bold floral pattern makes it perfectly trendy nowadays. Personally, I’d match it with a pair of awesome wedges. This is a great price, at only $149, buy it at Revolve Clothing.
Joie Alanna Dress: This turquoise dress is the perfect cover-up. The floral is somewhat geometric, but definitely eye catching for the pool or beach. Grab this for $288 on Revolve Clothing.

For those of you who want to wear this pretty color for work or for a night out and would rather pair the look with a pair of leather pants and open toe ankle boots, there are two great choices that will work for day into night.

Embrace Your Sweet & Sexy Sides This Spring With a Floral Bodycon Dress
Bodycon dresses may be most effortlessly worn by the slim and slender, but as long as you’re brave enough to show off your every curve, the latest floral takes on the skintight style are doing a fabulous job at sweetening up the otherwise ultra-sexy look. Whether sleeveless, short-sleeved, or long-sleeved, these flowery frocks put a fresh, lively spin on the figure-flaunting silhouette, allowing you to show off all the hours you’ve put in at the gym without needing to hit the beach! What’s great about these dresses is that although they ooze sex appeal, they can still easily be dressed up or down for day or night, depending on the occasion; easily toned down by layering with a modest cardigan or vamped up with a killer pair of platform pumps. They’re the perfect way to toe the line between sweet and sassy this spring!
