Top 10 Floral Dresses

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Pack a picnic, because this midi dress is begging to be surrounded by sunshine and rosé. With a cinched waistline, ruffle-trimmed cap sleeves, and a flirty keyhole, it’s just the right balance of romantic and playful.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: You can snag this pretty little number in petite, tall, or plus sizes, and there are also three vintage-inspired floral versions of this dress to choose from.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: We love having options, which is why we’re thrilled to see that this long floral wrap sundress comes in 24 unique color and pattern combinations. And it’s both flowy and flattering, which leads us to believe we’ll be wearing it to every event this spring and summer (with different shoes and accessories, of course).

USER REVIEW: “It is a true wrap dress in that you feed one side through the other, therefore you can adjust how tight or loose it is. Modest? Show some cleavage? Up to you!”

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: The quilted floral pattern of this dress paired with its ruffle sleeves and high neckline make us think it should be starring alongside Timothée Chalamet in Little Women. And we mean that in a good way, because if you haven’t heard, Victorian style is having a revival.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Here’s why this dress is worth its $150+ price tag: It’s made of 100% mid-weight cotton, is lined, and has a loose, tiered structure that will be comfortable even during the dog days of summer.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Old Navy has ruled summer fashion ever since we can remember—anyone else have a tradition of wearing their Fourth of July tees every year? Anyways, this floral mini dress is airy and lovely, with adjustable ties for straps and a fit-and-flare style.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: This dress is a part of Old Navy’s Match The Fam line, so if you like the idea of coordinating your ‘fit with your faves, check out the rest of the florals in their Family Outfit category.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: This long floral dress is cute enough to wear on its own, but it’s also the perfect piece to throw a denim jacket or sweater on top of. We’re already dreaming up a look that combines the red poppy version of this dress with some heeled espadrilles.

USER REVIEW: “The fit is so flattering, the straps are adjustable, and it has pockets. It’s unlined and breezy. Perfect for hot, humid summers, and the print hides sweat marks! It can easily be dressed up or down. The solid colors could even be great as a casual bridesmaid dress option.”

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: We already know there’s a subgroup of our readers who are saying, “Sleeves? YES!” We’re with you, because sometimes it’s more comfortable to put a light layer of fabric between your skin and the unforgiving sun. And the fact that they’re adorable balloon sleeves? Even better.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: This knee-length dress is available in two floral prints in addition to a classic brown gingham pattern. And you’ll be happy to learn that it has side pockets as well.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Anthropologie knows how to make maximalism work. If you’re not convinced, see above, because somehow the bright, bold patterns aren’t the most interesting thing about the Somerset Maxi Dress—the structure is. With a deep V-neck, a smocked waistline, and three tiers, there’s nothing understated about it.

USER REVIEW: “This dress is phenomenal! I bought the black color pre-loved from Poshmark… and fell in love with it so much that I’m buying two more colors at full price! It’s beyond comfortable, and the pockets are magnificent. I can’t say enough great things about this dress. Never felt more beautiful.”

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Reformation is another brand that we’d dub dress experts, and here’s what they have to say about the Crimini dress: “​​If you're into looking good with literally zero effort, this dress may be right for you.” And isn’t that all of us?

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The Crimini midi dress is available in five bright floral patterns in addition to a zany, almost-animal-print pattern they’re calling “Blitz.” It has a sexy side slit, adjustable straps, and V-neck line.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Modest, but not afraid to show just a little midriff, the Plaza Maxi Dress is a high contender for “best dress to throw on at the last minute, but make it look like you planned this outfit weeks ago.”

ADDITIONAL DETAILS: The bright, sky-blue floral pattern of this dress is eye-catching and delicate, which provides a great contrast to the bold puff sleeves, tiered skirt, and of course, the cutouts. 

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Being one of the best boho designers around, it only makes sense that Free People and florals go hand-in-hand. Their Feeling Groovy Midi Dress features an intricate, flower-heavy pattern that pairs perfectly with the loose, flowy fit. Just add a belt and a hat for a look inspired by the likes of Stevie Nicks.

USER REVIEW: “This dress is comfortable, effortless, and extremely versatile. The quality is amazing, and it feels like it’ll last a long time. If you’re on the edge of buying this, just do it—you won’t regret it.”
