I Have a Soft Spot for Floral Dresses—Here Are My 40 Favorites for Summer
I have a weakness for floral dresses. I can't be sure exactly how many are hanging in my closet right now, but the resemblance to Keukenhof is uncanny! There's something so uplifting and joyous about a floral frock—whether it's a ditsy print or bold blooms, they win my heart every time. While floral dresses are perfect for wearing year-round, there's no better time to embrace their lighthearted whimsy than the warm summer months.
Unsurprisingly, there are already a plethora of beautiful blooms in my shopping cart right now that I plan on snapping up ASAP. From trending open-back silhouettes to billowy maxi dresses to puff-sleeve minis, below I'm rounding up some of my favorites for every occasion this warm-weather season. Included in the mix are some of my go-to brands I turn to time and time again to get my floral fix. Enjoy one of these charming stunners below this summer.
