OUR FAVOURITE FLORAL MIDI

It’s time to turn heads with this showstopping dress

If, when you picture florals, you conjure up images of whimsical, wishy-washy patterns, twee tablecloths or retro wallpaper, it’s time to cast those preconceptions aside. We’re reinventing florals this season, ditching the pretty-pretty associations and instead championing pattern that is bold, powerful and downright sassy. Take this dress, for example, with its loud and proud print, perfect for seeing in the new season with style. Team with accent-colour courts for a chic work look, or wear over jeans for a between-seasons style update. As well as looking great, this elasticated-waist dress is easy to wear. If that hasn’t swung it, we don’t know what will.
