Fabulous Floral Fashion For Outdoor Occasions

Bright, playful, and- most importantly- beautiful, floral prints have always been a wardrobe essential! Not only can they take you through the seasons, from the deep hues of winter evenings to the saturated shades of summer days, but you can wear floral prints for any occasion! 

 

So, since the sun is finally shining, we decided to put together a guide on how to wear floral fashion for any occasion.

The Floral Top


An outdoor occasion doesn’t have to be a huge soiree. From barbecues to brunches, summer is full of casual get-togethers, where dressing to impress can be as simple as shorts and a nice top.

For those who love to stand out, a floral top is an easy way to nail the casual dress code, whilst showcasing your individuality.

The trick is to pick florals that complement your style. If you like a dreamy and feminine mood, look for pretty blues and soft pinks. The print should be delicate and simple- a busy design might ruin the elegant aesthetic.

If boho is your thing, you might prefer a top in richer colours like deep pinks and browns. Boho style tends to combine colours and prints, which creates a beautiful eye-catching contrast. 

Pay attention to detail when picking out your floral top! For the most flattering fit, look for pleated styles and crinkle cotton. Floaty sleeves or cami straps keep tops light and airy, which is essential when you’re spending hours in the sun.

When it comes to bottoms, you want to avoid clashing prints. Capri pants in solid colours are flattering and easy to wear, and their slim fit goes perfectly with floaty floral blouses.


Ditsy Dresses


If there’s a floral style that truly shines during the summer, it has to be the ditsy dress! Reminiscent of retro designs, ditsy prints are small scale flower motifs, scattered randomly over entire fabrics. The result is a pretty and playful design that captures the upbeat energy of the spring.

The ditsy dress is such a versatile style! You can dress them up with some cute heels and statement accessories for a garden party, or keep it casual with some comfy pumps and a denim jacket

Aside from the endless styling options, these summer dresses are usually made with flowy and breathable fabrics, making them perfect for celebrations in the sun.

The Floral Jumpsuit


Dresses might not be your thing, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up! Comfortable, practical, and effortlessly chic, jumpsuits are a great choice for outdoor occasions. 

Made from breathable fabrics and complete with cinched waists, jumpsuits are not only flattering for every figure, but they allow for easy movement, so you’ll feel confident and comfortable all day long.

From delicate daisies to bold tropical blooms, floral jumpsuits naturally stand out. So, you’ll be ready to make a statement from the moment you step into yours. This easy-breezy floral look can be styled for both formal and casual occasions, and it’s the accessories that make all the difference! 

Add a touch of glamour with some dainty heels and a tailored blazer- remember to choose a colour that complements your floral print. For picnics and family outings, tone your jumpsuit down with shoes that are easy to walk in, like loafers or pumps, and complete the outfit with a cotton or denim jacket.


The Floral Maxi Dress


The floral maxi dress is a cornerstone of summer occasionwear! It’s arguably one of the most adaptable styles, suitable for every event from weddings to the races, making it one of our favourite outfits for outdoor occasions.

Picking the right print is crucial when it comes to maxi dresses. For outdoor weddings, soft colours and subtle patterns are key as you’ll want your dress to fit easily within the chosen colour scheme. If you’re attending a summer soiree, or dining al fresco, you can feel free to go bright and bold! For a daytime event, choose mood-boosting colours, like Santorini blue and radiant white.

For an evening event, opt for deeper hues, such as bright pink or dark navy- for true contrast you could even go for black fabric and a multi-coloured print. 

Accessorising a maxi dress for an outdoor occasion depends on the mood you’re going for. Bring a boho vibe with colourful, beaded jewellery and strappy espadrilles, make it elegant with a mini handbag and some wedged sandals, or put a casual twist on your maxi dress with ankle boots and a light layer.

The Floral Suit



The real showstopper of our summer collection is our Fabulous Floral Suit! 

With vivid, watercolour florals set against crisp white fabric, this tailored style will have you standing out effortlessly, wherever you wear it!

Including a blazer, trousers, and a matching waistcoat, this statement look can be worn as a full set- perfect for extravagant parties and sporting events- or you can wear each piece separately for an elevated smart casual style.

You can try pairing the blazer and waistcoat with jeans and a white tee, or wear the trousers with a cami top.

Accessorising is easy with our floral suit. The key is to choose subtle pieces that add elegant accents. 


No matter the dress code, floral fashion brings a fresh and vibrant touch to your outdoor occasionwear. From the nostalgic charm of the ditsy dress to the bold elegance of the floral suit, there’s a floral print for every event!
