After three long months of rugging up and getting caught in the rain, we’re finally ready to prepare for the sweetest season. So, pack away your warmest coats and break out all your favourite floral dresses. It’s time for a lesson in how to mix and match some gorgeous dresses and flirty accessories to create the perfect spring fashion look. Whether you’re headed to the office or out to lunch, we’ve got a floral dress combo for you!
1. Beautiful in White & Blue
When you’re searching for floral dresses to pad out your spring wardrobe, look for dresses you can easily mix and match with for maximum versatility.
For example, take a look at this beautiful Chaps Sateen Floral Dress (Kohls - $70) in white and blue. The feminine, watercolour flower motif in royal blue contrasts brilliantly with the fresh, white backdrop, making the dress perfect for a lunch date. Because this dress just skims the knee, it’s not only an ideal height for casual catch ups, but it’s also elegant and feminine enough to be appropriate for a spring wedding.
Spring fashion is all about creating a light, airy feel from your daytime outfits, so a timeless pair of high heeled sandals is another must-have item to mix and match with this season. Try the De Blossom Nissa High Heel Sandal (Target - $27.99). This gorgeous shoe combines everything we love about sandals for spring along with a generous heel to give us the illusion longer, slimmer legs. The toe is adorned with rhinestone detailing for a hint of glamour. The shoe comes in three shades - leave black well alone and choose between ivory and silver to keep things fresh and seasonal.
An outfit like this requires equally elegant and understated jewellery, like these Sterling Silver Stackable Bangles (Amazon - $64.99). They’re light enough that they’ll add an infusion of romance (your wrists are a major erogenous zone!) without overwhelming your outfit.
Finish the look with a bold blue nail polish, such as L’Oreal Colour Riche nail lacquer in Jet Set Paris (Target $4.99).

2. Green Goddess
While fresh, light floral dresses are gorgeous for get togethers during the day, it’s evening events that really let edgier spring fashion shine, like this Betsey Johnson Floral A-Line Dress (Macy’s - $266). This stunning emerald green floral dress is strapless and sports a straight neckline to show off your décolletage. The oversized blooms have an almost retro appeal, while the flattering a-line silhouette ensures the design remains chic and modern.
The straight neckline begs for decorating. While you can mix and match with most of the necklaces already in your jewellery collection, a dangling, low hanging necklace will complement this outfit best. These Swarovski Crystal pendant and matching dangle earrings (Amazon - $15.99) are the perfect choice. Why? Teardrop shapes are normally associated with romance, but the striking dark green crystals hint at something more mysterious and alluring, making them suitable for a slightly edgy look.
For shoes, we recommend a pair of classic black Mary Janes from The Journee Collection (Kohl’s - $49.99). This style of shoe teases at innocence, which will create an appealing contrast to your seductive dress. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could also rock dark green shoes with this floral dress.
Complete the look with OPI’s Jade is the New Black nail lacquer (Amazon - $6.55).

3. Corporate Chic
Unfortunately, every beautiful spring day can’t be spent having lunch with friends or attending late night soirees. For those days that you do have to go into the office, we’ve put together some spring fashion that’s as chic as it is corporate. Start with the effortlessly elegant Lauren Ralph Cap Sleeve A-Line Dress (Macy’s - $189.60). The a-line shape is super slimming, while the capped shoulders help to create a bold silhouette. Muted floral dresses like this gorgeous purple number are bang on trend right now.
Dress your feet in a pair of black heels, like the Journee Collection Momentum High Heels (Kohls - $59.99). These office appropriate heels sport a traditional almond shaped toe while their t-strap design offers a modern twist that’ll keep you ahead of the fashion curve.
Next, amp up your corporate vibe with a stylish satchel. The burgundy Olivia + Joy Carnegie Satchel (Macy’s - $97.60) is a great investment that you can mix and match with any business ensemble, from this dress to a blouse and pencil skirt combo. Enjoy a bag that’s as organised as you are!
For a cheeky infusion of colour, paint your nails with Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure polish in Purple Pulse (Target - $7.59). This electric indigo colour is chip resistant, so you won’t ruin your mani on the keyboard.

4. Fabulous in Floral
If you’re a fan of our last work-chic look, you might just love this less sedate version. The Jessica Simpson A-Line Floral Dress (Macy’s - $181.20) sports similar blossoms, but these explode in a triumph of liberating spring colours. The dress boasts a popular, slimming a-line silhouette and a trendy pleated skirt, while the skinny belt works tirelessly to give your waist extra definition.
Play up the breath-taking hint of purple in your dress with a matching pair of Mossimo Paisley Platform Pumps in Indigo (Target - $29.99). The stylish platform heel is great for elongating and showing off your legs after a long winter of hiding them away.
Complement the sweetness of your floral dress with a beautiful sterling silver charm bracelet, like the Sweet Hearts Charm Bracelet (Target - $15.99), which whispers romance in every movement of your wrist.
Tie it all together with a dramatic fuchsia nail polish, like Essie’s Big Spender (Kohl’s - $8.50).

5. Hot Hippy
It would be a crime to finish our article on the best floral dresses for spring fashion without paying homage to flower-power. To create this bohemian-chic look, you’ll need a flowing floral dress. The Free People Floral-Embroidered Dress (Macy’s - $209.50) is our top pick. Inspired by tunic-styles, this airy black and white dress skims the thighs for a minimalistic look that’s just a bit cheeky.
Feel like you’re showing too much skin? Grab back some modesty while making a fashion statement with a pair of Noble Mount Solid Microfibre Premium Tights (Amazon - $11.99). Grey, navy, olive green and dark purple would all complement your dress’s earthy origins. Mix and match depending on your mood.
This floral dress was made to be worn with a cosy pair of booties. Opt for a natural, tan shade to create contrast between your dress and tights. The Sonoma Life+Style Cut Out Booties (Kohl’s - $44.99) are a super cute choice, with their sturdy heel and retro-fashionable triangular cut outs.
No flower-power look could be complete without some floral bling. Check out this eye-catching Lonna & Lily Enamel Flower Necklace (Target - $16) to pull everything together.
