Stuck on how to style florals for 2023? This PrettyLittleThing post will have your outfit dilemmas sorted in seconds.

From florals for wedding guest dressing to floral print you’ll want to style all season long, this is a guide to all things floral!

 

Let’s start with what floral actually means.

Does floral mean flowers?

Essentially yes, in terms of floral clothing anything that has a flower pattern will class as floral print.

This could vary from a bold and bright floral jumpsuit to a ditsy floral dress.

The options are endless when it comes to floral or flower print meaning there will be a look you’ll love.

 

What is ditsy floral print?

A ditsy floral print is a more subtle compared to a full floral look.

Here are are top three floral tea dress picks to show how to style the trend.

Unsure on what constitutes a tea dress?

Think short sleeves with a full skirt, they can be mini, midi or maxi in length making them perfect for the warmer season!

Not only dreamy but a must-have on your summer dress wish list.
