<-h2->Floral shirt dresses worn open or belted<-h2-> Prints belong in a considered wardrobe. Floral shirt dresses prove the point, bringing a pattern and a proper collar to the same piece, and this edit runs from ditsy cotton versions through to bolder blooms in satin and jersey. Midi lengths dominate, with oversized cuts and belted styles alongside them. Wear a ditsy floral shirt dress buttoned and belted with flat leather sandals, a tan crossbody and small gold hoops for a long lunch outdoors. On a summer evening, undo the top buttons, add a fine chain, a heeled sandal and a clutch. Left open over straight jeans and a plain vest, the same dress becomes a layer rather than an outfit, which is the argument for buying one in the first place. Come autumn, a knit underneath and a boot below keeps the print in rotation. Ditsy or bold, cotton or satin, belted or oversized, floral shirt dresses for holidays, weekends and everything booked between.
