Kate Moss shows us the coolest way to wear a floral dress this season
During the summer, we pondered if the floral dress had lost its appeal, as this formerly popular item seemed to be neglected by fashion enthusiasts. We realized that although many people are currently favoring mix-and-match outfits, there's still room for this classic feminine style if you can modernize it effectively. Recently, Kate Moss has validated this viewpoint by showcasing a revamped floral dress during her first appearance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Kate's stunning dress embraces two of the standout trends of the season: sheer designs and lace. The soft color combination of red, orange, and cream flowers set against a dark black backdrop is ideal for autumn, while the translucent fabric introduces a sultry, indie-inspired vibe that suits her perfectly. Additionally, the dress features a chic black lace skirt that starts just above the knees. To complete the look, she added a tuxedo jacket with a trendy raw edge, enhancing the modern feel of her ensemble.
It's no surprise that Kate effortlessly embodies this style, as she was the face of it back in the early 2000s. She completed her outfit with satin heeled boots, a black bag featuring a braided handle (which adds a touch of bohemian flair), and silver drop earrings.
If you're a fan of floral dresses and are looking for tips on how to style them in 2024, you might want to emulate Kate's vintage look—brands like Rixo and Doen are great places to start. Alternatively, check out stores with striking, abstract patterns that have been inspired by the latest runway trends. Additionally, dresses with ruffles capture a carefree bohemian spirit and are perfect options for winter weddings.
"Our fashion director, Oonagh Brennan, emphasizes that florals aren’t a matter of being trendy or not. What's important is how you style them and the accessories you pair with them to give a modern twist. Opt for tailored, flattering shapes and striking accessories, like a stylish clutch for evening wear. Currently, I'm drawn to Erdem’s designs, known for their fabulous floral patterns, and I’m loving vintage-inspired floral dresses reminiscent of wallpaper. Right now, I can’t get enough of a rose pink and red color scheme."
Our editor-in-chief, Sarah Tomczak, has been leaning towards designs that are more straightforward and less complicated. However, she still appreciates a delicate floral pattern, perhaps one that isn't too busy or features softer colors.
