You really can’t go too far wrong with florals. Whether you opt for a ditsy print or jumbo flowers, a petal-powered piece has the magic ability to look fresh and will work for both daytime and evening plans. I promise if you treat yourself to a floral piece now, you’ll look blooming gorgeous in it for seasons to come!
Tamzin Outhwaite’s latest look backs up my flower-themed theory too, as she opted for a gorgeous silky blue number by one of the best British clothing brands for her recent appearance on This Morning. The 54-year-old wowed in the Saoirse Silk Dress by Wyse London, and her colourful dress, complete with delicate scalloped trim, was a winning choice for her time on the iconic sofa.
A classic midi dress is my favourite way to wear florals, and whether you are on the hunt for something new for a late summer wedding or a versatile number to wear for the weekend, recreating her outfit with something similar will make a savvy style choice. The deep navy hue is a winner for right now, but the moodier shade will also look gorgeous in any autumn capsule wardrobe - what's not to love?!
Tamzin’s midnight blue dress has sold out now, sadly, but I have hunted down some similar blue-toned floral buys and rounded up the best of the bunch below. They'll all work really well with your best white trainers while the weather is still warm, then switch to knee boots as soon as autumn really sets in.

The pink version of Tamzin's dress is still in stock, and it's now 30% off in the sale. woman&home's Fashion Ecommerce Editor Caroline Parr recently tried a Wyse London dress for the first time, and she calls their designs "utterly beautiful, worth every penny."
The floaty sleeves and tiered ruffles give this piece a special feel that will work beautifully as a best wedding guest dress.
Add your best white trainers and a cropped jacket to this bright number and you'll have your new weekend uniform sorted.
An empire line dress like this one will fit around the bust and then flare out and skim over hips for a flattering finish.
This ditsy floral tea dress is such a classic and will work for any day or night plans. Add shiny gold jewels for a modern spin.
Lace panels on this one break up the pattern while adding an elegant feel. Try layering under a cardigan and finish with a pair of ankle boots as the weather cools.
Florals make a bit of a statement all on their own, so to keep your piece looking as chic as possible, avoid wearing any other prints in your outfit. Instead, pick out a colour from your petals and opt for accessories in a similar shade, or keep it super simple and complement your design with understated metallics, classic black or autumnal tan finishing touches.
