Spring and summer are the perfect time to enjoy floral dresses – while getting your morning coffee, at work meetings, afternoon shopping and… when you go to a party and go home in the morning. Below, we present a daytime and an evening look with a floral dress from AllSaints.
Oh, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair / In '77 and '69, revolution was in the air / I was born too late into a world that doesn't care / Oh, I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair… This season, become a flower child like Sandi Thom.
Spring 2021 blossoms… with flowers on the most fashionable dresses. Blossom in them and with them! A cut and color complementing your figure and skin will make you feel feminine, slender, elated and glowing! But that’s not all. Check out our article on other flowery trends this season.
The most trendy dresses this season are long (midi and maxi lengths are still very much in style) similar to those worn at Janis Joplin’s concert at Woodstock ’69 – an AllSaints floral dress definitely wouldn’t look out of place there.
It’s also a very universal garment, because you can wear it almost anywhere: to the office, an evening walk, swinging by a food truck or for a night of dancing. At work, flowers look beautiful not only in a vase – they can also enliven your style. Don’t believe us? Keep reading about the two outfits that you will want get your hands on.
Daytime outfit with an AllSaints floral dress
What’s the best dress to wear to work in spring 2021? First, you should take a few things into account. The dress should be in a subdued color with a bigger pattern. The smaller the design, the less formal the dress. That’s one of the reasons why in 2021 smaller floral prints will work better when you’re shopping or going to the cinema rather than at a business meeting.
If you’re looking for something to wear to the office, we suggest a black dress from AllSaints with a pattern combining floral, animal and oriental motifs. It’s bold but not too flashy due to its dark color palette. The dress is asymmetrical (shorter in the front) and has a slimming V-neck and comfortable elasticated waistband, which can be “covered” with a matching belt.
You can offset and tone down the pattern with a fitted double-breasted blazer from Balmain – it will still be visible, but at a closer look. With a flared, flowing silhouette like that, the length of the blazer is key. If it’s too long or too loose-fitting, it will weigh down the silhouette and make you look several kilograms heavier. If you button up the blazer, the belt is not necessary.

Pair this base with Jimmy Choo’s suede pumps in olive green, which match the dress, and a shoulder bag in coral pink, which works well with one of the colors on the dress. AllSaints also has more relaxed ideas for summer 2021. How about a romantic version of you that comes out after 5p.m.?

The charm of the boho dress – spring/summer 2021 in beige
Become a Woodstock girl! Let your hair down, choose a light pink, sleeveless AllSaints dress and style it in a rustic, nonchalant way with a touch of hippy style.
Wear it with a straw hat. You can also add a little character to the look with a ribbon tied under the chin like a 19th-century schoolgirl. To make it more modern, hide the tie under your hair at the back.
This duo – the perfect dress for spring 2021 and the hat – will go great with comfortable wedge shoes made of suede and grain leather with ankle ties. You will barely feel the height difference, and if you’re not tall, but you like maxi dresses, the shoes will give you a few extra centimeters to help the silhouette look more balanced.

You can complete the outfit with a Tuberosa shoulder bag from Furla with a tuberose flower motif and a Nanushka blazer in a similar color palette (in cool brown) to drape over your shoulders when it gets colder in the evening. This look without the hat and with suede ankle boots or stilettos instead of wedges will also be suitable to wear to work.

The floral dress from AllSaints is a universal and timeless piece. Worn with a blazer (even if the dress is sleeveless), the dress will be perfect for work, and after that you can wear it for a date or to go out with friends without the blazer. Which look do you see yourself in – the sensible and serious businesswoman or the romantic dreamer?
