Blooming Lovely – Fashionable Floral Dresses for Summer 2014

To paraphrase Miranda Priestly; Florals for summer? Groundbreaking, we know.  It must be acknowledged, though, that classic trends are named as such because they remain fashion favourites year on year. As the sun splits the rocks, we highly advocate getting out of your colour comfort zone and embracing the rainbow. One surefire way to do that while still looking classy and elegant is to opt for a floral dress. The simple beauty of a floral print was perfectly executed on the BET red carpet earlier this week, when Scandal star and new mother Kerry Washington stole fashion headlines from every one of the over-the-top turnouts. This is how it's done. To help you steal her style, we've collected 17 of the best offerings currently on the high street. Whether you favour maxis or minis, strapless or sleeved, you'll find something in here to suit every style and every budget. There's even one playsuit in there too. And if you really want to steal Kerry's style, we suggest finishing off your look with these pointed courts, new from Schuh at €74. Happy shopping! Main image: Ted Baker
