The Rise of Florals for Fall
And how to style them for you!
We all know from Miranda Priestly that florals for spring aren’t groundbreaking. But florals in the fall? Now that’s news! While fall florals haven’t been as popular as in the past, this season we’ve been seeing romantic dresses with floral appliques and beautiful floral patterns in the fall runway shows of many designers–signifying this trend isn’t going anywhere.
Fall-hued florals often take root in darker colors, with the flowers being more romantic, moody, and dark than the ones we see during the spring. The fall florals add a level of moodiness and excitement to your outfits, but also a level of transitional wear as certain floral trends overlap.
If you’re curious about different ways to style these trends for day-to-day wear, check out our favorite suggestions below.
Floral patterns
If you’re clutching your spring and summer clothes with beautiful patterns and just can’t bear to get rid of the cheerful way the flowers lighten up your outfit, it seems some designers feel the same. From Nardos to Zimmerman, floral patterns have been transitioned from the summer season into the fall with many of the fall designs focusing on darker colors, jewel tones, and more neutral bases for fall 2024.
Floral details + Applicques
Flowers don’t have to just reside in the pattern anymore, at Richard Quinn and Giambattista Valli, 3D floral details became the design cue of choice. Valli played heavily with enlarged appliques around the neckline and along the bodice of the dresses. If you’re interested in testing this lookout, do this yourself by purchasing items with floral details or getting a few flower brooches off of Etsy!
For Quinn, the focus was on lace and embroidery that featured flowers in the fabrics, this is something easier to purchase than replicate but if you’re in a bind simply adding a few live flowers to your dress couldn’t hurt and would be reminiscent of the black and pink gown that walked down Richard Quinn’s runway for fall 2024.
Being the flower
If all else fails–incorporate flowers by being the flower! Up-and-coming designer Cheney Chan made the case for fall florals by creating elevated dresses in the shape of different flowers from roses to lilies. The couture collection might be a bit much for every day…but perhaps there’s a Halloween costume in this idea?
