Looking for floral dresses that work for autumn winter? Then you’ve come to the right place. Despite florals being notoriously summery, you don’t need to pack them away come autumn. In fact, moody florals are one of AW23’s biggest trends; think bold, graphic flowers painted on top of dark colours to really make them pop.

The trend was seen on the AW23 runways Erdem, Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior and many more, proving that florals always work, whatever the weather. As a lover of florals, I have to say I’m relieved, although following trends religiously has never been my attitude. As always, it’s about what works for you. If you love florals, wear them! But if you don’t, that’s okay too.

If you’ve found yourself here, I’m assuming you do. And you’re in luck, as whether you’re looking for a dress to keep you warm on chilly winter nights, an office-ready option or even one to wear to dinner, I’ve got you covered. I’ve compiled a list of my personal favourite floral dresses that are just perfect for autumn winter 2023. Next, check out these incredible Christmas party dresses for 2023 as well as ASOS EDITION’s best dresses.
