Romantic Florals Are Back: How to Wear the Trend
Dark florals have moved beyond their usual spring and summer season, becoming a prominent autumn and winter fashion trend. Their richer colours and heavier fabrics make them practical for Sheffield’s wet weather and easier to wear under coats, while still suiting gigs, theatre trips and weddings.
Designers including Dries Van Noten and Khaite featured dark floral looks for autumn/winter 2026, and florals were one of eight major trends at London Fashion Week. The article recommends choosing a midi in crepe, cotton or heavier satin, pairing it with boots and a coat, and avoiding delicate fabrics that cling in rain; it also gives care advice and compares six dresses at different prices.
In short
- Dark florals are being worn beyond spring and summer.
- Midi dresses and heavier fabrics suit cooler, wet weather.
- Boots, layers and simple care help keep the look practical.
