The Perfect Under-$50 Dress to Wear With All Your Boots This Fall
This just in: Florals might actually be groundbreaking this fall. As evidenced by the looks sent down the F/W 19 runways at Prada, Alexander McQueen, and more, dark floral dresses are having a moment. You're probably more used to reaching for the print in the spring, but we're about to prove to you just how cool it can look for fall when styled with your favorite boots.
We also spotted various iterations on the fall dress style all over the street style scene during fashion month, and just like we've done with trends in the past, we created our affordable own spin on it (actually two!). Thanks to our Who What Wear collection, the romantic floral dress trend can be yours for less than $50. Style our midi dress with your ankle boots or wear our mini version with buzzy knee-high boots. Scratch that… All your boots go well with these dresses—further proof below.
Ahead, see how fashion girls style dark floral dresses with their boots on the street style scene, and then shop our affordable versions at Target.
Dark florals on the street:
Style Tip: Floral prints with a dark background are perfectly suited to fall and winter.
Style Tip: Put the dark in dark romance and tough up the look with combat boots.
Style Tip: Dark florals and brown boots = a match made in heaven.
Style Tip: Expect the trend-forward pack to be wearing their florals with platform boots this season.
Style Tip: Brown boots complement the floral's multicolor print so well.
Style Tip: If you go the minidress route, might we suggest a pair of knee-high boots to pair with it?
Style Tip: Don't be afraid to double up on prints. When done right, like it is here, it's a risky style move that really pays off.
Style Tip: Choose a pair of Western boots for a very 2019 take.
Style Tip: Proof that it plays just as well with sneakers as it does with boots.
See our versions in action:
Style Tip: A pair of sleek pumps instantly takes the dress into nighttime.
Style Tip: Keep your accessories neutral to really let the print shine.
"The design felt really '60s mod to me (I immediately thought of Jessica Paré's Mad Men character, Megan Draper), so I paired it with my favorite tall white slouchy boots," notes our beauty editor, Erin.
Style Tip: It looks like she's wearing our dress over black skinny jeans, and I'm so here for that styling idea.
