Fall florals are more dramatic and bolder than spring/summer florals. The color patterns and mixtures have deeper and darker hues instead of spring’s bright and cheery colorways. Also, dresses with a more tailored or structured look, in contrast to light and frilly fabrics, are the best for the season.
