If You’re Going to Keep Wearing Floral Dresses In Winter, This Jacket and These Boots Are Absolutely Crucial

November 5, 2025 / Swedan Margen /

Leave it to Alexa Chung to not only find a way to make maxi floral dresses feel relevant in 2025 but also to bring the spring silhouette into winter in the chicest way possible. Recently, the beloved British It girl posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a floor-length dress covered in micro florals, which she strategically paired with a distressed-brown shearling jacket from Khaite and heeled knee-high boots. She finished off the look with a tiny Louis Vuitton handbag.

“Probably on my way to get a pumpkin spiced something and avocado toast before tucking in my shirt and attempting to girl boss,” she captioned the photo, which was aptly taken at golden hour in what appears to be New York City.

As she referenced in that caption, Chung’s outfit is very mid-2010s coded, but somehow, she made it also feel right at home in 2025. Perhaps that has something to do with Saint Laurent’s F/W 25 collection featuring similarly boho-inspired floral maxi dresses and leather jackets, or just the fashion world’s increased interest in bohemian silhouettes and trends. Even so, we haven’t seen someone wear this combo out and about in years. Now that it has Chung’s stamp of approval, though, that won’t be the case for long.

So, if you’re ready to bring back your floral dresses but missed the opportunity in their traditional seasons (spring and summer), you’re in luck. Take them right into winter with you à la Alexa Chung by tossing a shearling jacket on top and trading in sandals for knee-high boots. Trust me, this winter floral dress outfit is going to be *everywhere.*
