Floral dresses come in so many bright colors and fun patterns, making them the perfect spring and summer wear. Whether you and the girls are hanging out at the beach or spending the afternoon with family, floral dresses are the perfect outfit. Because these dresses are statement wardrobe pieces, accessorizing should be done minimally. Otherwise, there will be too much going on in the look. Need help with accessorizing? Here are the accessories that you can wear with your outfit this spring and summer.

Hat

One way to shield your eyes from the brightness of the sun without sacrificing style is by wearing a gorgeous hat. This spring and summer, go with wide-brim hats. Fedoras look gorgeous too, especially if you're wearing a jacket or a blazer. If you are off to the beach, then light straw hats are the way to go. An alternative for this accessory is flower crowns, which are perfect when you are attending music or art festivals this season.

Outerwear

The spring weather is unpredictable. If it's a bit chilly, wear a leather or denim jacket over your dress. But if it's almost the summer and you need some skin protection, you can wear a stylish cardigan over your dress. For office wear, you can go with a blazer or a light trench coat. Whatever you choose, it's best to go with solid-colored ones.

Sunglasses

Don't forget to protect your eyes from the sun with a pair of sunglasses! Go with thin frames in silver or gold colors and those pairs with mirrored lenses. Choose colors that match the color of your dress as well. The ideal colors of lenses this season are the pastel ones -- turquoise, yellow, blue, and pink.

Fashion jewelry

Add a bit more sparkle to an already gorgeous outfit with fashion jewelry. The key here is to wear minimalist pieces. Adorn your digits with dainty minimalist fashion rings and pair them with a vibrantly-colored pair of tassel earrings. Or you can wear stud earrings and pair it with layered necklaces. Don't be afraid to mix and match but keep it at a minimal!

Shoes and bag

For these two, go for the neutrals and pastel colors. Although pattern mixing is fine too. Mixing florals with polka dots or even stripes is acceptable. There are a lot of choices for your footwear, and it depends on where you are going, If you're attending a casual brunch with the family, ballet flats and sandals are fine. But if you are having a night out with your girlfriends, you can go with strappy heels or wedges. As for your handbag, pick the same color or pattern as your shoes.
