How to wear the floral tea dress like Kate Middleton

Oct 23, 2017 04:15 PM IST

Tea dresses are back in fashion, just in time for fall. The floral tea dress is known for being a demure-yet-laidback wardrobe staple and is favoured by the likes of Kate Middleton, Selena Gomez and Alexa Chung.

As the ideal ‘transitional’ piece for wearing between seasons, a floral tea dress has long been championed as a demure-yet-laidback wardrobe staple by the likes of Kate Middleton, who often sports the look for more casual royal engagements, teaming her dresses with a heeled court shoe. But recently, the tea dress has been given a high fashion makeover, and fashion stars including Selena Gomez, Alexa Chung and Emily Ratajkowski have all been spotted over the past few weeks teaming them with sneakers or chunky boots. Here are five ways to get the look this fall:
