Subtle was not the name of the game at the 2017 Balenciaga show. Models took to the runways in head-to-toe retro florals in eye-searing pop shades. The energetic print was balanced out with second-skin spandex dresses that went up to the neck and flowed down by the knee. Matching boots sealed the deal.

ASOS Insider Alice brought her holiday wardrobe A-game with this 80s-tastic long-sleeved midi dress. Chaotic fruit-bowl florals perfectly complement the feminine silhouette: think split-hem detailing, long demure sleeves, and flattering ruching. Finish with barely there sandals for a 10/10 look.

The print may look more at home in your nan’s living room, but if you want proof that retro florals on a feminine silhouette just works, then look no further. This Warehouse number balances out the stare-stealing colour palette with a girlie drop-waist hem, high-neck detailing, plus one $$$ keyhole button back.
