Jennifer Aniston proves florals should be part of an autumn wardrobe with a stunning high-neck maxi dress
Florals aren't only for spring and Jennifer Aniston has given a masterclass in styling the pattern for cooler weather

Jennifer Aniston's floral high-neck maxi dress is the perfect piece to wear in Autumn, with the darker take on the spring-ready pattern making it the perfect piece for cooler weather.
Building an autumn capsule wardrobe, we're understandably drawn to snug and stylish boots that we can pair with cosy jumpers and comfortable jeans - anything that can keep us warm as we head into the cooler months.
But just because we often choose practicality over style in cold weather, that doesn't mean we have to ditch everything we love about our fun and vibrant spring and summer wardrobes - and Jennifer Aniston has proved just that with her stunning floral maxi dress.

The high neck and tie-waist belt created a super flattering silhouette that works for both casual and formal events, with the deeper-toned take on floral prints making it the perfect choice for autumn celebrations.
While Jennifer opted for a pair of strappy nude heels to finish the outfit, for the cooler months, pairing the dress with some stylish white trainers or, for even more warmth, a pair of knee-high boots, would look great while also keeping you warm.
We love Jennifer's dress, with it's sophisticated sleeveless style and sultry side-split, and would love to let the design shine on it's own, but to make it more autumn-friendly, the outfit undoubtedly calls for a jacket in the cooler months.

Leaning into the darker tones in the dress, we'd layer a leather jacket or black trench coat over the outfit to keep the florals firmly in a more autumn-friendly colour pallet. You could even add a winter hat or stylish scarf for those shockingly cold days, picking out tones in the floral pattern to highlight through your accessories.
