Not stripes, not polka dots - Annabel Croft's latest Wimbledon dress proves floral prints will always be a winner
Her pretty midi dress offered unparalleled elegance
Tennis royalty, Annabel Croft, has been treating us to a host of the best summer dresses during the first week of Wimbledon, and Thursday, 2nd July, was no exception. She posted her stunning outfit on Instagram, with the caption "found a dress to connect with Wimbledon's famous ivy".
Annabel's gorgeous white dress was decorated in a green floral and leaf print that danced across the A-line midi dress. With a nipped-in waist, straight neckline and the loveliest bow-tied shoulder detail, this standout frock gave a gentle nod to Wimbledon whites, as well as the grassy green hue of the courts.
The standout event-ready design is by Alice+Olivia, and for those looking for the exact match, the chic style is still just about in stock, although if the £1,428 price tag is a little steep, we have rounded up some equally elegant high street options below.
A little white dress is the ideal summer capsule wardrobe buy and this palm print design adds a tropical feel to the elegant style. Cinch in your waist with the belt, or swap it for a wider suede design.
Annabel's designer buy is simply sensational, but if you love a floral print, but want a little more coverage, the short puffed sleeve and delicate tea dress silhouette on this design might be your perfect match.
Giving a very similar look and feel to Annabel's chic design, albeit without the bowed shoulders, this full skirted midi dress has a figure hugging bodice and flared bottom for a truly swishy fit.
Inverting the colour palette, this green dress with white leaf print offers a more relaxed finish. Referencing that lovely tropical feel, but with an airy and laid back silhouette, this dress is an easy style to dress up or down.
Shirt dresses are a Wimbledon classic and echoing a similar palette but in a much bolder print, this short-sleeved design is the ideal partner to sunny weather, and at an unbeatable price.
A squared neckline, tiered skirt and shirred middle make this an uber flattering dress. A great choice when it comes to what to wear in the heat, the floral print is much more spread out than Annabel's creeping plant design, but in the sale, this is a style steal.
If you're still wondering what to wear to Wimbledon, white and green have, unsurprisingly, been hugely popular this season, as these two summery hues go hand-in-hand when it comes to styling, especially during SW19's sportiest month.
Referencing the white hues of the players and the grassy green of the court, this palette is perfect for summer, echoing long, happy days of embracing nature, and Annabel looked happy, comfortable and relaxed in her chosen silhouette. This is one of several beautiful dresses the star has been spotted in over Wimbledon week so far, even sharing her selection process with Instagram fans.
She accented the easy, breezy summer dress with a pair of white wedge espadrilles that were the ideal match for the balmy weather London is getting right now. And alongside glamorous Boodles jewellery, Annabel finished her look with a chic pair of cat-eye Gucci sunnies that ensured she could stay out all day.
