While we love seeing all the new and exciting trends that pop up each season, when we're investing in certain pieces, it's nice to know that we can keep them in our closets all year round. Jennifer Aniston's floral maxi dress is one of those staples you can keep wearing, whatever the weather.

With a chic black background and bright floral pattern, Jen's dress is the perfect piece to wear no matter the season, with the darker take on the spring and summer-ready pattern making it the perfect piece for cooler weather too.

woman&home's Fashion Ecommerce Editor Caroline Parr tells me the good news is you don't have to fork out a fortune on expensive-looking florals: "Jen's Proenza Schouler dress and Aquazzura heels is head-to-toe designer, but there are plenty of more affordable options on the virtual high street with that same blooming beautiful feel!"

Turning the much-loved floral summer print into one perfect for the transitional months of both spring and fall, Jennifer stepped out in a floral maxi dress whose dark black background made the pink floral pattern pop.

The print encapsulates everything we love about our fun and vibrant spring and summer wardrobes while also incorporating the deeper tones we lean towards when we want something a little more understated and subtle - it's just stunning!

The shape is a flattering and versatile one, with the high neck and tie-waist belt embracing Jen's figure and creating a silhouette that works for casual events as well as formal ones. Showing us exactly how to dress it up, she opted for a pair of strappy nude heels to finish the outfit, but some stylish white sneakers or a pair of knee-high boots would also look great and add a more casual feel to the look.

The sophisticated sleeveless style and sultry side-split make this a dress that can undoubtedly shine on its own, but for cooler evenings, the outfit calls for a jacket or chic cardigan to add a little breeze-battling warmth.

We'd layer a leather jacket, trench coat or knitted button-up sweater over the dress if we wanted to keep more cozy, and would keep to Jen's color palette by opting for a black-toned style.
