Spring is already present among us; now it’s time to think about the light and fluid pieces that this season allows us to wear on repeat. Spring is the perfect time to embrace bold and bright patterns, lightweight styles and flirty silhouettes. Floral prints and details are the perfect way to translate the season, and to make the statement that it is, indeed finally spring. They are undeniably one of the most timeless, versatile and indispensable prints in the fashion world and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Flowers can be worn in many ways, whether you're going for a picnic in the park, a casual lunch with friends, or a night out in the town.
A few things we like to keep in mind when it comes to styling florals for spring are to play with mix and matching, to keep it simple, or casual if you don’t have a fancy affair to attend, to opt for prints and patterns that speak to you in bright ways, to dress them up if you are attending a wedding or such, and to accessorise in a plethora of different ways. Whether you prefer bold and bright prints or more subtle and delicate patterns, there are plenty of ways to incorporate florals into your look. So go ahead and embrace your feminine side this summer, and have fun experimenting with different floral patterns and styles.
Dress It Up
If you want to wear florals for a special occasion, opt for a more formal look. A maxi dress in a bold floral print is an excellent option for a summer wedding or a night out. Pair it with heels, a clutch, and some statement jewellery to complete the look.
Mix & Match Patterns
One of the biggest trends this summer is mixing different floral patterns. Don't be afraid to pair a floral blouse with a floral skirt or a floral dress with a floral clutch. The key is to choose florals in different sizes and colours, and to balance the look by wearing solid coloured accessories.
Keep It Simple & Casual
When wearing florals, keeping the rest of your outfit simple is essential. Too many patterns can be overwhelming, so stick to solid coloured pieces for the rest of your outfit. This will help balance your look and ensure that the flowers are the star of the show. For a spotless formal look, a floral pattern lace with similar colour shades is the best choice. A same colour jacket or wrap to go over a dress is also a must have in your wardrobe. For a casual summer look, pair a floral sundress with sandals and a soft jacket. A floral skirt and a simple white t shirt also make for a great casual outfit. This is a great way to incorporate florals into your everyday wardrobe and make a statement without going overboard.
Go For Bright & Bold
Florals come in all colours, so embrace bright and bold shades. If you're feeling daring, try a neon or pastel floral. These shades are perfect for summer and will definitely get you noticed anywhere. If you aren’t so much of a bold colour person, then you can still shine bright by choosing printed or floral embroidered styles that are true to you.
Accessorise
Accessories are a great way to incorporate florals into your wardrobe without going all out. Try a floral headband, a floral scarf, or a floral purse to add a pop of pattern to your outfit. If you are already wearing floral head to toe, choose one colour of the print and pair that with the same colour earrings or headpieces.
