Everything is in bloom—including the latest styles from top designers.

Florals are not exactly reinventing the wheel, yet somehow opening your closet and reaching for a floral print just screams spring. It’s more of a ritual and statement of hope and expectation. Flower designs range from the dainty and delicate to the big and bold, each displaying its own personality and character. Express your connection to the natural world with floral prints. They’ve always been present in fashion, but every year the catwalks show us new interpretations of this decorative motif.

 

Tips For Wearing Floral Prints

*Use a larger floral print where you want to make things appear larger.

*Use a smaller floral print where you want to make things smaller.

*If you’re wearing eye-popping prints, keep your accessories neutral and let the print do the talking.

*Keep it unpredictable. For example, a denim jacket thrown over a floral print creates a modern edge.

*Match the occasion. Subtle, small and more uniform floral prints are the ideal accompaniment to a formal outfit, while bold, bright, and oversized florals are better suited to casual wear and lighthearted outings.

 

Whether you’re headed to Fiesta, a casual brunch, a formal event, or a romantic getaway, there’s a floral for every occasion. They’ve been a fashion favorite for centuries and remain relevant season after season.

Let’s face it. Bright, floral patterns evoke joy and positivity, making them the perfect choice for spring!
