There is no way to avoid them. This season they are everywhere you look.
Yes, florals are huge this spring and before you start picturing yourself looking like a psychedelic garden remember: florals are nothing to be afraid of.
But there are rules to follow if you want to come off looking girly and romantic because with florals you’re one fashion mistake away from looking like nana. So while a pretty floral dress and a chunky cardi may be the season’s hot look, remember to keep it young, you don’t want naughty old Nigel from next door chasing after you on his mobility scooter.
When wearing florals, the most important thing to ensure is that the pattern is in proportion to your body. The bigger the pattern, the bigger it will make that part of the body look, and the more attention grabbing it will be. If you are self-conscious about your hips or your breasts, then chose a smaller print.
There are as many different ways to wear florals as there are different patterns and it is all about choosing one that suits your personal style.
Florals lend themselves very easily to the whole preppy and girly look. A floral A-line skirt teamed with a twin-set, a string of pearls and some cute strappy sandals is about as feminine as it gets. Think fifties-glamour and you will be on the right track this season.
With floral fabrics, less is often more. A floral skirt with a simple top or a pretty floral camisole with cuffed jeans and ballet slippers looks great. There are not many people who can pull off head to toe flowers without looking scary! It is much easier to start with a floral piece and then pull out one or two colours from it for the rest of your outfit and accessories.
If the thought of girly-glam makes you want to hurl, don’t feel you need to dismiss florals. You just need to wear them with a different type of attitude. They don’t just have to be pretty. Steer clear of the soft muted shades and find a bright funky floral patterned mini-skirt to wear with your Converse sneakers. Or dress down a floaty floral top with your favourite pair of jeans and jandals.
But what if you still remain floral-phobic and the very thought of swathing yourself in flowers gives you hayfever?
There is no need to reach for the anti-histamine, just ease yourself into the look with accessories. Scarves are a big item for spring, so wear a floral one as a belt, or tie it around your head 70s style. All the stores are selling them in a range of different prints and they are a cheap way to update your look.
The corsage is also set to make another comeback. It is a simple way to add a touch of spring to your outfit and great for updating winter’s blazer.
Whichever way you decide to inject some flowers into your life, you’re guaranteed to feel great because nothing says warmer weather like a colourful floral print.
