Flowers: bright, cheery, and hitting retailers again this year. Florals are here to stay, and there are some specific tips for those of you who aren’t big into pattern but are willing to change things up this spring/summer.
Tips: Here’s the thing about floral print, not all prints will be right for you. If you’re bottom-heavy, try to avoid floral denim unless it’s in dark tones. If you’re top-heavy, you should avoid bold printed floral blouses. The 70s inspired floral pattern is the ‘It” floral this year. A few of years ago it was all about the ditzy floral print, but these days, the bolder, the brighter, the better. Always remember to keep it simple ladies, a bold floral means simple accessories and not too much pattern mixing, soft stripes and small polka dots will work, in small doses!
Have fun with the bright colours this year, and check out the listed retailers for a beautiful arrangement of floral patterned pieces. Green thumb not required, but your eye for style is!
