Floral prints used to pop up in spring, with pastels and bright colors. The overall look was very sweet. Now they have become a year-round choice for clothing and accessories. Do you love floral prints? Hate them? Unsure how to wear them?
Floral Prints – For Print Phobics: If you prefer to wear solids, a great way to dip into prints is with your accessories. Consider adding a floral scarf, belt, necklace, or shoe. It will create some interest to a neutral ensemble, without being too cutesy.
Floral Prints – Choosing the Right Scale: How do you choose the right floral print that will work for you? Start with a scale that mirrors your features. If your features are small, choose a floral print that is small. Or, if you have a mix of small and medium features, look for a mix of scale in the same floral print. You can also consider your personality when choosing floral prints. Someone with a larger than life personality will want to bump up the scale of the print to match their personality. If you are more soft-spoken, choose smaller scaled prints.
Floral Prints – Weekend Wear: Grab your favorite jeans and add a floral print cotton shirt or T-shirt. Going out on a Saturday night? Wear a streamlined ankle pant or skirt in a dressier fabric other than cotton. Add a solid top and your favorite heels, and you’re ready to go.
Floral Prints – Mixing Prints: This is not for everyone, but when done right it looks fabulous! Take a striped tee and add a floral print skirt (see in photo above). Keep in mind the scale of the prints and colors.
Floral Prints – Add Drama to Your Entrance: A floral print coat that is bold or bright, is a great option over casual outfits and dresses.
Still not convinced you can wear floral prints without looking too sweet? Choose a floral in dark colors, with dark backgrounds.
