How Do We Feel About Florals?!

I go back and forth on this one - sometimes I love it, sometimes I feel like wallpaper from the 90's. It could really go either way depending on my mood. When done well, however, I am generally on board with this trend. That's the key though - make sure YOU are feeling it. Otherwise, it will fall short....

How can you tailor floral prints to fit your individual style?

• Less Is More. Don't over think it, and definitely don't over do it. Be selective in your print choices and be sure to style them in ways that won't overpower the look in its entirety. Let the floral piece draw the eye in, not what's going on around it.

• Choose Flattering Pieces. From the material itself to the style and cut, make sure you are choosing pieces that work best to compliment your own taste and body type. If you pick a stiff, boxy dress, you will look stiff and boxy too! YOU wear the print, don't let IT wear you.

• Subtle Accents. Whether the floral is the centerpiece or the accent itself, your accessories should not detract how you are styling the print. Accessories best suited for floral prints can vary depending on how the print is being portrayed, but you should always start with the floral piece and coordinate the overall look around it.

• Pair Floral Prints With Like-Minded Colors. This will really make the print pop. Floral pieces more than often contain a variety of colors, the trick is to hone in on one or two and style the look with accent pieces of the same tones in order to really pull those colors out of the scheme. 

• Own It. This trend only works when worn with confidence!
