How to Wear: Florals

My favourite print to wear, but it can be tricky - you don't want to end up looking like a walking garden bush. 

So the trick is to stick with one simple piece and team it with neutral or coordinating solids, or if you want to mix it up add a stripe - they are perfect partners. This season especially is full of beautiful florals from the ditsy to the oversized and bold as well as in a wide colour palette. Another modern way to style up a floral is with a statement necklace, there are many gorgeous styles available on the highstreet that feature both small intricate and oversized flowers - Accessorize in particular have some stunning pieces.

I love to wear a floral item - current favourites in my wardrobe are a scuba racer back dress I got two years ago from H&M, featuring a large pink/purple floral on a cream base and my best January sale purchase from this year, a long line soft blazer from ASOS with a soft floral design in a pastel palette on a light blue background. Both are great especially for the summer months - wish I had a wedding this summer, my blazer would be the perfect item for such an occasion. Blazer style jackets are a fantastic way to add a floral to an everyday outfit and can add a smarter edge to your favourite pair of jeans.

Don't forget about this print in autumn/winter, a great addition to a black outfit adding colour through a floral scarf or bold print shirt - go for dark colour bases rather than pastels and you will look chic but seasonal.
