Florals are a trend that has persisted throughout past seasons, and while you may be seeing it on your timeline now, it has a certain longevity. This time around, designers are experimenting with how far they can push the limits of this trend without fully entering the realm of camp. Playing with size, 3D aspects, and embracing maximalism, florals are now being presented in a whole new way on and off the runway.

"There is something delicate, feminine, and wearable about floral prints that keeps them a mainstay year after year." - Libby Page (NET-A-PORTER Market Director)

Incorporating bold floral patterns into your everyday wardrobe can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. There are simple and chic ways to embrace this trend without looking like a walking flower garden.

A good starting point is to include a pop of floral in your accessories. A floral choker, earrings, purse, brooch, nail art, or shoes can elevate an otherwise dull outfit and imbue it with a sense of natural vitality.

To go the extra mile, florals can be the centerpiece of the garment itself by incorporating 3D elements, varying sizes, and textures.

Whether you want to tone it down or go full force on the maximalist floral look, incorporating a touch of nature can never go wrong in any uninspired outfit.
