how to: wear spring florals.

An overwhelmingly perennial trend on the high street and a (usually) affordable way to add vibrance to your wardrobe, you'll never be able to escape these feminine blossoms, and there's no reason to run from them either! Although florals are suitable for sprucing up any outfit in any season, they are typically associated with Spring and Summer, where they are literally in bloom. With a vast range of complementary colors, styles and fabrics, florals remain among the most versatile trends of all time. Be it casual, polished or trendy, here are three ways to incorporate some flowery goodness into your daily outfits!  

1. Pair a cream-colored button down with a cute pair of floral denim shorts for a summery look that's still pulled together. Work some different hues into your look in the form of deep-hued leather holdalls and rich camel flats to amp up the sophistication. Before stepping out the door, complete your look with a dusting of sugary-sweet blush and a pair of tinted aviators. 

2. Some of the most beautiful blouses are those with vibrant floral motifs painted across their wisps of layered fabric, so throw on your favorite one and pair it with a pair of lace shorts to dress it down a little. Cork wedges are a trendy and comfortable option for pairing with florals, and with a coat of mint on your nails and shine on your lips, you're all set!

3. When your cute knitted sweater feels a little geeky, trust a light floral skirt with plenty of twirl-potential to liven things up a bit! Pastel oxfords are a fabulous marriage of femininity and masculinity, and a crossbody satchel keeps things comfy and casual. Brighten up your look with shimmery eyeshadow and bold pink lippie for conservative-cool appeal.
