Florals… for spring? It’s certainly never going to be a ‘ground-breaking’
trend, but as a seasonless staple they offer endless styling and re-styling
options.
Whether you like yours ditsy and grungy or bold and bright this
seasons more fluid, looser styles have reinvented the classic floral tea dress
with quirky cuts, conversational collars and sweet detailing.
Inspired by Vetements (what hasn’t been this season…) there’s
a whole new energy and cut to the formally cutesy style. Opt for chiffon and silk styles which’ll look
as good worn with sandals in summer, under leather jackets and over opaque woolly
tights in winter.
This dreamy sleeveless style from ‘Queen of Patterns’ Orla
Kiely is my favourite of the season. Cut from Italian silk it makes a gorgeous
addition to any wardrobe, perfect for summer weddings (shop more wedding guest
styles here) it’s just as sweet when worn over a roll-neck in winter – you’re sure
to get the most of your pennies from this one.
