Spring’s Floral Fete

Spring Florals

Florals for Spring isn’t a ground breaking notion.  But they are a tried and true closet staple that we relay on so much when the weather warms up.  They exude a feeling of fresh air and rebirth. They bring us out of the greys and blacks we counted on all winter long, by brighten up our attire and maybe our attitude; and no matter what your style is you should make room for them in your wardrobe.

Either re-imagined, reinvented, deconstructed or simply painted in unconventional colors, you can always count on the iconic pattern to being brought up-to-date. In spring 2014, the floral print acts in reassuring femininity, while teasing the more masculine influence. Spanning between the extremes, floral prints for spring 2014 go from super-subtle, to super-brassy, appearing modern while looking back at the nineties, clashing with other prints but always emerging as one perfectly polished conjunction.

How to wear delicate florals: opt for lightweight fabrics, ladylike silhouettes, and relaxed cuts. The most delicate of floral prints will be perfectly matched by sheer panels, feminine beauty looks, and layering of soft knits as the temperature drops.
