Florals are having more than a moment. Going strong since integrating prairie dresses and sneakers into our daily regime — we’ve had time to get deep on the subject and put a magnifying glass up to the trend that has us welcoming all the blossoms into our fail-safe wardrobe rotation. On second glance, there’s more to a floral than just a pretty petal. Let’s break down the different species you might spy online when it comes to wearable flora. 

DITSY PRINTS

Zoom in, ditsy florals are teeny and blossoming with colour. Very cottage-esque in tone, this pretty motif can be smattered in sweet pastels and feminine hues or worn with a dark edge in blacks and blues. It’s the delicate nature of this floral that enables it to be so subtle it can become an everyday staple. Peasant blouses, frilly garden dresses and silk slip skirts are welcome additions to your wardrobe in this print. Wear with classic accessories like leather jackets, tan purses, retro frames and buckle-heavy boots to update the pioneer look for now.

FURNISHING FLORALS

With its style roots in the interior decor biophilic trend, the furnishing floral would look just as nice upholstered on a reading chair in a white-washed Mediterranean home as it would on your wrap dress. Typically less colourful with focus on one or two shades set on a pale background. It’s a minimalist’s dream when it comes to floral — the stencil pattern reflects more greenery motifs like leaves and ferns. Suited to Caribbean-style dresses (think: ruffles and puffs) or a camp collared shirt and short set. Tropical in mood, this is a fun party statement. Lush this look up with tan leather details, chunky gold bling and an ankle-wrap heel.

ILLUSTRATIVE STROKES

The illustrative floral circles back to scientific botanical art but can include artistic interpretations of natural flora and fauna. It’s most classic form would be black and white to reflect the sketchbook and the pen. Turn to this floral when you're opting for a monochromatic palette to blend easily with denim and casual separates. Trophy tops with high necklines or romantic detailing play on the traditional print, but to really dial up the modern aspect, double up with matching bottoms in a matching set to be a walking piece of art.
