Digging on This Botanical Trend? Here’s How To Do Garden Party Style In 2022

Propagate a palette of soft garden hues scaling from a mix of green shades starting at dark forest and ending with a light mossy tone. Be inspired by loamy soil neutrals in cream, tan and sand with a floral pop of lavender or muted sky blues. Keeping to the soft side of the colour spectrum will maintain synchronicity when crossing a few different shades. 

Unlike the curtain floral we have been loving, illustrative florals are a less pretty style when it comes to design. A more understated declaration of dark botanical strokes set on a light fabric in ode to the traditional tools of paint and canvas. Precise and almost scientific in mood, adding this kind of bloom into your look makes for a striking effect while still having an air of refinement about it. 

Once the star of House and Country, the new naughty side of gingham is revamping our modern expectations of this classic pattern. Less cookie-cutter brights, more masculine brooding tones. Garden hats, collared shirts and linen textures update the weave into a more sultry vibe.

Leather is always a friend in the garden. From belts to boots and botany tools, it’s hardy nature makes this material perfect for the outdoorsy type while still elevating an outfit. To update this perennial favourite choose quirky details like quilting and woven textures or mixing other cottage essentials like canvas and wicker with it’s rough texture. 

Lady Di on honeymoon in Balmoral would be the best representative of the cottagecore craze. Less frilly white dresses, more corduroy pants with wellingtons. A chunky sole is a must to finish off any botanical vibe. From the Chelsea boot to a knee-high rubber rain shoe — even in your most proper garden dress, a tractor sole will ground the look and add a little edge (never mind the benefits on a stormy day).
