Floral Prints

Choose floral print clothing around a colour you already wear. Start with the background of the design, then pick out a smaller shade in a petal or leaf for your trousers, shoes or jacket. A floral blouse gives you a separate to combine with plain pieces; a printed dress lets the pattern carry more of the outfit. Look at the size and placement of the flowers on the actual garment, and give the neckline, sleeve and hem the same attention as the print.

Browse floral tops, blouses, skirts, pants and dresses from FOIL, Loobie’s Story, Monari, Dress Addict and Mela Purdie. Compare fine repeats, larger flowers and more abstract floral designs, using the individual fabric and fit details to narrow your choice. For a separate, picture it with two pairs of trousers or a skirt you already own. For a dress, check the shoes and plain layer you would wear with it. Read the size guide, lining information and care instructions for each piece before choosing.
