Floral Prints Are Not Just For Spring

 

We have been following this trend of winter floral prints, and are loving it! The bold colors and prints add sunshine to any cold winter’s day. Bright colors and floral prints bring change to drab  winter colors. We are seeing this pattern pop up on sweaters, knits, scarves, and hats. These floral prints are great for layering under blazers, and winter wear and can add the right balance of color to any outfit you dare to wear this winter. This season, citrus colors are hot, juicy oranges, reds, zesty lemons, luscious lime shades and punches of purples. We are also seeing the mixing of patterns and colors with floral prints so for our adventurous fashion followers you can mix a stipe or polka dot tank underneath your floral print or add a colored blazer or colored denim pant to add that extra edge. As, with most of these trends keep your accessories simple or understated. You don’t want your shoes or handbag to overpower these prints.

 Lauren Conrad knows how to rock a blazer and look super chick doing it. Wearing a floral print skirt with a simple sweater, blazer or even a little leather jacket is and easy way to add this trend into your wardrobe.  If heels are not your style try wearing leggings with flats or tights with tall boots. Just keep it simple and comfortable to your style. 

 Nicole Richie another style icon wears a beautiful layering blouse to an NYC fashion show this fall. Nicole layered it over a simple black cami and black skinny jeggings. This is where you could cross the line a bit with your shoes and add a punch color pump in one of the hues that matches your floral colors.

Rachel Bilson is no stranger to style trends and is one to follow. She takes the mixing textures or colors to heart. Here she wore a fun punch color floral blouse with a red color pair of denim. When you mix patterns make one item more of the statement. The denim here is more of the eye catcher so Rachel kept her floral print small allowing the outfit not to overpower her.

Don’t let the drab of winter get you in a funk. Mix up your greys and blacks with fun floral prints. It’s simple to do and fun to try. I promise this trend will brighten any winter’s day.  So shine bright fashionistas!!
