Floral Frills

Copy the catwalk with floaty floral pieces; push the trend by mixing key items with alternate prints and layers to add an eclectic twist.

Floral was in full bloom on the spring/ summer runways. Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu and Prada are collections worth noting, and with versions of the hottest key pieces now available on the high streets, the trend has never been easier to recreate. Be it washed out colours, hand-painted buds or tiny calico prints, this season is as girly as it gets.

Mix and match pieces to get the right look for you, a mixture of ditsy and delicate or bold and bright will transform even the worst of the wilting weeds. Rebels can team pretty pastel skirts, dresses and blouses with leather jackets and biker boots. Whilst others can opt for the full on romantic look, mixing lavish florals with ruffles, frills and lace. Play around with your favourite pieces to show everyone how it’s done.
