Flower print: a new interpretation and a new style
Look forward to a touch of summer! Spring sees the return of the floral print: strong colours, great patterns that make you feel good. In 2022, the cut, choice of fabric and overall look have been interpreted in a new way. Fashion nostalgia and a romantic touch! But floral patterns can also be different – casual and cool. That's why they look great on every woman, even if she may not know it yet. Find out here what keeps the floral print alive this year and how you can best style trousers, blouses, dresses, shirts, and skirts.
What is flower print?
No summer without a floral dress. Whether it's a midi or a full-length version. But a flower dress doesn't have to be for summer only. It can be an eye-catcher and a source of light for cloudy days or create a trendy contrast to leather pieces. Charming nonchalant casual – that's what the floral print can also be about. A trend that inspires with its versatility. And in fact, floral print has never been gone. Flower patterns simply never go out of fashion. They fascinate us with their feminine charm and natural look. An effortless style is particularly popular at a time when we, as fashion lovers, are becoming increasingly aware of our responsibility to the environment and are opting for vegan leather. With the floral print, we are also visually displaying our connection to nature. The print shows flowers of all sizes, colours, and styles – whether subtly decorated or as an all-over print on dresses, skirts, blouses or even trousers. Even simple flower tops create a good mood. In new interpretations, the trend opens new worlds. It takes you to the beach or the jungle: Palm tree or jungle patterns are also considered floral prints.
Why we love flower print
Floral patterns make fashion fun. Because they are incredibly versatile, something that works to our advantage when it comes to styling. They represent lightness – and yet in no time at all they can be transformed into a statement piece. In difficult times, flowers always give us a bit of hope. That's why flower prints were a crucial part of the flower power movement.
As versatile as flowers: how to style floral prints
Floral skirts embody romance and are the all-time classic for warm days. Floral print blouses promise spring vibes, even if spring is still a long way off. Flowery patterns in fashion create an eye-catcher that flatters every figure and highlights your appearance: Even a small belly is not noticeable under the floral top. You think the floral print is too romantic, too playful or makes you look girly? "Doesn't suit me", is not an option here. Because you simply haven't found the right print or suitable pairing yet. Depending on the styling, the flower print unfolds its own effect. On a white background, the pattern remains rather subtle. Larger flowers look less playful than delicate, intricate designs. They are generally recommended for tall women, ideally large-scale and as all-over style as statement wear. For petite women, the floral pattern can be more delicate, and it is best to keep the floral dress shorter. A floral midi dress adds a sophisticated touch to floral pattern fashion. A blazer achieves the same effect. An angular cut creates a stylish contrast to the delicate floral print. A floral two-piece adds elegance: blouse and trousers in a matching floral print. A mix of patterns is also allowed here, especially trendy combination: checks and stripes. And if you wear sandals with floral print trousers, you're going for an elegant style. Jeans always go well with floral tops. When subtle patterns meet denim, it adds a freshness to the casual look and the jeans reduce the predominantly romantic flair of the floral print. Flower skirts create a casual outfit with a simple shirt and sneakers. And the floral dress with jeans or a biker jacket makes for a rock star look. If you prefer a sportier look, simply take a hoodie or sports jacket as the ideal match from your wardrobe.
Which accessories to wear with floral prints?
To ensure that the flower print gets the attention it deserves, accessories should stay more subdued: a monochrome belt and a low-key bag. Fashionistas pick up a colour from the floral pattern for their shoes. And if you want to take a step-by-step approach to the floral print, you can start with patterned shoes or accessories and then gradually add the versatile pattern to your wardrobe.
