Trend Watch: Floral Feast

The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming and all seems bright and beautiful as we finally see the end of a bitterly chilly Winter and settle into Spring.  If we hark back to September’s Spring Summer 16 shows, it’s unsurprising to see so many floral patterns adorning the catwalks.

The Giorgio Armani show featured an array of colourful, bold floral patterns such as the one embroidered onto this elegant strapless dress.  The flowery pattern is suggested rather than explicitly exhibited, not only does this make the dress more wearable than something with giant daisies stuck all over it, but it brings originality to what some would call an exhausted trend.

It’s not just on the catwalks where flowers are making an appearance this season, this and other stories two piece is a perfect example of how luxury high street brands are incorporating the trend into their collections in new and interesting ways. The halter-style top paired with the mid-length skirt adds a fresh elegance to the unique floral print.

For me, flowers have always and will always be on trend around Spring time and why should we limit our adherence to this trend to our clothing?

Our fleur ring in white gold is the perfect Spring accessory, delicate enough to be worn in the day time and sparkly enough to make a statement over cocktails in the evening.  Let the sparkles be the centre of attention by pairing this with a simple knee length sleeveless black dress like the one below.  Throw a classic black biker jacket over the top and pop on some strappy black heels to take you straight from the office to happy hour.

The Spring Summer 16 Jason Wu show was similarly a colourful and flowery affair, these two stunning dresses adorned with poppies are the ultimate garden party attire.  Don’t have the dollar to fish out for a Jason Wu dress?  Fear not, the high street is swarming with similar styles that you can snag for a smidgen of the price, this gorgeous three quarter-length shirt will give the same effect for less.  Plus, the sheer material is ideal for warmer climes.  Try it with some white linen culottes and a pair of white flatform sandals – the ideal outfit for a spring BBQ and you can stand out from the crowd by adding a touch of floral shimmer with the fleur bracelet in yellow gold.

Daisies are probably my favourite flower.  Around this time of year, memories of making daisy chains in the garden after school with friends always come back to me, bringing a smile to my face.  I still make daisy chains now, to be honest!  Lets call it nostalgic indulgence.  Anyways, I’m a big fan of anything decorated with daisies – which is why the daisy studs in rose gold are a must have for someone like me.  Plus, they are evidently bang on trend at the moment – pair them with a pastel daisy-embroidered dress like the one below for the ultimate floral statement.
