Flora Power

Its summer and one of the hot trends this season are floral prints. Floral prints can look chic if they are worn the correct way if they are not worn the correct way the whole ensemble tends to look babyish. So here are some tips:

1. Choose a Print
   
   With so many types of floral prints to choose from, it’s important to choose a pattern that works with your personal taste and style. Flower designs can range from dainty and delicate to big and bold.
   If you prefer styles that are simple and sophisticated, try looking for a print that features small, miniature flowers. A finer print is not only appropriate for the office and work place, but is a great way to bring in a feminine touch. If you're the type to rock statement patterns, a print featuring larger flowers will work best for you. Look for bright colors, vibrant designs and eye-catching details.
2. Use the Same Color Palette
   
   Once you chosen a floral print, wear clothing in coordinating colors to create a cohesive look. This method is also a good way to put together multiple outfits using the same item. Pay attention to pattern's colors, choose one or two, then work around your choices.
3. Use Accessories
   
   Wearing accessories is one the most tried and true ways of wearing any kind of pattern, and the same can certainly be said for floral prints. Even just one accessory is enough to brighten up an otherwise plain outfit. Larger items such as tote bags, hats and scarves can add some major color to a look, while jewelry and belts can bring in a light dose of floral fun.
4. With Neutral Colors

       Using neutrals is another styling option to use when you aren’t wearing colors found in the actual print. It's also a good "safety" styling method when you aren't quite sure what to wear, but would like to add florals to your ensemble.

5. With Menswear Inspired Clothing
   
   Styling floral pieces with menswear inspired clothing is a fool proof way of looking chic yet fun. Think blazers, straight leg pants and crisp button ups. This will prevent your outfit from looking too juvenile, and instead create a classy, mature look.
6. With Heels
   
   Pairing flower prints with your favorite style of heels are a great way to wear floral with sophistication. Kitten heels and wedges are both ideal options, as these types of heels are modest enough to be worn in both office and party settings. High heels and boots also look especially flattering with floral prints, especially if you're going for a sultrier yet fun look.
