Trend of the Week: Floral free for all

Flower power starts here, writes Annmarie O'Connor

Alexander McQueen dress, Brown Thomas, €2,990

Inspiration:

Not all trends are created equal. Some are exciting – like first-date butterflies; others are comforting – like ice-cream and Golden Girls reruns.

Then there are florals; the trend that caters to our appetite for newness while being reliably, well, reliable. As we emerge from style hibernation (be gone, puffer coats!) into a more clement clothing climate, expect a bouquet of hyper-colourful buds, wallpaper print references and boho psychedelia to ease the transition.

Ah, florals; you mighty multi-taskers!
