Trend of the week: Floral prints

Beware wallflowers! This season is not for the print shy, says Annmarie O'Connor.

INSPIRATION

Loud, graphic and unabashed – spring/summer’s floral prints are ‘notice me’ for all the right reasons.

Forget darling buds and delicate blossoms; the current offering is a blooming bash, especially when mixed with kaleidoscope colours and set against a backdrop of tapestries, jacquards and appliqués.

The word on the street is ‘more is more’ so get ready for an unforgettable garden party.

STYLE NOTES

Do head-to-toe print in a neutral colour like Victoria Beckham. Slightly more serious than print clashing and silhouette-lengthening to boot!

Floral boots trump last spring’s floral kimono trend. Nail the look with a midi length skirt or cropped flares for easy chic.

We love Lisa Ryder’s Italian-crafted bag offering for 2016. Hand-illustrated with imposing wild flowers, these limited edition beauties are for keeps.

Arty at heart? Fall for Finery London’s abstract floral midi dress (very Marni!).

Wear with this season’s low block heel and embrace functional fashion at its finest.
