STYLE NOTES:

• `TIS THE SEASON: Look to richer colourways like brown, blue, and perennial black to anchor whimsical blossoms.
• USE YOUR ILLUSION: Floral edging and panelling lends itself to a more strategic silhouette.
• NICE ACCENT: Not a darling bud? Accessories are a low-commitment way to grow into the trend.
• PRINTS CHARMING: Layer a polo neck beneath a floral dress; pair with knee boots and a check coat for an unusual seasonal pairing.
