Five floral pieces to feel pretty in this summer

19th May 2011 3:00 am

We don’t know about you, but we’re getting a little fidgety about summer over here. You see, when the sun has its hat, we’re very happy indeed – and frankly we’ve had enough of grey skies and soggy feet.

So, with the sun’s glow just around the corner, we’re in the mood for something suitably summery, and we reckon florals will give us the fashion boost to hold out.

From daisies to ditsy and poppies to painterly, floral prints are the perfect pairing for warm days, and luckily, they’re about in abundance.

We’ve dug around for our favourite floral pieces to get us – and you – in the mood for sunshine. See below for our top picks that are guaranteed to get you feeling pretty this summer…

 

There’s nothing more feminine and flirty than a Fifties floral dress, especially when it’s bursting with multi-coloured blooms. The structured shape and deep rounded neck add a simplistic streak to D&G’s Mimosa dress that makes it perfect for any summer soiree.

D&G Mimosa dress, £320, available at Matches. BUY NOW!

 

This French Connection beau dress is loud and proud. The digital flower print in a rainbow palette is offset perfectly by the sumptuous silky fabric, meaning you don’t need anything other than a slick of bright lipstick and simple flat sandals to accessorise.

Adding floral accessories to your spring style is a must. Nicholas Kirkwood’s Bizzarre satin ankle strap sandals are a serious statement, but we love their overly feminine charm and cool abstract print. Pair with a white shift dress and nude accessories for balance.

Looking for a subtler way to satisfy your floral fantasy? Try Boutique by Topshop‘s silk blouse – the soft smudge print adds a gorgeous hint of the garden whilst remaining utterly chic.

Summer wouldn’t be complete without a pair of pretty sunglasses, and this season’s shades are nothing short of fun. We love Dolce & Gabbana’s floral frames for simple yet strikingly sweet style.
