What’s one thing that everyone brings up as soon as spring comes around and can be spotted in nearly every store in existence? Yep, it’s florals. At this point, floral print is about as classic as a little black dress and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. I mean, how can you hate something that looks so cheerful and smells so nice in its physical flower form? You can even find floral prints in darker colors, so for all of you “neutrals or the highway” Fashionistas/os, there’s probably a floral print that will suit your fancy.
With so many flowery options out there that you can don, we’ve asked some of our Style Gurus to pick out their floral must-haves for the spring season. So take a peek, and maybe something will speak to your soul this spring!
1. Floral Heels
“I adore florals but they can be overdone in the Spring. Wearing floral shoes is a fun way to spice up the spring trend and get noticed.”- Amelia Burns, Temple University
“I am in love with Anthropogie’s new dress line for this upcoming spring/summer season, it is filled with simple, elegant and delicate pieces. This piece in particular, the Petaline Midi Dress, really caught my eye. It is the perfect floral dress for almost any warm weather occasion.”- Alison Rugg, Johnson & Wales University
3. Slip Dress
“Slip dresses are some of my favorite go-to pieces. Especially floral slips, because they’re so versatile and take most of the work out of putting together a chic outfit. Just throw on some accessories and you’re good to go.”- Katie Klinefelter, Ohio University
“Culottes are all the rage right now! My new style mantra is “go bold, or go home,” and that’s just what this pair of culottes does. The floral print is updated in a graphic style that will have the most floral abhorrent Fashionistas question “why not floral?””- Ami Cornell, Mercyhurst University.
“Lately it’s been all about the revival of the classics like adidas Superstars. These floral shoes are a modern twist on a classic sneaker that’s sure to be unique this season.”- Bethany Durst, Salisbury University
6. Floral Bag
“This bag is perfect for spring time getaways! I love the pop of pattern against the classic black.”- Jenna Mrocko, Miami University (Ohio)
“It features a subtle floral pattern that isn’t overwhelming. Perfect for a rock ‘n’ roll vibe! The gold color is gorgeous and the delicacy of the dress is perfect for spring!”- Anya Haber, SCAD
“I picked this jacket because its subtle. It has a floral print but with neutral colors that allows for it to be worn with more pieces in your closet.
