Fashion Trends: How To Wear Floral
Celebrity Stylist Zoe Lem teaches you how to wear florals - a very pretty trend for spring/summer.
-
Step 1:
-
Head to toe floral
-
This is a great look for when the sun is shining & its very pretty.
-
You can wear head to toe floral as long as you get the right balance of colour and texture. If you have a dress in a floral pattern, if you add accessories and a shrug with a floral texture rather than pattern you can bring together a nice balance. So choose 1 of the colours from your pattern for your accessories and don't forget the right shoe colour.

Step 2:
-
Mix of floral patterns
-
If you like this theme & want to really go for it you can but you need to be careful.
-
If you have a great cotton dress in a vintage style you can add a cotton, vintage style bag. You need to stick with the same themes. Don't go abstract mixing with old style or modern with art nouveau.
-
You need to be careful of fabric - don't mix satin with cotton or silk mix with crepe. Stick with the same fabrics and you're sure to get it right.
-
Step 3:
-
Floral flavour
-
You can keep on trend without going over the top. For just a flavour of floral go for separates.
-
If you go for a skirt in floral pick out 1 of the colours and wear it on top so it blends rather than just a white or black top.
-
Step 4:
-
The right size pattern
-
This is about getting the right size for your figure. You need to be careful, the pattern should be relative to your height and build.
-
If you're petite don't go for a big abstract, bold pattern - it will drown you and make you look smaller.
-
If you have a fuller figure or you're taller don't choose something too small as it will make you look bigger.
-
The pattern size should be in proportion with your body.
-
Step 5:
-
Floral accessories
-
For a little spice you can add a bag, shoes, jewellery or a scarf but don't wear them all together. Choose one thing and let it be a statement piece. A bright printed bag can be a statement as long as you pick out the colours and the whole outfit works together.
