The Freshest Florals

It being Spring, it can hardly come as much of a surprise that florals are at the foremost of many of the seasons collections. It is an annual trend and one of the most revisited of fashion fallbacks. But it needn’t be all floaty chiffon blouses and delicate tea dresses, as we are reminded by the bold and distinctly less ‘polite’ floral prints on offer this season.

Rising star and fashion darling Mary Katrantzou gave a bright and eclectic floral rendition of her signature bold prints and structured tailoring. You can be sure of one thing as far as her bloom inspired collection goes: sweet and sickly they ain’t!

If head to toe in primary colour block floral isn’t for you, then try this take on the classic biker jacket. In silk-faille, adorned with Katrantzou’s coveted digital prints, this is the ultimate fashion forward cover up this spring. Pair with bright tailored trousers or let it give an edge to your prettiest summer dress.

Digitals blooms were also central in the spring/summer collection at Amanaka Wilmont, albeit in darker, somewhat more subdued tones.

This stretch cotton number, with its structured floral overlays is my outfit of choice for the wedding season this year. Fresh and feminine without the danger of blending into any nearby flower arrangements.

For a more casual floral hit, look no further than Sandro’s blossom print separates. Wear apart to brighten up your existing spring wardrobe, or together for a print-clashing-ly eclectic ensemble.
