The floral print has not lost its relevance for several years, and this spring it again does not leave the world’s catwalks and covers of glossy magazines. In this article we will try to figure out how to wear it, and also remember the basic rules for compiling sets.
A bit of theory: a floral print is a large or small pattern on a fabric of plant and floral motifs. Some stylists divide images into active and calm, two-tone and colorful, with a predominance of classics and abstract, but we believe that all this is not so important, and the thing should be chosen based on one’s own feelings. If you’re comfortable, take it!
Basic Rules
In total, there are four options for wearing a print:
- Full body. A dress or suit with a floral pattern is sure to attract the attention of others. In order not to look too vulgar and not overdo it with color, use only plain shoes and accessories. Of course, such an image will not work for work, but as an option for a date it looks quite good.
- print block. Printed items are combined with plain elements of the wardrobe. As a rule, this is a motley top and a calm bottom. A small floral pattern looks especially good with denim. The look is light and very feminine.
- print on print. An option for the most daring, as it involves a combination of completely different prints. Never worn a “floral” blazer with a polka dot dress – maybe you should give it a try…or get the help of a professional stylist who sees the line between a bold and trendy look and complete bad taste.
- Accent. The most unobtrusive way to use a floral print. A monochromatic set is complemented by bright accessories – glasses, a bag, a belt – or bright shoes (you can find the right option at Belwest ). In this form, you can go for a walk, to work or to the theater.
The manner of wearing a print depends on its features. A large flower is quite self-sufficient, and therefore is often used as an accent or in full-body images (at the same time, everything looks quite harmonious, the picture does not ripple).
A small flower is more versatile and goes well with any plain fabrics, as well as with other unobtrusive patterns. If you do not know where to start – try this option, and you will not lose.
But what about the figure?
There is an opinion that women in the body should wear only large flowers. In fact, everything is individual. It is important to understand that a thing with any pattern will emphasize the part of the body on which it is worn. If you want to show off your slender legs – choose bright trousers and skirts, hide flaws – a solid color.
