Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking.
How to Make It Feel Fresh
Spring is practically synonymous with florals. Prompted by the season’s warmer temperatures, flowers burst onto the scene in nature and on runways alike, inspiring everything from personal style to home ambiance and perfumery.
While traditional floral prints may be the go-to take on the trend, designers like Loewe and Chloe superimposed these on billowing, architectural silhouettes. Acne delivered printed boots and floppy crochet flowers, while Zomer dressed their runway models as literal larger-than-life bouquets. The consensus here is clear: the new way to wear florals is over-the-top, with an innovative edge worthy of even Miranda’s Priestly’s approval.
01. Texture & Dimension
Whether it’s the precise three-dimensional rosettes of Carolina Herrera or the gently lifting floral appliqués of Jil Sander, texture and dimension are key to the modern botanical. For a versatile, everyday option, this rosette knit tank pairs seamlessly with jeans and trousers. For a glamorous evening pick, this off-shoulder gown embellished with fabric roses is whimsical and confidently feminine.
Build on your look by layering on a quintessential spring perfume like Byredo’s La Tulipe Eau de Parfum, inspired by the first blooms of the season, or envelop your home in the scent of Diptyque’s Roses candle to create an inviting, springtime ambiance.
02. Cascading Prints & Patterns
The fun of a floral print is how it can surprise us with a fresh arrangement. From Emilia Wickstead to Versace and Monique Lhuillier, SS25 runways showcased a scattered, balanced composition that featured florets or single-stemmed flowers, giving the effect of a cascading bouquet. For refined daytime style, find floral cutouts or a moody long-stemmed motif among our collection.
Matching your manicure is another strategy for embracing spring. We happen to be partial to Le Vernis by Chanel in Immortelle, a calming lilac, and Rêveuse, a bold sparkly chartreuse.
03. Accessories & Extras
Whether you prefer a floral accent or a layered botanical look, accessories are an easy way to either dip into a trend or double down on it. Floral earrings, such as this pair with a pearl drop, are an effective statement and simple addition to any outfit.
Really want to go all in? Much like what was seen at the Bottega Veneta show, emulate Jane Birkin with a bouquet (real or faux) peeking out of your handbag.
