Spring is just around the corner and nothing marks the new season quite like a flowery print. Chic florals have been gracing our runways since the beginning of time. And dating as far back as the 12th Century in China, floral design is something that carries so much symbolism within the world of fashion and accessories. From pure femininity and a reflection of opulence and riches to a sign of the seasons, flower prints have been used to celebrate women for so long. They can be ornate and delicate, bold and psychedelic, soft and understated, ditsy and darling, or just simple and summery.

Whatever type of floral print you choose, guaranteed it will remain timeless and versatile for years to come. Here are the 5 must-own wardrobe pieces to welcome in the upcoming SS18 spring season.

If you are looking for the ultimate statement this year, invest in a bold blazer. Every designer from Erdem and Philip Lim to Dolce & Gabbana have released statement floral jackets recently. And this unique design by Dries Van Noten is a beautiful depiction of gothic florals, with a Van Gogh esque sunflower embroidery for a dark kind of opulence. This jacket is ideal for styling with a simple ensemble such as jeans and a t-shirt, or for teaming with a little black dress in the evenings.

  1. The Floral Dress

If there’s one piece that screams ‘summer’ in the world of fashion, it’s the floral dress. A seasonal staple that offers so much wear, and something that every woman should own at least one of. This Gucci knee length dress is modest enough for wearing in the daytime, and can be dressed down for the office or styled with heels for a formal function. For print overload, match with a clashing clutch and a bright pop of colour in your footwear.

  1. The Floral Trouser

Choosing floral print when it comes to trousers is a great way of adding femininity in a masculine way. The juxtaposition channels flowery in a fierce way, and allows you to keep the rest of your outfit clean and simple. Team with a white shirt or top and keep your accessories basic. Let these bold floral print pants by Prada do all the talking.
