Trends 2012: BOLD FLORALS

Whether you like to stand out from the crowd or prefer to blend in, there is no denying that this season’s biggest trend is bold florals! Definitely not a look for the faint hearted, vibrant botanical prints have been covering everything from blazers, to shirts and trousers. The best of the style bloggers have been demonstrating how to work the look early by incorporating it into a winter friendly wardrobe. We don’t know about you, but we have no desire to be a wallflower after seeing these cheery prints!

Zina from top Spanish style blog Fashion Vibe got her hands on the most coveted Zara shirt early. Working the bright print into a winter appropriate outfit, she buttoned it to the top and teamed it with black shorts and a leather biker. We think it looks amazing; the perfect demonstration of how to rock florals out of season. To finish the look she added a gold choker, black wedges and some super chic Emporio Armani sunglasses.

It takes a fashion eccentric to wear a loud print head to toe. Kristal Anderson, blogger from The Gypsy and the Fox shows that it needn’t be so daunting if you stick to the same print in a two piece. Wearing a matching blazer and tailored trousers from H&M, Kristal keeps accessories to a minimum and wears simple black courts. We applaud the way she paired this bold ensemble with a monochrome blouse.

Perhaps the easiest way to make floral print work in less than sunny circumstances is to take the tailored trousers approach. Aimee Song from Song of Style the perfect pair from Motel Rocks with bold flowers against a black base. Wrapping up from the cold, she layered a red sweater over a denim shirt and threw on an oversized parka. The result is commendable; an effortless yet punchy style statement.

Finally, Polish blogger Alice Point from AlicePoint demonstrated an entirely different way to wear that infamous Zara blouse. In keeping with her personal style, Alice took a much more laid back and grungy approach to wearing a girly floral pattern. Tucking into acid wash denim and throwing over a biker makes for an instantly cool look. We also can’t get enough of her creepers!
