FALL’S FABULOUS FLORALS

How to Wear This Season’s Liberty Print Florals

FLOWER POWER

You may think flowers are reserved only as a way to show congratulations or love. They may hold a special space in your closet and come out only when the sun is shining. Well, think again, because summer fashion trends were dominated by floral prints, and this upcoming fall season is no exception. Though the flowers won’t necessarily bloom as much anymore, they’ll still show up in stores and on stylish celebs like Keira Knightley. Here are some liberty-print floral options that will take you easily from the last summer months and into the fall season.

FLORAL PRINT DRESSES

For all you fashionistas that like taking a risk, dare to go bold with this trend and don a dress with an all-over floral print. Designers including Derek Lam, Michael Kors and Anna Sui all brought flower power back for the upcoming seasons.

• Try this floral print tie neck dress by Anna Sui and make it perfect for fall with black tights and oxford heels.

• For transitional pieces, wear this Shoshanna floral halter dress with metallic accents for the remaining weeks of summer and shift it into fall with some amazing flats and a jacket.

• Using the same sweet floral look, but upping the glam factor, this Nu Collective dress from Pink Mascara will bring a touch of color to the gloomier months. Pair with some flat boots and a scarf for a fall-worthy look.

FLORAL TOPS

For a little less flower power, but with the same impact, try floral tops, which are dominating the collections with their versatility and likeability.

• This sheer floral print tank top by Stella McCartney just begs to be worn tucked in to a pair of high waist jeans with a belt and some heels. On the same token, the tank would look amazing with some skinny jeans, flats and a cozy long cardigan.

• Make a feminine statement with this western-style floral blouse from Bebe complete with ruffle trim and snap closure.

• For a more sophisticated look for work, try this J.Crew floral collared blouse with this season’s full skirt, opaque tights and some oxford heels.

• Last but certainly not least, this Lux floral one-piece swimsuit can double as an adorable top underneath a pair of high-waist jeans, making it the ideal last-minute vacation piece.

FLORAL PRINT ACCESSORIES

It’s okay if you tend to shy away from prints, because liberty florals are showing up on accessories as well. From shoes and scarves to handbags and undergarments, florals are blooming on many fall accessories.

• For a little pop of flower color, accent your outfit with a floral scarf from Charlotte Russe wrapped around your neck or tied up in your hair.

• This Free People floral print bandeau with lace trim will add some interest to a basic deep V-neck top or button-up blouse.

• For a fresh touch of femininity, discover the always-in-style floral wedges that can take you from daytime (with casual jeans and a tee) into night to amp up your little black dress.
