How to wear florals for different occasions

FLORAL FASHION IS never out of trend, but it helps to know how to get it right. Stylists at Vajor share tips that can help you style your floral outfits for different occasions to add spark to your look:

* Workwear: Floral prints mostly in dresses is on top of this season’s trend alert. One can easily incorporate some florals in the workwear wardrobe by going for minimal silhouettes and elegant prints. You can style a nice muted floral sheath dress with a leather belt, a longline blazer and a nice pair of block heels. A floral shirt with a solid skirt would also be a great hit at your workplace.

• Evening looks: People often pair florals with a breezy morning brunch or a sunny afternoon stroll but it could be a nice evening wear option too. Go for a floral print over a rich fabric like silk, satin or organza. You can also go for a quite, elaborate silhouette and finish the look with a pair of statement earrings and contrasting pumps.

• For fall: One should opt for some earthy florals over chirpy ones. You can incorporate colours like slightly rustic shades of orange; go for floral printed mustards or a shade of lavender. You can style your floral skirts with tinted full sleeve blouses and wear your floral dresses as a layer over a basic t-shirt or shirt and complete the look with a pair of boots; some chunky accessories would infuse magic to the whole ensemble.

• Casual getaways: A go-to option for casual getaways, floral printed short dresses can be a very sophisticated yet playful choice. The colours can be anything from vibrant to bright or neutral. Boots and scarves can be matched to give a winter vibe to your outfit. Long floral shrugs are also great add-ons for a chic and breezy look in the fall season.

• For a picnic: The year is not complete without at least one meal eaten alfresco in the park or by the beach. Find something that keeps you comfortable like a nice floral blouse paired with comfortable linen pants. A floral dress paired with a solid scarf also makes for a great outfit choice! You can choose long floral shrugs instead as they add a rich look to any dress.
