WHY SHOULD GIRLS HAVE ALL THE FUN?

Gone are the days when floral prints were the territory of women alone. The pattern has gradually made its way into menswear (several celebrities, from Ranveer Singh to Pharrell Williams, have been sporting this trend) and is making waves in that segment. “From gardenias to exotic cherry blossoms, each flower depicts a mood, and sets a safe playground for every designer to get back to and reinvent each summer. If you thought florals looked better on women, you have been living under a rock. Designers like Dolce & Gabbana and Yves Saint Laurent, among many others, have redefined menswear by using graphic wildflower versions that will help your style blossom,” says designer Kunal Anil Tanna.

BLOOM INSPIRATION FOR MEN:

Play it safe with a subtle hint of florals in the form of a necktie and bow tie

Ditsy floral print shirts will never go out of style

Barring the loathsome Hawaiian shirts, tropical printed ones are great for vacationing in the sun

Printed lapel pins and boutonnières can spruce up just about any boring jacket

Rich Indian brocades — our version of floral prints — can be used in traditional garments

Printed scarves can add a touch of vibrancy to any look

Neck scarfs and pocket squares are the best finishing touches for a summer-ready look.
