Big Blossoms Prints: How To Wear Them In The Summer

Flowers have been present in our lives in various forms, from having them to admire in our windows, vases or gardens, to actually being printed on our clothes. Why? For the simple fact that they are beautiful. The floral trend began many years ago but started out with small, tiny flowers printed on dresses, skirts, pants of tops. The SS 2015 season has brought in another take on this trend: oversized flowers. Big blossoms are still a floral trend but a newer version of it: they are big and present a whole lot of texture. They are also feminine and have the purpose of embracing the happiness and romance of spring.

The fun part is that blooms have started being presented on runways even in Fall and Winter, not just Spring and Summer, so it’s a great thing. Now, you don’t need any other reason the wear them. You do it because first, you like them and second, it’s trendy.

Big Blossoms – The New Floral Trend?

Most of the times, the floral trend, and the big blossoms come in pastel or dynamic colors, mixing beautifully with neutral colors. However, there were sometimes when designers have pushed this trend into a more dark direction, taking advantage of big blossom in shades such as dark red, burgundy and marsala, and even black. It’s like they were presenting a whole other dimension of this trend, an interesting dimension I might add.

POSITIVE FACT: Due to the textures and the print, big blossoms can be worn by everybody, no matter the body type. So, let your wardrobe embellish with big blossoms and petals and enjoy wearing them every minute of it.

How To Wear Big Blossoms

I think it’s time to put some attitude into florals and start making them look fresh again by adding some other textures as well: fringe, lace or sheer materials.

Seeing that fringe is already a strong print this season, a mix of fringe and big flowers could really catch the eye and transform your outfit into a summer-loving look, and also a more relaxed one.

This is a more elegant look. What should you do so that you give it a bohemian, summer vibe? I would replace the heels with a pair of summer espadrilles or suede flat sandals, add a pair of shades and a fringed handbag. Also, I would add a headband with a few big flowers.

“Put a fresh spin on florals in this cut-out jumpsuit. Cut with a wide leg and fitted top, the low cut-out back gives a flash of exposed skin. “

I remember when the famous Miranda Priestley from The Devil Wear Prada (book and movie) said, “in shock”: “Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking.”

When I come to think of it, it’s funny, the way she said it. It doesn’t mean it’s also true. Sure, it’s expected that for spring, the floral print to be omnipresent and it wouldn’t be if designers didn’t present us, season after season, with ways to renew this trend by making it fresh, stylish, trendy, edgy and feminine at the same time.
