For the past few seasons, florals have been making a comeback into sartorial trends in a big way. Designers are restructuring the often over-used pattern and modernizing it, using it to add pops of colour to structured garments, or as a subtle way of feminizing otherwise typically tough apparel – for example, Dr. Martens floral patterning on their classic 1460 boots. Whatever way you choose to wear this blossoming trend, don’t be afraid of taking a risk. “This season is all about stepping out of your comfort zone and being brave with your fashion choices,” says Free People Toronto Assistant Store Manager, Sam Boudreau. “Florals and prints are huge for Spring, so why not be bold and wear them together? Throw on a cute floral dress and layer it with your favourite striped sweater to stand out from the crowd,” adds stylist April Wilder. Take a look at some of our favourite floral pieces for spring that will surely inspire you to add some flower power into your wardrobe.
