Just as the snow begins to melt and transforms the world with the vivacious colours of spring, blowing new life into budding blooms, we are beginning to breathe the same life into our dreary winter wardrobes. As we toss out the dark pieces of the past season, we’re making room for the feminine pastels and of course the pattern that is synonymous with spring: floral. Over the years, florals have evolved with the trends, making them a go-to print for designers. Most recently used on the runways of Rachel Roy and Nicole Miller, this pattern has become the hottest trend of the season. From lace to prints, this pattern is commonly known for its sweet innocence but lately it has never been sexier.
