Nothing says summer fashion more than a striking floral print. Give your wardrobe extra life by adding a few of the season’s prettiest flower-sprinkled pieces.
Texture Play
Fabrics with a weave of textures, patterns and layers create an eclectic yet cohesive wanderlust esthetic. Master this playful look with a floral-print skirt paired with a fringe-hemmed top and a straw hat.
Top, $118, anntaylor.com. Skirt, $175, clubmonaco.ca. Hat and shoes, bananarepublic.ca. Cuff, ilovebiko.com.
Nice Stems
File these bottoms under personality pants. Combine them with a solid-coloured feminine top, like we did with this ruffled sleeveless version.
Top, $89, shop.guess.ca. Pants, $40, oldnavy.ca. Earrings, jenny-bird.ca. Rings, hm.com/ca.
Heavy Petals
If you bought a formal full-length floral dress last year, perhaps for a wedding, give it new life this season with casual sandals and minimal accessories.
Dress, $559, tedbaker.com.
Modern Romance
For a subtler take on florals, stick to a smaller print in a combo of one colour and one neutral. Tone down fancy flounces on sleeves by pairing with jeans or a denim skirt.

Flower Child
If an all-over print is a little too girlie for your style, try this spectacular embroidered number.
Free People dress, $167, shopbop.com. Bracelet, bananarepublic.ca.
Daisies For Days
Fashion optimism begins with blooms that are anything but prim and proper—especially this new take on the ’90s daisy print.
Dress, $195, bananarepublic.ca. Earrings, ilovebiko.com. Bracelet, linksoflondon.com.
Flower Bomb
This pastel-coloured frock is perfect as both a smart work outfit and a date-night dress. Move the look into fall by adding a trench coat and slouchy ankle boots.
Dress, $275, 3rdfloorstudio.ca. Cuff and eye ring, ilovebiko.com. Rings, hm.com/ca. Shoes,

Fit To Be Tied
The universally flattering wrap dress is one of those items every woman should have in her wardrobe. Give yours a boho vibe by styling with woven mules and a wide-brimmed hat.
Dress, $110, lechateau.com. Hat, winners.ca. Necklace, dolorousjewelry.com. Shoes, marshalls.ca.
Boho Beauty
Kimono styles are still a strong trend. Wear a moody bloom print over everything from jeans and a tee to a pencil skirt and a cami.
