A verdant abundance bloomed across spring runways, and many of us swooned over the floral dresses that walked—each house offering its own take on the pattern. There were roses at Chloé, daises at Celine, and cornflowers at Stella McCartney. Much like the eye-catching displays in the Flower District, you’ll find that no two stems—and no two prints—are the same.
Many of these bolder patterns can feel like a statement on, though. In which case, if you’re not ready to commit to the full bouquet, accepting a singular flower can feel like an easier way in—and luckily, the market is brimming with options.
How to Wear Florals, the Vogue Way:
A floral accent is an easy way to tap into the look without going full wallpaper; for a subtle nod, try it as an embroidered motif on a pair of jeans, a raffia tote with multicolored stitching, or a floral appliqué shoe—Proenza Schouler’s heeled sandals add just the right pep in your step. Because while the floral print is nothing new, it can be made fresh through considered choices and sharp styling.

As a Top
Lean into the retro summer mood with Chloé’s pink bodysuit, straight from the runway, grounded by a pair of jeans and white sandals. For colder moments, throw a khaki jacket on top and let the print peek through.
