Victoria Day is behind us and summer is ahead. If you’re looking for a wardrobe update, we have a blooming tip for you. Patterns are hot this year, including colourful florals. You’ll find flowers on pants, shorts, skirts, blouses, tanks, jewellery and dresses. We’ve picked out four fresh ideas for you if you’re looking to freshen up your summer wardrobe, at various price points. With a certain retro flair, you may even be able to find some great floral summer fashion at your local vintage or thrift shop. Style is all about playing around and experimenting, and flowers add a whole lot of fun to the mix.

Summer Fashion in Florals

1. Easy Breezy Blouses

Throw on a lightweight floral blouse and you’ll keep your cool this summer while looking great. A floral blouse is easy to dress up or down, and can go from beach cover-up to night out with the right accessories and skirt or trousers. Plus, tops are more affordable and versatile than bottoms, making them a great budget summer fashion piece.

2. Maxi Dress

Long skirts are flattering, forgiving and comfortable. When that skirt is attached to a maxi dress, you have a piece that’s easy to wear and offers feminine flair. Maxis are everywhere this season, proving that everything is new again, and bringing a little retro flair to summer fashion.

3. Flowery Accessories

Accessories are a fun and easy way to update your look, no matter the season. Look for be-blossomed jewellery, bags, shoes and scarves to bring some fresh florals into your wardrobe. It’s easy summer fashion that you can pair with more basic pieces to add come colour and currency.

4. Blooming Bottoms

You won’t just find flowers on blouses and dresses this summer. Shorts, skirts and pants are getting in on the fun, too. The bold, colourful theme of spring is continuing into summer fashion. We know that skinny jeans may sound like something that only 19-year-olds should wear, but take it from us – they’re surprisingly flattering and comfortable even for those of us who’ve had a couple of kids, thanks to their stretch.
