Floral Outfits for Every Season for Color, Femininity & Romance

Aren’t florals a fashion “trend” every year when the flowers are blooming? I can’t remember a Spring when this print was not in style. But it doesn’t have to go away during transitional weather because it can be layered. And in the winter, just wear it in a darker ground such as black or navy. Due to it’s classic quality, age doesn’t matter. So I thought it’s about time to take a look at what we have in our closets and focus on creating some floral outfits for every season. And with all the trending designs this Spring, who knows? You might get tempted to add a new bloom to your wardrobe! 

Included in this post are two style tips and outfit ideas for each season as well as some that can be worn any time of the year.

Floral Outfits for Every Season

~ Any references to leather or fur in this post, as throughout this blog, are meant to be faux in order to be kind to animals. ~

Style Tip #1:

Pair anything in a floral print with sequins and/or lace.

Style Tip #2:

Add anything in a leopard-print to a floral dress, top, skirt or pants. For example, you might add a leopard scarf, belt, top, bottom, topper, handbag, hat or footwear.

Example: 

Mix a floral-print big shirt with animal-print leggings or pants. Or pair a regular-size floral short with an animal-print skirt. If cool, add a fur vest.

Outfit Ideas

Look at all of the colors in your floral piece and find all of the clothes in your wardrobe in one or more of those colors (as a print) that you can pair with it. Don’t forget to check your scarves and shawls for options, too.

For Spring/Summer:

1. Pair a t-shirt with a floral maxi skirt. Add a belt & flat sandals.
2. Wear a floral shirt open as a jacket over a tank top in a color from the print over white pants. Add gold hoop earrings + narrow gold bangles + a tan bag. 
3. Wear a floral shirt open as a jacket over a column of color (i.e., a top & bottom set in the same color.)
4. Pair a floral shirt with white or ivory pants or dress. You might like to top this with a white or ivory vest. Add wide gold hoop earrings & wedge sandals. Or, accessorize with flat gold sandals + gold bangles + gold dangle earrings + a straw hat.
5. A floral shirt over a neutral-color dress or a dress in a color from the print. 
   

   

6. Pair a floral shirt with blue jeans. Add a lapis cuff & a straw hat.
7. A floral shirt + black pants. Add flat sandals, such as tan & gold + long gold earrings + a gold bracelet.
8. A white tank top + beige linen pants + a floral shirt worn open as a jacket. Add wedge sandals + a couple of strands of beads.
9. To a pretty floral dress, add minimal jewelry & shoes heavy enough to keep you earthbound (such as chunky platform espadrilles or tan peep-toe booties.) You might like to pin your hair up.

For warm-weather modesty: 

1. A floral kimono or duster over a body-conscious outfit.
2. Add a floral big shirt (whether sheer or not) worn open as a jacket over a body-conscious dress.
3. Top a slip dress with a floral shirt worn open as a jacket.

For Spring/Summer evenings:

1. Accessorize a floral dress with flat gold sandals & hoop earrings.
2. With a black cardigan & a black floral skirt, add a bare halter, camisole or strapless top — one in silk or satin or a sweater knit. You might like to belt it in black satin or gold leather. Add evening sandals, pretty jewels and perfect makeup.
3. Pair a short-sleeve lace top with a floral skirt.
4. Slide a lace turtleneck under a floral dress. Add tan booties & shoulder-duster earrings.

For Fall/Winter:

1. Top a navy blue or black floral dress with a jacket or cardigan. Add tights & boots.
2. A classic black blazer (button only one in the middle) over a shirt over a black floral skirt. Shoot the cuffs. Layer a bead bracelet with a cord bracelet. Add a watch or I.D. bracelet on your other wrist + a thumb ring.
3. Top a tank top & black floral maxi skirt with a black leather jacket. Add a long chain necklace & nude flats.
4. Pair a gray velvet duster with a navy floral maxi dress. Or match the colors of your choice. Add over-the-knee boots to stay extra warm. See below for a transitional weather option for between seasons.
5. Belt a loose sweater over a floral maxi skirt.

Outfits for Anytime/Transitional Weather:

1. Wear a floral kimono or duster over dresses, tops or casual outfits.
2. Cover a floral maxi dress with a matching-color cardigan. Add a lightweight scarf in a color from the dress. Accessorize with turquoise earrings & an extra ring. Layer a short turquoise pendant with a couple of similar size strands of beads or chains. On wrist, layer a few narrow gold bangles with a beaded wrap bracelet. You might like to wear tan boots.
3. Wear a floral shirt under or over a dress, such as a leopard-print dress.
4. Wear a floral shirt open as a jacket over a black top & black leather pants.
5. A black t-shirt + a black floral maxi skirt + black sneakers or slip-on shoes. Or match your tee and footwear to the background color of your skirt.
6. A black drape-front cardigan + a black shell + a black floral maxi skirt. Layer a short & long pendant with a long chain or metal bead necklace. Add boots.
7. Layer a short-sleeve black sweater over a black tank over a black floral skirt. Add drop earrings + a gold or colorful bangle + heeled sandals or booties.
