Trends Report: Winter Florals

Keeping up with the break-neck speed of seasonal transitions just got a little easier – that’s because one of Fall’s hottest looks happen to be a warm-weather staple: florals. Get more mileage from your Spring purchases with only some minor adjustments and come up smelling like a rose (I know, it’s a bad pun).

Let your face and body shape be your guide. If you haven’t already, complete your Bodyline Profile to learn which posies are your best picks (there I go again).

If your face is Angular, go for graphic florals in striking shapes that will highlight your chiseled features; if your face is Curved, opt for softer, watercolor florals…think flowy and romantic swirls of color to play up your feminine curves. Don’t forget scale: if you are petite, stick with medium size prints that won’t look precious, while taller gals can opt for larger prints…with “no bigger than your palm” a good rule to follow.

Transition summery pieces by adding opaque tights, chunky knits, slim jackets and boots in ankle or knee lengths. Consider layering a filmy frock over a fine gauge wool turtleneck for an eclectic look that is subtle and sophisticated. Mix things up by pairing florals with tweeds and plaids for a unique personal style statement.

And whatever you do, don’t limit yourself. There will be tons of great accessories that flaunt floral style. What about a delicate ring or snazzy umbrella? Both are sure to keep warm weather memories close.
