One of the biggest fashion trends for spring 2008 is the return of floral dressing. It seems that flowers are blooming everywhere, on brightly colored dresses, blouses, and soft, silk scarves. If you're wardrobe has always been tailored, you may not feel completely comfortable with the new floral fashions. Here are some tips on how to wear flowers for spring 2008:
How to wear flowers: Choose flowers that compliment your frame
If you're a five feet tall, petite, and slender, a large, gaudy floral print will overwhelm your small frame. Look for a smaller, more delicate flower print to compliment your build. If you're tall and slender, you can get away with the bold, splashy floral prints and graphics that are so popular this season. If you're carrying a few extra pounds, you'll want to stay away from bold flower prints in bright colors since they can emphasize your size. Opt for a smaller, simpler flower print instead.
How to wear flowers: Use flowers to accentuate your better half
If you tend to carry your weight in your hips and thighs, use the power of flowers to make your thighs look thinner. Pair a vibrant floral top with a pair of dark pants or a dark skirt to hide a few inches on the hips. The bright floral pattern will pull the eye upward and away from your hips while the dark pants will slim your lower half.
How to wear flowers: Wear flowers to call attention to your best features
If you have a pretty face and want to call attention to it, a floral scarf worn at the neck or a flowered top will draw attention to your face. Is your hair one of your better features? Call attention to that fact by wearing a silk flower hair clip or a floral headband for the spring. If you have perfectly manicured hands, add some pretty floral bracelets or rings with a flower motif to draw the eye towards your hands.
How to wear flowers: Look fresh and modern in a floral print dress
Spring 2008 fashion is about looking fresh and contemporary in your florals. You don't want to look like you're wearing grandma's dress. To make your look more fashionable and even a bit sexy, choose a more form fitting dress or a slightly shorter length. Select a pair of open toed sandals to add additional style. Accessories should be kept small and simple to keep the look from being overwhelming.
As you can see even the most understated dresser can add spring 2008 fashion florals to their wardrobe this season. Don't miss out on this upcoming trend!
