Flower power

Just because it’s snowing and chilly out, doesn’t mean your outfit has to reflect the weather. Channel spring by bringing blooms to your apparel. Floral print clothing is everywhere, and the gorgeous trend adds a feminine touch to any moment. Stores like Forever 21, Love Culture and H&M are stocking up on this earthy fashion trend.

Black and white floral is a great choice, because it is very classic and versatile. The neutral colors in this top from Forever 21 work great under a vibrantly colored cardigan and worn with a pair of leggings.

White tops with a colorful floral print are great. Pale materials make vibrant flowers really stand out, creating a bold and springy look to liven up a dreary winter day. Wear a top like this with a cardigan and pair of skinny jeans for a cutely casual ensemble.

A dress with a large floral print is cute, feminine and flirty. The vintage look of this dress is gorgeous and fabulous. Wear it with dark tights, combat boots and a blazer for a night out, or dress it up with a cardigan.

Smaller floral prints, like this one, are more subtle, while still embracing the trend in a big way. This dress also takes on a peplum look, which accentuates the figure and adds shape to a look.

Feeling bold? Wear a neon-colored floral-print dress to stand out in the crowd– this style makes the pattern look even more vibrant.

If floral print feels too girly or dressy, adding a more casual over shirt, like this jean jacket, tones down the ensemble and makes it more wearable for the everyday. A denim jacket is a wardrobe staple, and can be worn with many looks, so you’ll get your money’s worth investing in a cute one.

Want to look super girly? Go for pastels. This mint green floral-print top goes perfectly under a solid color bubble-gum pink cardigan, to brighten up your complexion in style.

Switch out the look  by wearing this print over shirt with a solid underneath, like with this hippie-style and flower power cozy ensemble, which is great for lounging around the house or going out to the store.

What to accentuate your booty? Wear a solid shirt and floral skirt to create an hourglass figure. This one from Forever 21 is pretty and girly, and would look very cute with a dark pair of lacy tights. With so many ways to wear floral this season, there’s no reason not to brighten up the winter with brightly patterned clothing.
