How to Wear It - Irish Examiner - April 30th

HOW TO WEAR IT....Florals

Outfit 1
Floral-on-floral is a tricky catwalk trend. Team a subtle ombre print (like this Dries shift dress) with a pair of floral shoes. The distance between the two will strike the right balance.

Dries Van Noten dress, Brown Thomas €880
Beau Coops floral heels, BT2 €235

Outfit 2
Tailoring lends an edge to flirty florals. This button up shirt adds boyish charm to a girlie skater skirt; while the fuchsia platforms inject a pop of summer colour. 

Short sleeve white shirt, Reiss €110
Floral mini skirt, Zara €39.95
Pink suede wedges, Topshop €106

Outfit 3
Preppy does it with these vintage floral print trousers. Their subtlety makes them a great trans-seasonal purchase for ‘soft’ Irish days which don’t always spell ‘garden party’. 

Glasses, Penneys €1.50
Jaeger Boutique lurex sweater, Arnotts €120

Vintage floral print palazzos, Penneys €17
