Flourishing Fashion For This Spring

When Miranda Priestly unenthusiastically quipped, “Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking,” she wasn’t wrong, but also wasn’t being entirely fair. While florals can be monotonous, seemingly running together and leaving us to reinvent the wheel of our dressing decisions, they can also provide an exciting source of inspiration and self-expression — even if the concept isn’t new. Seek a nuanced pattern that requires the eye to linger and the imagination to activate, or perhaps a silhouette with expressive shoulders paralleling a bouquet of freshly plucked marigolds. Maybe you dress intentionally this month and wear one of these looks to the Myriad Botanical Gardens’ 3rd annual Tulip Festival. Like the cycle of the seasons, floral fashion always returns, proving our connection to the inherent beauty that nature blooms.
