New Blooms

Unlike that iconic Miranda Priestly phrase "Florals for spring? Groundbreaking," the print actually feels fresh again for 2018. Because spring wouldn’t be spring without a sea of florals. And this season doesn’t disappoint, especially when paired alongside
equally of-the-moment pastels allowing you to dip into two trends at once. Our advice for this season's round of blooms? Swap the expected prairie pieces for things that err on the side of modern. This year is all about taking the femme out of florals and giving them a distinctly contemporary vibe with edgy accessories, unique cuts, and plenty of patchwork. Needless to say, these are not your grandma's florals.

Look to Zimmermann for reference (the spring collection was full of ultraviolet floral prints that took on a cooler aesthetic courtesy of angular dresses. There’s also a whole host of sheer loveliness to choose from when it comes to the breezy summer dress—pop yours over a high-necked blouse and shorts, à la Emilia Wickstead.
