Spring is officially in Macau and what other way to welcome the season of blooms than to have them with bold prints on dresses, tops, trousers, bags, footwear, accessories and everything else imaginable. Loud and colorful retro prints collide with a dainty rose-patterned blouse for a season where anything goes just as long as it’s floral. Whether you are planning to stand out or your closet needs the long overdue update it needs, this is the perfect time to grab that floral dress (or any other floral fashion item) on the rack. Embrace the floral trend and inject a little color and whimsy in our daily lives.
After top designers began incorporating floral themes into their collections as seen on recent fashion runways, men and women alike have been adopting the trend and making it their own. From big, bursting blooms and smaller, daintier prints to three-dimensional details, it’s clear that there are many ways to incorporate flowers into clothing and accessories. The vibrancy and playfulness of florals make these prints ideal for spring and summer style. As more designers take on the trend, it’s becoming clear that these prints are more versatile than one would think.
