We never tire. Every year, as soon as the fine weather arrives, the floral dress comes back to the fore to brighten up the summer season with its shimmering colors and patterns. And, with her, always more accessories to bring her to create modern and ultra-trendy looks. Because, if it is associated almost exclusively with the bohemian chic style, the flowery dress can also perfectly fit into the framework of a more rock outfit, as long as it is accessorized accordingly. So, how to wear the floral dress with style and elegance, but also a touch of rock? We tell you everything.
There is flower dress and flower dress. In other words, all the dresses, as long as they carry some flowery and colorful patterns are not equal. Indeed, it's all about patterns, but also about cut and morphology.
When it comes to the prints available for the (and stylish!) women's floral dress, two main trends stand out:XXL flower patterns , with huge printed flowers, and the famous “liberty” pattern , made up of very small flowers arranged in numbers on the fabric. If the two are equal to compose a modern and elegant outfit, the 2021 trend remains, today, more centered on colorful and especially XXL patterns. In both cases, it is preferable that the printed flowers are all identical, to bring a certain harmony to the whole, rather than an assortment of several different flowers from each other, which could weigh down the outfit.
But, contrary to what one might think, the choice of patterns is also a matter of morphology . Indeed, if you are rather small and petite, you will therefore prefer large patterns. Conversely, small prints (or reasonably sized, if you are a fan of larger patterns) will suit the roundest silhouettes better. The advantage of the floral dress is that apart from these few details, they really suit all styles, all body types, and all tastes . Especially since the choice, in terms of colors, prints, and materials, is particularly vast.
The floral dress , as we have seen, comes in a wide variety of cuts and lengths. To wear it with style, it is therefore necessary to choose the shape that best suits your morphology. Also, if you are rather tall and slender, maxi-type floral dresses, which reach to the ankles, will look great on you. It is better to avoid them, on the other hand, if you are very small. Small and slender women will in fact be more enhanced in a short floral dress than in a maxi or midi dress, which breaks the leg and flattens the silhouette.
As for the cut, flowery dresses such as empires or trapezoids are perfect for hiding some unsightly curves and marking the waist. In the same way, wrap dresses are ideal for the slimmest body types, insofar as they subtly emphasize the shapes, while shaping the hips. Anyway, there is a rule that should be respected in all circumstances, to wear it with style, romance, and elegance:the summer floral dress is indeed fluid and vaporous. Avoid, therefore, absolutely, tight shapes (such as sheaths, for example).
To be trendy with a floral dress , it is also betting on the right accessories to create the looks of the moment. As such, if we often see the floral dress as the timeless icon of the boho chic style – which is quite right –, you should know that it also allows you to create particularly successful rock outfits.
So, to bring a touch of rock to your little floral dress, opt for a reference from the heavy trend, namely the black leather perfecto. Whether you wear a long, mini or midi dress, the perfecto is simply essential to transform a bohemian look into a most devastating rock look. In mid-season, do not hesitate to also associate it with a pair of high boots or biker boots, also black. Decorate it all with a small black bag decorated with metal studs and/or other rock details, large sunglasses with opaque lenses, but also punk leather jewelry. Who said you can't be a real rocker with a pretty bohemian floral dress?
