Florals don’t just have to be limited to summer fashion – in fact, bright florals can be worn whatever the season.
The trick is just pairing them with darker colours and the right accessories.
While we’ve seen understated ditsy prints countless times in years gone by, they’re oversized and graphic in 2021, bringing a whole new sense of fun to the trend.

Slow fashion brand Grey Milk’s poppy florals have been all over our feeds lately, as well as cartoon florals from the sustainable and super stylish brands Paloma Wool and Cinta The Label.
Meanwhile Copenhagen-based designer Stine Goya has made us fall in love with florals all over again, offering a much-needed update on romantic prints.
For those looking to make a statement with their florals, we’ve found some inspiration from a collection of our favourite influencers.
Plus, we’ve scoured the shops to find the prettiest prints out there you can get your hands on right now.
How to wear florals in winter
The general rule is to opt for darker florals in the colder months, and pair with a knee-high boot.
A lot of the prints we’ve picked out below could work well with a dark tight or some medium or dark wash jeans.
Make sure to pair with the right accessory – a beanie or beret could top off the look perfectly.
Now let’s take a look at summer’s biggest floral trends.
When it comes to florals this season, more is more and we love these clashing prints worn by influencer AJ.
