Everyone knows the snarky Miranda Priestly quote in The Devil Wears Prada: “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” But hear us out — this season the pattern was given a fresh spin thanks to Loewe, Brandon Maxwell, Erdem, Carolina Herrera, Markarian and Dior. Each brand sent blooming interpretations of the spring staple down the runway, so why not lean into the warmer weather and flaunt some new favorite florals? Below are some springtime outfits that are far from basic proving that florals for spring can be quite fresh.

 

Miu Miu dress, $2,600, modaoperandi.com; Van Cleef & Arpels Magic Alhambra earrings, $16,400, Vintage Alhambra bracelet, $14,500, Charms watch, $21,400, vancleefarpels.com; Khaite boots, $1,240, khaite.com; Gucci bag, $6,900, gucci.com; Saint Laurent sunglasses, $560, ysl.com.

There’s nothing sweeter than a floral dress, so it never hurts to add some edge. Toughen up the girly piece with some combat boots and a leather bag with chunky hardware.

Markarian jacket, $8,795, short, $4,795, Markarian-nyc.com; Van Cleef & Arpels Vintage Alhambra earrings, $5,400, Sweet Alhambra watch, $8,850, vancleefarpels.com; Manolo Blahnik sandals, $975, luisaviaroma.com; Savette bag, $2,750, bergdorfgoodman.com.

For all my non-basic brides out there, this Markarian short suit is calling your name. Perfect for a garden bridal shower or engagement party. Lean into the colors and highlight the pops of red with your accessories.

Magda Butrym top, $1,190, modaoperandi.com; Ambush pants, $715, brownsfashion.com; Van Cleef & Arpels Bouton d’or earrings, $29,100, Perlée couleurs ring, $7,700, vancleefarpels.com; Blumarine pumps, $626, mytheresa.com; Bottega Veneta bag, $3,100, bottegaveneta.com; Moscot sunglasses, $380, moscot.com.

Florals don’t always have to be sweet, they can also be sexy. Instead of taking the trend so literally and opting for a flower print, try pieces like this top which features a 3-D flower type embellishment that pair well with these patent leather pumps.

Paco Rabanne top, $850, luisaviaroma.com; Tibi skirt, $475, tibi.com; Khaite belt, $380, bag, $1,800, khaite.com; Van Cleef & Arpels Sweet Alhambra earstuds, $2,450, Perlée clovers bracelet, $28,000, Perlée pearls of gold bracelet, $4,850, vancleefarpels.com; Ganni boots, $725, ganni.com.

This is another way to add some flowers into your spring wardrobe without the standard floral dress. This floral bustier paired with a dark wash denim midi feels sleek and cool. Add a pair of cowboy boots to tie it all together.
