As temperatures drop and the snow starts to fall, it may not make quite as much sense to style florals with your winter wardrobe. However, just because flowers don’t grow during the winter doesn’t mean you should be afraid to feature them in your winter wardrobe.
You don’t have to hang up your favorite floral pieces just because the seasons are changing. With a little bit of inspiration, we’ll show you here how you can transition your beautiful blooms into any season!
Dark Florals
When most people think of dressing for the winter, we think of darker tones like black, navy blue, and dark grey. But this doesn’t mean you can’t also feature floral prints.
When you style florals for the winter, pay special attention to darker prints. A dark base will allow the brighter floral colors to stand out while still effortlessly blending with the rest of your winter wardrobe.
Layer Up!
You obviously still want to stay warm once the temperatures start to fall. You can make your florals look even more weather-appropriate by adding some warm layers, like a leather jacket or sweater, boots, a scarf, or long pants. Don’t be afraid to get creative!
Remember, you don’t want to send mixed signals. If it’s starting to get chilly outside, your outfit should reflect that. Don’t try style florals for winter the same way you would for spring – cold-weather accessories are your friend.
Tone It Down or Keep It Bright!
The great thing about fashion is that you get to decide how far you want to stray outside of your comfort zone. If you start feeling like florals are a bit too out there, pair them with your favorite wardrobe staples to tone it down a bit. This will help boost your fashion confidence.
However, if you love to stand out and be bold, you can also opt to keep it bright! Floral prints with jewel tones can be especially lovely for winter when paired with other neutral colors or complementary tones.
Pick Your Styles Carefully
You get to choose exactly how you want to style your florals so make your choices wisely. Your fabric and cut will make a huge difference. Floaty fabrics like cotton, chiffon, and linen might be great for spring and summer, but they might not make sense in the winter months.
Instead, opt for heavier, richer fabrics like satin, cashmere, or velvet burnout. The cut can also make a big difference – try longer length dresses, structured collars, and long-sleeves to help keep you warm.
Don’t Be Afraid to Make Your Winter Bright!
Fashion is all about having fun and expressing yourself. If you want to wear bright colors during the winter, there are no rules saying you shouldn’t. If being bold and colorful makes you feel most yourself, go for it!
Hopefully, now you have some ideas of how to make your favorite florals feel weather-appropriate all year long.
