How to Style Floral Prints for Winter
Floral Prints are Dramatic
Floral prints were not worn in the winter years ago. However, like other fashion rules that have been challenged in today’s world, wearing them in the winter is very modern. Floral prints are dramatic, chic and can spice up a winter look when styled properly. Floral prints in heavier fabrics such as velvets, wools, and leathers are great in cooler weather. When considering floral prints size is important. Smaller and medium-size prints work for most women. Not only are they easier to wear they are great when layering with leggings, tights, and sweaters in the winter months. You can mix different textures when styling dark floral prints for an edgy look.
