All the Different Ways to Wear Your Springtime Floral Skirt

Edward Berthelot

This summer, we're donning floral skirts of all kinds, whether it's delicate patterns reminiscent of your grandmother's wallpaper; bold florals; brocade prints; or abstract designs. You can wear a different flower pattern every day of the week. Not a girly girl? Structured silhouettes like a blazer and modern accessories like combat boots will help offset a feminine-leaning ensemble. Meanwhile, for women who prefer that classic touch, you can add a pair of pearls to dress up your floral skirts. Warmer temps mean floral skirts are here in full bloom, so start gathering your outfit inspo with the looks below. Once we're out of this lockdown/social-distancing situation, you'll have a floral skirt outfit ready to celebrate.
