How To Wear Florals Over Fifty
Floral prints are one of the biggest trends this season, but how can you wear them to make sure you don’t look frumpy?
Firstly don’t wear small, ditsy or fussy floral prints as these can swamp you and make you look larger and frumpy. These kinds of prints are best left to the young.
Over fifty, you should choose larger floral patterns on darker backgrounds such as black, navy and green. These will help to slim you down and are incredibly flattering. Try to wear prints in similar colours or if you are confident, pick a print with a hot colour like orange or pink to stand out. Soft, watercolour shades also work well.
Be wary when choosing prints, as some can look cheap and trashy. Avoid loud colours on busy backgrounds and never wear two different prints together-again this is something best left to the young.
Dresses should be teemed with a lightweight cardigan or jacket so that the print is broken up and doesn’t swamp your frame. If a floral dress sounds a bit much for you, try a floral scarf, top or bag. Pair them with minimal colours and keep your outfit reasonably simple to ensure your floral piece stands out.
By mastering floral prints, you can look classy season after season as florals never go out of women’s fashion.
