April Showers Bring May Flowers: Fabulous Floral Fashion this Spring

Put your umbrellas away because the sun is finally shining bright and the flowers are blooming. Here’s how to flaunt the finest floral fashion in spring 2022.

Let’s start with big flower pattern designs that will make you stand out from the bunch. With puffed sleeves, pastels and cut-outs, this For Love & Lemons Mya Mini Dress is one pick for spring. Wear it to a darty or brunch with friends. Another fun floral choice is this super cute Abercrombie Tie-Strap Trapeze Mini Dress and the Abercrombie & Fitch website has fantastic style tips and suggestions on how to accessorize like adding a jean jacket or straw hat. Want to dress more casually for those breezy early morning classes? Dig these groovy hand painted pants from UO that go together with a bright fuschia or baby blue top.

Tiny flowers are budding back in style this season. Betsey Johnson’s Rosy Dots Mini Dress Black could be dressed up or down with pink heels or sandals. Princess Polly Nakita Mini Dress Pink Floral is taking the vintage world by storm with elegant cutouts and a bow tied in front to finish the look. Finally, the Reformation Blanca Top in a garden green hue tucked into white, black, or blue jeans for a night out or a white ruffle skirt during the day. Don’t forget to wear flowers on your feet! Betsey Johnson Alanni Yellow Multi jelly shoes are an awesome pop of color to add to any outfit: dresses or jeans. 

Daisies are a symbol of simplicity and joy and wearing them is an excellent reminder, especially with the end of the school year’s busy schedule. Aritzia's Wilfred, Atone Linen Skirt has more muted colors; the midi linen skirt keeps it light and airy. Longer skirts are making a comeback in the fashion world paired with a bodysuit as shown below or a ruffle crop top to match the flow on the bottom. Additionally, the LoveShackFancy Aqua Halter Mini Dress is a staple to keep around in your closet for any event this spring or summer with its flattering neckline and waistband. Lastly, the Urban Outfitters Flower Banana Clip is a great take on the famous claw clip that secures your hair on the most humid of days at Elon.
