Are floral prints fashionable?
Yes! Floral prints are one of the most popular patterns in fashion, and have been for centuries. Florals can be seen in every period in history, which is why they make a truly timeless blouse design that will never go out of style.
Nowadays, we have the advantage of modern technology, new printing techniques and manufacturing processes that allow fabrics to be printed quicker and easier than ever before - and this also enables the introduction of more complex designs.
By the Industrial Revolution, floral prints became a mainstream fashion trend in England, and these popular patterns have continued in fashion since. While the “Flower Power” fashion movement in the 1960s saw a trend of floral prints with bright, vibrant colours and bold patterns, today's fashion trend comprises a varied mix with the addition of subtle, delicate floral motifs as well.
Types of floral blouses

How to style a floral blouse
Florals are a seasonal staple and a crucial element for spring summer wardrobes, but they also play a key role in the cooler months, too.
The feminine flower patterns are suitable for all ages and work well with almost any outfit combination. Floral print blouses can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion, and whether you want to create a casual or formal look.
Floral blouses are incredibly versatile as they come in many different styles which can be worn with almost any type of clothing to give you plenty of options to work with.
With bright and cheerful colours and stunning floral prints to choose from, these ladies’ blouses are pure expression of femininity and classic style, ideal for adding a splash of colour and style to your outfits.
Floral blouses are so easy to wear and can create all sorts of outfits.
When wearing a floral top with trousers or skirts, try keeping the rest of your outfit more simple to focus attention on the blouse by opting for plain, solid colours on the bottom half.
Women can never go wrong with classic straight leg trousers in black or navy for a smart-casual impression, but feel free to play around with similar or complementary colours for something a bit more adventurous. A-line skirts and straight skirts are also wonderful contenders that can be worn from season to season.
Alternatively, you can create a coordinated two-piece outfit by pairing your floral blouse with a skirt or trousers in a matching floral print for an eye-catching look.
Throw on a cardigan in the same colour as the base colour of your blouse to complement your outfit, or wear a neutral coloured jacket or coat over the top for an extra layer of warmth.

Floral blouses for Autumn Winter
Floral blouses aren't just for spring and summer months; these timeless prints can be worn all year round!
Warm, rich, earthy colours are what this season calls for. When choosing a floral blouse for autumn and winter, look for seasonal colours such as ivory, olive and hunter greens, coffee and caramel browns, crimson and burgundy reds, mauve and plum purples, and golden yellows. Navy has also been a trending autumnal colour which is not to be missed.
Long sleeved floral blouses are perfect for keeping you that little bit extra warm on autumn or winter evenings when it gets colder outside. Classic collared blouses will look stunning with a crew neck or v neck sweater layered over the top, try styling the collar untucked for a chic look.
Blouse and trouser outfits are popular for this time of year, but you can still wear your floral blouse with a skirt during these seasons - just wear a pair of tights and throw on a coat or jacket for extra warmth. Don't forget to accessorise with a coordinating scarf, too!
