Floral print looks great on any summer dress. It is chic and trendy. But how about making it trendy in winters as well?
Yes, why not?! With the correct cut and a well-defined floral print, your floral dress worn in winter would definitely be a head-turner. Why then, do you have to stick with the dull non-vibrant prints and colors in winters?
Florals are in fact playful and colorful motifs that can add charm to any style. They can brighten your winter wardrobe by adding a splurge of color to your outfit. Of course in winters, layering is the key. While a floral dress looks best in summers with its minimum accessories, in winters pairing it with layers such as a chunky knit or a pullover will make it look classy as well as comfortable.
That is why we have come up with a few tips for you on how to wear a floral dress in winters:
1. Layering
How about layering a midi-dress over a tonal rollneck? It not only looks chic but also will give you a young sexy look. Try to use a statement belt that cinches at the waist. Knee-high boots would give you heightened slender look and also help you to keep yourself warm. Make sure to accessorize yourself with a sling bag or a tote and some chunky beads to give yourself look a polished look.
Alternatively, you could wear a pullover over your floral dress to make it look like a pleated skirt. Pair it well with a knitted scarf and a knee-high or ankle-length boots.
Remember that when you are layering, you need to keep your pullover or the rollneck of neutral color. Too much floral print on every piece of clothes or accessories looks extremely distracting and disorienting.
Layers are a smart way to keep yourself warm as well as to give you that warm wintery look. Paired with some well-fitted tights, the whole ensemble would definitely help you to be outstanding amongst the other common winter outfits. Add different textures into the mix such as chunky wool cardigans, corduroy blazers, lace tights and so forth. This will create a wonderful visual aspect.
