Top New Old-School Florals: Out of the Garden

What goes around comes around, and if the latest crop of florals is any indication, Laura Ashley has come back around. When I first laid eyes on Prada’s Prada’s newest garden-party print, I wasn’t sold – and I’m still not – but since then, it’s become clear that hyper-feminine, seriously romantic floral prints are making a comeback. I’ve selected an eclectic bouquet array to prove it. So what’s your take on these blossoms in bloom?

1. Prada Tessuto Stampato Floral Backpack: In a blue backpack version, this almost-tacky print feels cheeky, so with the right styling, this one could work in your favor. Available for pre-order at Bergdorf Goodman for $950 (expect shipping by April 7th).

2. Étoile Isabel Marant Wilford Floral-Print Cotton-Gauze Tapered Pants: I’m a big fan of print pants, and there’s something about this softly exuberant, tropical-tinged pattern that really works. On NET-A-PORTER for $255.

3. Erdem Joyce Short-Sleeve Floral Sheath Dress: Consider this the perfect dress for attending a spring wedding. The fitted, grown-up cut counters the sweet pattern perfectly. At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,395.

4. Manolo Blahnik Chaos Floral-Print Sandal: A sexy, skin-baring silhouette featuring a 4” heel serves as the ideal juxtaposition for an innocent flower motif. With an all-black look, these sandals will feel surprisingly edgy. At Bergdorf Goodman for $745.

5. Tabitha Simmons Jenny Crisscross Floral Wedge: On the flipside, you can keep things light with a hefty espadrille wedge. Save these for spring, as this natural weave is appropriate only for balmy temperatures. At Bergdorf Goodman for $495.
