There are few things as summery as a good, brightly-colored floral print. While a lot of girls wear them paired with sweet little cardigans for garden parties, I say why not play around with unexpected combos? An A-line skirt that hits around your knee is probably the most versatile (this one is a great option and pretty darn affordable.) How will you be wearing your floral skirt this summer? Why not try one of these five suggestions?
Simple: Pair your skirt with a white button down to balance the overt girliness of it.You can tuck the shirt in and leave a few buttons undone so the look is effortless yet polished. Add some nude pumps and wear this ensemble out to all outdoor parties this summer.
Edgy: A great way to balance a super feminine skirt? By pairing it with a leather jack, some combat boots and maybe even a felt hat.
Trendy: The floral-on-stripes trend is super huge right now and even if you don’t own a piece that combines both of these prints, you can still let the trend inspire you. Top your skirt off with a plain striped tee for a daring print-matching look.
Boho: Add a white eyelet tank top (don’t bother tucking it in – the layered look is what makes this so boho-chic) and some nude ankle booties. You can top it all off with a long cardigan and add a head wrap for a cute festival look.
Tomboyish: Add a printed tee (something like this would be so cute), some cute slip-on sneakers and a baseball cap for a sporty but still feminine look. Wear this to an outdoor picnic or baseball game.
