The floral blouse is an elegant choice in any kind of weather. But a fall floral blouse in particular has been on the rise, thanks to designs seen on the runway and in street style around the world. This season, the power of a floral print is being shown in a variety of styles, from draped tops to classic button-downs to cape-style designs with lots of movement.
As for the prints themselves, we’re seeing lots of tiny flowers—some more delicate, others abstract—as well as patterns that go beyond the usual romantic associations with florals. They’re also turning into a seasonal staple with color combinations that evoke the autumnal mood. Best of all, they’re incredibly versatile and easy to pair with most jeans, pants, and skirts in your closet. Dressing like a fashion pro has never been easier.
Floral blouses have always had a feminine and timeless air that makes them a wardrobe staple. The print, no matter the iteration, rarely goes out of style. However, what does change are the silhouettes, colors, and various details that each season brings. The following designs are what’s currently taking the fashion world by storm; use this as an inspiration guide for the months ahead.
The floral “granny blouse”
Let’s start with the trendiest: granny-style shirts. With their dusty color palettes and retro shapes, these floral print shirts look most elegant when paired with straight-leg jeans or trousers. We’d then pair the look with strappy sandals or pointed-toe shoes for an outfit that’s a total hit no matter what the plans include.
