Petal Power: Go for bold floral patterns this summer as seen on celebrities such as Cate Blanchett and Anna Wintour 

  • Predictable, pretty prints have been put to one side this season
  • Look for Gucci-inspired separates with intricate embroidered detailing
  • Don’t be afraid to clash prints either, just pick one main colour 

Nothing says summer like the arrival of florals in High Street stores. But put the predictable, pretty prints to one side - blooms have had a makeover and there’s no space for shrinking violets.

Look for Gucci-inspired separates with intricate embroidered detailing, or Calvin Klein-esque abstract prints on a range of delicate fabrics.

Don’t be afraid to clash prints either, just pick one main colour that ties the outfit together and you can be sure you’ll look blooming marvellous . . .
