Fall 2008 Fashion Trend–Floral Dress
September 19th, 2008 by crystal
Floral prints are surprisingly big this fall. Typically a spring trend, florals brightened up the Fall 2008 runway collections. Designers like Rebecca Taylor and Michael Kors incorporated bright, large floral prints into their shows. It’s fun to see a bright floral print paired with a heavy coat, a sweater, or even tights. Floral blouses, dresses, scarves and accessories are all a go this season. You can go all out and wear a dress muted down with tights, booties and a chunky knit. Or, you can add a floral scarf or necklace to a neutral colored outfit. Either approach works.
My favorite way to wear this trend is the all out variety. I love the floral dress. It’s very classic, feminine, and playful. I also like the brightness it adds to what can be a very drab winter wardrobe. I’m particularly fond of the Michael Kors purple florals. Picturing that dress with purple heels…
Here is some runway inspiration followed by affordable floral dresses.
