STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Flower Power

The struggle of finding balance between comfort and style is always a battle during the warm months. Most days, you just want to throw on a pair of cut-off shorts and go, but your fashion side can’t just let something that simple happen. A great alternative to a simple pair of shorts would be wearing something similar to these light pants. This Fashionista wore a classic white T-shirt with floral printed pants and flip flops. The fabric of these pants are similar to satin; therefore, it is lightweight and breezy, which is ideal to combat the heat. The floral print is feminine and not too overwhelming, which is ultimately the key to wearing prints in a laid back way.

The main thing that drew my attention to this Fashionista were the flowers on her pants. They made me wonder if they were inspired by an Oriental-themed collection. The flowers stand out because they are different from the usual floral pants found in boutiques now. The placement of the flowers is almost strategic. They are arranged near the seams as if to slender and elongate the legs. The pants themselves, then, became flattering on her figure as well. The tapered leg has become very popular, as well as the softness of the material. Another way this Fashionista was able to tie everything together was by the colors in her pants, which were reflected in the shades of her sandals and her glasses.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Even though my outfit is pretty plain, my pants save it by giving everything a pretty pop of color. I was always iffy about wearing print pants, but if you tone down the rest of your outfit, it works.”
