Petals & Paths: Exploring Florals In Fashion

Nothing screams delicate femininity quite like a floral design in fashion. The dainty floral pattern that has recently become a favorite of many resembles that of the vintage design that gained popularity in the late 1970s. Seeing flowers in fabric used for clothing became popular during the “Flower Power” time of the 1960s-1970s. Towards the end of the 70s, florals shrank and became the dainty, romantic floral that we all adore. Florals have stayed prominent in the fashion world for many reasons, there are endless ways to style florals to achieve the desired the look of the wearer.
