Spot The Trend: Vibrant Florals
Embrace retro charm …
Florals this summer are tropical and bold with a Palm Beach feel: think almost-clashing blue, green and aquamarine botanical prints that blend preppy, tropical and vintage influences. At Chloé, turquoise tones were paired with vibrant leafy and acid greens, echoing the sun-soaked glamour of Florida’s coast and the legacy of design legends like American designer and 1950s socialite Lilly Pulitzer – aka the “Palm Beach Queen of Prep”. The mood is polished but playful, with a clear nod to vintage 1960s florals. Try maxi dresses, matching sets and statement accessories, as well as soft furnishings for the home. Beach house not required!
