Nail the individualist look with this season's botanical trend.
With the SS16 catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Paris all about individualism, this season's bold floral and leaf graphics are a gift. A statement print is an easy way to nail the individualist look. Go for old-school vintage whimsy, muted tones or extrovert pieces that show you're not all about playing it safe.
Double up your florals if you dare with clashing patterns. Search out skirts, trousers and tops with contrasting floral panels or vibrant all-over designs.
In search of floral patterns you can wear to the max throughout spring/summer, we've rounded up six of the most useful and gorgeous botanical pieces.
