    Let the fresh looks and scents of summer’s finest florals uplift your new-season wardrobe

    This is a Marie Claire Advertorial

    Stand out from the crowd this summer and master statement florals, complemented by the delicious scents of your favourite blooms. From daring cutaway dresses and flattering jumpsuits to pretty separates and special occasion dresses, you’ll find flowers and foliage are everywhere – just take your pick…

    Fresh garden style English cottage gardens are always in style, and a gorgeous riot of blooms in the vivid reds and oranges of poppies and nasturtiums will look stunning set against an edgy black background. If you’re more of a traditionalist, opt for floral prints in softer blues, muted lilacs and blush pinks to channel your inner English rose.

    Totally tropical The tropical trend is still storming through our fashion-forward picks, and you’ll find bright, leafy prints everywhere this summer. As well as jungle-inspired leaves and flowers, look out for the brilliant colours of forest birds, and fun prints inspired by tropical fruits like pineapples – perfect for lifting your mood.
