If this summer you have the feeling that floral dresses are everywhere - at weddings, on the beach, in the street - you're not wrong. The floral print is once again among the strongest fashion trends, and this time it's carried by a wave of return to maximalism.

Stylists explain that floral motifs never quite went away - they're a „microtrend“ that comes back around in a circle. The origin is interesting: in the 17th and 18th centuries, wearing flowers on your clothes meant status, since floral motifs called for expensive fabrics - brocades, embroidered silk. Today the same print is democratized, but it has kept something of that opulence.

The key, stylists say, is in the balance. When a dress is rich with flowers, everything else calms down - accessories in neutral tones, beige, earthy shades, so the print can breathe and dominate. The opposite - a floral dress loaded with more jewelry and colorful accessories - quickly crosses from elegant to overloaded.

For footwear, the choice is practical and beautiful at the same time: flat sandals or platform espadrilles. They keep the whole combination casual and suitable both for a wedding and for travel - a piece that works in more than one place, which is exactly what a summer wardrobe asks for.

What makes this trend accessible is that it doesn't need an expensive name to work. A floral dress with a good cut and the right accessories looks thoughtful no matter where it comes from. And that's perhaps the loveliest thing about the floral print - it's as old as fashion itself, and yet every summer it looks new.
