Please brace yourself. Word on the street is that the flowers are starting to bloom this spring. Give yourself time to recover from the floor before continuing.
I was initially shocked when @databutmakeitfashion revealed a lack of data showing that the popularity of floral prints had decreased by 15% in the last month. Are florals as important to your spring wardrobe as sandals are to your summer wardrobe? At least, that's what I've been led to believe.
There's no denying that the first weeks of spring fill our wardrobes with new-found energy and a desire to wear items that bring us joy that were put away during the winter, but this process usually involves flowers. The pattern is featured prominently. I wouldn't go so far as to say that floral patterns are trending, but it is understandable that floral patterns will not be as prevalent in 2024 as they were in previous springs. Like all fashion items, the popularity of floral prints waxes and wanes, and while florals may not decline as much as other trends, they don't always rise.
To fill in the floral void, we've found four key prints that are definitely turning heads right now. Playful, fun, and vibrant like any other floral print, these motifs provide a fresh pattern for the spring season.
Scroll through to see four trending prints that are doing their best to give florals a run for their money this spring as they're being embraced by the fashion crowd and trickling down to the high street.
