Just as there are colors that we associate with certain seasons, there are also objects we relate to them. When it comes to dressing for nice weather, we tend to think of elements from nature. This is precisely what the major fashion companies did when they put out designs with the happy prints that will make up our most refreshing outfits this summer.
For this summer, Paco Rabanne, Stella McCartney, and Elie Saab, among others, confirmed that the traditional summer floral print will be back on-trend this summer, but a special flower will be featured: daisies. Set over a black background, this delicate flower originally from Europe is going to be taking over your outfits, combining femininity and elegance. The proof is in this list!
From country to city
On the Paco Rabanne runway, long dresses with a country air were seen, and their daisy prints were taken to the max in his maxi dresses. To round off these looks, remember to use a belt to define your waist.
A touch of something new
Stella McCartney also put daisies on her long summer dresses, though with a much more bohemian vibe. She paired them with fabric bags and sneakers for chic comfort.
Linear pattern
Staying true to his style, Elie Saab showed daisy prints harmoniously arranged against a black background to stand out even more.
Given everything seen on these runways, regardless of their size, daisies will clearly be the center of attention in this summer’s looks. So, here are a few options for you to wear this trend as temperatures rise:
Dancing in the meadow
Lean into a Sophia Loren style with the Daisy Print Maxi Dress including puffy sleeves, a flowing silhouette, and a full skirt. It’s a midi dress that emulates the amazing looks seen on the runway. Forever 21 ($29.99).
The mini version
If you prefer dresses in this evocative style, the Daisy Print Dress has all the on-trend characteristics, but will keep you even cooler with its shorter skirt. Zara ($39.90).
Shape defining
One simple way to accentuate your curves—as used by celebrities like Kim Kardashian—is wearing dresses with strategically placed ruching. Try the Madsen Ruched Long Sleeve Midi Dress by AFRM, which also has a sensual slit at the front of the skirt. Nordstrom ($31.60).
So flirty!
Another mini dress with draping is the Rumor Ruched Dress by Superdown, which also offers adjustable off-the-shoulder sleeves to create the always seductive and flattering bardot neckline. Revolve ($78).
Fits like a glove
Another body-hugging option to accentuate your assets is the Delora Fitted Mock Neck Dress by Alice + Olivia. Pair it with a blazer and wear it to work. Shopbop ($198).
Gracefully blossoming
Michael Kors is another major brand to use daisies in its dresses this season. With ruching throughout and an asymmetrical neckline and skirt, the Daisy Silk Crepe De Chine Ruched Asymmetric Dress is the perfect dress to stylize your figure. Michael Kors ($537).
Between petals
Though simpler than the others, the Daisy Print Drawstring Dress by Au Jour Le Jour maintains the vivacity of the daisy print… Even more so with the ruffle embellishments on the skirt! Century 21 ($179.99).
Wear daisies on your summer dresses and pair them with white or black garments to match or contrast with bright colors. You’re sure to be noticed either way!
