Meteorologists can’t seem to agree on whether we are set for a summer heat wave but as spring warms up, and with Chelsea In Bloom and the Chelsea Flower Show coming up, one thing is certain: there’s no prettier way to welcome the new season than in something flirty and feminine, covered in flowers.
Of course, florals never go out of style. And so, every season designers offer up new iterations, different blooms, fresh takes on how to wear them. For spring/summer 2019, Emilia Wickstead’s charming wallpaper florals come in a matching skirt and blouse ensemble, to make a statement when worn ensemble but with the flexibility of separates, while Giambattista Valli offered up ultra-feminine, full-length options with lots of flounce.
At Prada, petals were portrayed through shiny sequins; Miu Miu imbued them with a graphic treatment; and Zimmermann embraced the season’s romantic prairie mood in washed-out tones.
However you want to bloom this spring, here is our edit of the best floral buys on and around Sloane Street.
