Yes, we're still a little obsessed with floral prints. We love the fresh take on florals that are out there for Spring, and we also love the women who know how to wear them.
When you think of floral prints, you may conjure images of Aunt Bessie in her favorite church dress or grandma's comfy couch. But that's sooooo not what we're talking about. We're hyper-focused on wearing flower-based patterns in a way that cuts through any overly girly connotations - via graphic interpretations of the print, prints based in darker colors, or unexpected pairings.
So go ahead - check out these "flower girls" and get inspired to bring on Spring.....

WHY WE LOVE IT
Black gives an edge to botanical prints, and makes other colors pop - making something cool out of what could otherwise read as frilly.

WHY WE LOVE IT
A floral jacket unto itself may read as mature, but a modern silhouette makes all the difference. And the shoulder detail on the moto jacket and the overall quilting on the other add a little je ne sais quoi that elevates both prints.
