Wearing floral patterns will give you a youthful, bohemian chic look that is elegant and appropriate for the heat. Does this Spark an idea?

Commit to a size of floral print. Floral prints come in many different sizes, from large flowers placed on the hemline of a dress to small, dainty floral prints that cover an entire garment. If you're going to wear floral prints, choose a size of print that matches your personality and style. For example, if you have a larger-than-life sense of style, go for a larger print that exemplifies this.

Wear one floral piece at a time so you don't look tacky or cluttered. When it comes to floral, less is more. If you are going to pair two floral pieces together, make sure you are spacing them apart---so if you're going to wear a floral top, pair it similarly printed floral shoes.

Match plain colored items with the background color in your floral print. If you have a floral top with a dark navy background, pair it with dark jeans, black leggings or other dark pieces. Likewise, if you have a light floral printed garment, pair it with lighter colored items.

Avoid mixing any other patterns when wearing floral prints. Floral pieces look best when matched with solid colors. Adding other printed items like stripes or paisley will make your look cluttered.

Accessorize with floral rings, floral patterned headbands or similar floral printed objects. If you are unsure about wearing a floral top or dress, go small with floral accessories. Floral accessories are dainty and feminine and can accentuate almost any outfit.
