So I’m not going to bitch about the annoying predictability of ‘florals are new for spring!’ (like, when are they not?), instead I’ve picked up on an agreeable micro-trend – masculine florals. This gives florals a whole new slant. I just could not wear a traditional floaty floral tea dress, however much I like stroking them in vintage shops or picture them styled with brothel creepers and a scuffed-up studded denim jacket. But the pastoral print imagined on a boyish blazer, trouser suit, Dr Martens or skinny jeans? Now that’s a different story. (On a side note it’s good to see Dr Martens getting it right after those nasty high-heeled horrors they tried to trick us into last year.)

I love flowery Docs – I’ve been longing for a pair since I was about 14…maybe this summer then!
I struggle with florals – I’m always looking for the perfect pattern and yet i never find…
But…but…I LOVE high-heeled Docs!
That model looks amazing in her floral trews. Is that ASOS?
Winnie, yes it is ASos, have credited pics now
Love that suit!
And I saw a handsome chap wearing Liberty Dunks in Soho last spring. I never have shoes as art pieces, but I’d love to have a pair of these behind glass–simply too pretty to wear (and not my style to boot!).
This sounds like a fun trend! However, I will fall for florals anywhere, any how…
yes, dr martens boots are back. sadly i cant find mine. i cant believe i missplaced tham somewhere. masculine florals? nice expresion.
those nike blazers are needed in my lifeee! i remeber the ones last year and i never got them like a loser..i will not miss them this year! The blue one it is!
those shoes bring me back and make me smile! my sister had a tiny pair when she was about 8, she used to stomp about in them looking so cool!
Aaaaahhh those flowery Docs are amazing! As is the lovely Queen Michelle!
I love love love my high heeled docs but I also love the flowery ones, if I got them I would have 3 pairs of Dr Martens in my collection. Extreme maybe?! I got the liberty print Nike’s in NYC last year and they continue to make me smile:) Great post x
I’ve never been that keen on florals but recently other fashion bloggers – including KoS – have been making me more open to the idea. Selina at Flying Saucer got a floral jumpsuit recently and it looks really good with some DM boots, something I would NEVER have considered doing.
Those floral Gucci’s are pretty tempting, though I’m always weary of white shoes; they never stay white for long in London!
when are the liberty print nikes meant to be released? I cant find a good link anywhere!
Thank you! xx
