Floral and spring goes hand in hand right...???

Many people (including me) associate floral patterns with spring. Although it’s not wrong, it’s not something that has to be worn only when flowers are blooming everywhere. In fact, one of the fall trends for this year are floral patterns...on shoes, dresses, skits, etc,.
Floral patterns can be found in different forms and shapes. Many people find it tempting to buy patterns that are appealing to their eyes but doing so has its own consequences!
Here are some tips I found from eHow: there are four things to consider before going for floral patterns – proportion, color, fabric and cut. If one of those four things goes wrong, then…don’t even bother to step outside your house!
Proportion is just as important to a petite person like it is to a giant-like figure. Wearing huge flowers can make a small person even look smaller. The key is to wear smaller soft patterns to make you look taller. Bigger-bodied people are to do the same only this time its to make them look thinner their original figure. Heavy floral patterns should not be worn to hide the extra body fat as it highlights it more.
Color is another important factor. The rule of thumb to use when going for floral is choosing shades that already exist in your closet. This eliminates feeling overwhelmed when looking at the dress. Also, try and to have a good contrast between the floral pattern and the accompanying accessories.
Choosing a fabric can be a big hassle! But it’s important to pay careful attention to the fabric while choosing floral because certain fabrics can make you seem fatter than you are in real life. It’s important to go for lighter materials as they will flatter your figure. Keep in mind that you should avoid thick sweaters no matter how pretty the pattern is!
Choosing the right cut should be followed for all clothing and like others is it especially important for a floral. This is what you should according to eHow to choose the right cut – “As with any article of clothing, make sure that the cut is flattering. Fabric should neither skim too closely to the body nor fall too far from it. Find a becoming intermediate so that the garment doesn’t wrinkle, pucker, or bag in an unappealing manner.”
With these in mind you should be able to find good outfit. Floral’s are worth the time. For more tips check out BeyondJane.com.
