Floral print - drawing on fabric from floral and floral motifs. Globally, all floral prints are divided into large and small, but there are many other gradations. For example, according to the type of drawing, it can be a gentle pastoral, a bright tropical print, a colorful print that combines several contrasting shades, or a simple two-color, active print, filled with movement, intentionally striking, or calm, with a predominance of classic images, and etc. When choosing fabric with a print for a particular model, first of all focus on your feelings and taste - in today's fashion almost everything is possible, the main thing is to be able to wear it. However, there are classic rules.
1. Four main options for wearing a floral print:
- full-body: the main emphasis is on a dress or a set of fabric with a print, accessories are neutral;

- print block: blocks of fabric with print are combined with plain things;

- print on print: a combination of things with different prints in the same image (both with different floral prints, for example, stripes or peas with a floral print);

- emphasis: the use of floral print in accessories (bag, scarf, shoes), the rest of the image from plain things.

2. A large floral print is usually self-sufficient - it is good to use it as an accent or in full-body images.

3. A small floral print provides more opportunities for combinations - it is especially good with denim and other plain fabrics.

4. For a strict office dress code, a floral print is not always appropriate. Using it as an accent or choosing the most relaxed option helps out.

5. Usually miniature women are not recommended a large print, but for large figures - a small print, but this rule is conditional. It is better to focus on the fact that any print in one way or another emphasizes that part of the body on which the thing is worn with it.

5. Ready mix of prints: in order to achieve a trending effect of matching prints, it is not necessary to combine - you can choose a fabric where, for example, initially a strip complements a floral print.

11. With lace: when choosing an openwork "pair" for a thing with a floral print, stop at the solid version - the lace itself gives the effect of a pattern, a pattern.
