Trend Importance Factor: Medium.

Wearability Factor: Medium.

How to Wear It: Large floral prints work well for statement pieces--a breathtaking dress, a fun tote bag, or a stunning skirt. For best results, keep these large floral prints in two, or maximum three, colors. For smaller floral prints, you can afford to include more colors. Smaller prints also tend to work on more petite women, as they don't overwhelm small frames.

Where in Trend Lifecycle: Early, though this floral trend is a logical outgrowth of fashion's larger movement towards natural colors, fabrics, and prints.
