MANY people think of floral as a feminine print but that’s not how it is. The fresh print looks great on men as well. Like the colour pink, floral prints are also a territory that can be tough to visit. But that by no means says that you should not try them.
After all, it takes a gentleman to pose in a floral print. Just because many men have made fashion blunders when wearing floral shirts doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try them. If you aren’t sure about whether or not it will suit you, don’t worry. We’re here to walk you through ways you can don a floral shirt in a classy manner.
How to wear a floral shirt for men
There are some rules to wearing floral prints. Follow these and you will be on the safe side
- Firstly, don’t wear two different prints. Even if the contrast seems lovely, just don’t.
- The rest of your clothing items should be plain when you are wearing the floral printed shirt
- You should wear lighter but brighter tones in summers and duller plus darker tones in winters.
- Floral prints don’t suit all occasions. Be mindful about where you intend to sport one.
Floral tees look perfect casually. They come in several materials, styles and designs. Choose one that suits you and breeze through the day. If you want you can go for collared tees. Those also look beautiful.
Fashion is all about self-expression. A floral button down when worn stylishly exhibits your confidence. When wearing a floral print keep the rest of the look toned down. Don’t opt for another striking print. That would be overdoing the look. Go for other plain clothing items. You can wear your button up floral shirt with jeans or shorts. You can also keep it unbuttoned with a plain round-neck shirt worn beneath it.
The long sleeves cuffed dress shirts of floral prints look classy with slim fit or straight leg jeans. Floral tees of full-length sleeves can be worn with a variety of trousers from jeans to khakis.
When you wear both the shirt and the shorts of a flowery print be sure to match both prints. You would have to be really dandy to be able to pull off that. A better choice would be to wear a plain item with a floral one. Double floral gives a Hawaiian look that one isn’t always aiming for.
The thing about leather is that it makes everything better. A leather jacket would enhance the overall look to reach the ideal balance.
The fresh vibe of the flowery print with the powerful one of leather would make for an elegant yet fun look.
If you fear you can’t do justice to the floral shirt but you want to really try it then wear a denim jacket over the floral printed shirt to reduce the prominence of the summery print.
Blazers and floral printed shirts outclass all other floral outfits.
The look is both formal and informal.
In the beginning, floral prints couldn’t be worn by men in winters. But now designers have started incorporating these cool prints in sweaters and other thick material shirts. Dark and dull colours like greys and blacks look best in the winter season. Layering makes for great style. For instance, a floral shirt can be worn with a plain sweater and long boots. You could also wear these shirts with trench coats in winters.
The only way to wear the floral shirt with swag is by carrying the apparel with confidence. Experiment but don’t copy styles.
The floral print trousers
How to wear printed trousers can be a tricky business. You don’t want to give off a fancy-dress vibe with some garish patterns. They need to be understated, with just a subtle hint of expression, which can speak volumes about your personality.
Try looking for some relaxed jeans with some floral patterns in them for a low level first try, if you’re unsure. Alternatively, dark trousers with a bright floral print can go well with a dark top to avoid clashing, whilst holding your fashion integrity.
When wearing floral trousers, be aware of where you’re wearing them to. Floral trousers and a corporate office environment do NOT go well. If you’re on a night out to the pub with friends, or on a casual day out in London, then floral trousers can be perfect. They’re usually made with a very comfortable material, which again means a huge fashion statement with minimal hassle.
