Ah, there is nothing like a floral print blouse to get you in the mood for summer. From off the shoulder to kimono style blouses, the floral print can make any garment look stellar. While florals are commonly associated with 50’s tea dresses and vintage, the floral print has been updated for S/S 17, with brands like Quiz and Zaful, using florals as a feature print in a way that is new and fresh. From tropical floral blouses inspired by ‘summer beach trips’ to choker blouses with a moody floral print, one thing is for certain, florals are going nowhere this season.
Let Faded Spring take you on a ride through floral town with 5 of the best floral print blouses that you need in your life right now. Let the countdown begin!
While the 90’s was infamous for its love of leather and charm chokers, 2017 saw a surge in chokers that were more romantic, flouncy and in some cases were attached to tops, to add dimension to a look. Chokers help elongate the neck and attached to a blouse, can make it transform from ‘frumpy’ to sexy, all through that one key detail. What I love about this floral choker blouse is how the colours and even the floral print is muted, moody even which while not a traditional choice for ‘summer wear’ is sophisticated and elegant. Plus the moody floral print does have a pop of colour with the orange blossoms and set against a navy blue background creates a beautiful contrast.
There are many ways that you can style the floral choker blouse and I have listed some options below

Nothing says romance more than a ruffled tier top or dress. Imagine then how much more the romance is heightened when you use a floral feature print, in a delicate shade of white and peach? To capture the essence of romance and love, look for tops that have billowing tiered sleeves or an off the shoulder neckline, to really heighten the passion. Whether you are after a floral ruffle blouse that has sex appeal or want something a little more demure for the office, there is guaranteed to be a ruffle blouse made especially for you.

Not all blouses have to be long sleeved, as the examples below demonstrate. Featuring luxe embroidered rose detailing, these floral mesh blouses are the perfect ‘top’ to transform from day to night. Wear with a maxi skirt for casual summer strolls or with a pair of rolled up embroidered jeans for a comfortable but chic look. By night pair with a matching embroidered floral mesh skirt or even layer on top of a dress for maximum style points.

What is Your Favourite Floral Print Trend?
I loved the floral ruffle blouse. it is feminine and sweet yet statement piece.
My favourite floral print trend is definitely the floral ruffle blouse. Floral patterns have to be sweet for me to pull them off, or at least feel like I do. 🙂 x
My favorite has to be number 5. All of them do look very good for summer
i love the off shoulder tops number 5. looks comfortable. love the simple floral design.
Those are some gorgeous floral print blouses, I have to admit I’m really loving the floral trend that seems to be about at the moment.
I think the bardot is my favourite. I think it’s such a flattering style and I would wear it with jeans and sandals for a more casual day time look. You look amazing in them all though!
I love all of them, but the top and bottom one is my favourite. Everyone comments on how lovely my floral top is when I wear it.
I somehow dont feel very comfortable wearing lot of floral prints. Not sure why that is. But it looks great on you and you are able to pull it off too!
I love floral print. I cannot get enough of it!
The blouses are nice and all, but it’s all about those floral boots! Those are definitely on pointe!
I love the mesh blouse, and the choker blouse. I am a huge fan of florals and am loving how much there is around x
I love them all! And you wear them so very beautifully as always!!! Love a bit of floral x
I wasn’t a fan of the embroidered trend to start with, but it’s really grown on me! The embroidered skirt you have on is LUSH!
I’m loving the floral trend at the moment and all of these blouses look fab on you! x
Stunning! The floral ruffle blouse is my favourite. I really wanted to start wearing Bardot tops this year but I’m sure I have strap lines already, I should have been using my factor 50!
While the floral style may be associated with the 50’s, it is a style that I love. I love #2, Floral Ruffle Blouse. Great pictures of all the floral tops!
Lovely shirts, they all look stunning on you and are perfect for the summer. I’m not sure the sheer one is for me but I love the blue shirt
There are some gorgeous floral prints out this season, I really love the blue off the shoulder. You look stunning 🙂
florals aren’t usually my thing but I’m really digging the last one! i think its the bardot style thats why haah
I love floral prints in the summer you’ve picked some fab choices.
Floral prints are sooo fresh and I went on a trip to Zara a few days ago and I noticed LOTS of men’s clothes have floral prints as well. I may or may not jump on the board haha! I like clothes with holes in them – LOL – rather more honestly xx
Great shirts, for sure. But those boots! They are killer! You have such a great style.
They all look great, but my favorite by far is the floral blouse. I love that prints are coming back in style!
I love floral prints, this is such a great selection.
I love the second top the most. I’d love to wear more off the shoulder tops but they just end up annoying me. They all look lovely on you
I love all of these floral options! I have a bodysuit with roses almost like the one you are wearing! It’s one of my favorites!

These blouses are so pretty, my favorite one is the black one.
I love the floral choker style blouse, looks awesome
The off the shoulder bardot style is a current fave of mine because I think it is the sort of blouse which suits everyone.
I’m in love with allllll the flowers in outfit 3, it’s so bright and colourful xx
I’ve been on the hunt for some new blouses for summer, and am loving your picks! Floral seems to be all the rage with the college girls this summer, I was riding my bike through campus the other day and couldn’t help but notice all of the pretty flower patterns. ps: I never paid attention until I started following a few (and very cool) fashion bloggers! Out of all the looks, I like the floral mesh the best. It’s sexy, yet sophisticated.
Outfit 3 is gorgeous! Oh my god you look amazing. Love the shoes. I hope you are well. xx
I love the off the shoulder top blouses. Great for summer as long as you put on plenty of suncream
Bright colours and floral designs are perfect for wearing in the warm sun 🙂 great selection you have showcased above
I absolutely love how you styled these bold floral patterns! My fave are the cold shoulder/off-the-shoulder blouses. You look beautiful!
These are very exciting looks despite the fact that florals are everywhere almost every summer. I love the eclectic and edgy look you have styled with the floral mesh top. The skirt and boots work really well with the top and overall a unique look. Well done!
Oh my God first and second look Im obsessed (of course all looks are
Beautifull !). Floral print is such a trend now so coordinated with see through clothes or embroidered pieces is really a cool thing🙏🏻
