:upscale()/2014/02/27/936/n/1922564/790192192bbf36e0_thumb_temp_front_page_image_file341926371393535137.jpg)
If you've never been the floral-loving type, this season's fresh blooms might just convince you to embrace garden party prints.
Even if you're thinking florals for Spring are hardly groundbreaking, these iterations could prove you wrong. They've gone from the floral-appliqué-covered dresses on the runway to skater shoes washed in all-over florals, sweatshirts covered in bright buds, and even a leather jacket washed in a graphic botanicals. So, yeah, when we say these aren't the flowery patterns of your middle-school dress days, we're not lying. Flip through to see all the ways we're wearing the print right now, and start shopping the trend. Source: Getty and IMAXTREE
