After seeing all the stylish men during Paris & New York Fashion Week, I can’t blame you for wanting to master your florals. Some men might be wary of wearing floral prints, as it’s not traditionally seen as a masculine style. However, just remember that wearing floral fearlessly also denotes a man who is a lover of summer and the sun, and is confident and strong enough to wear just what he wants. That said, incorporating floral prints into your everyday look can be tricky. Below are tip from Bloggers Boyfriend for men who wants to invest in the right florals and wear it to perfection.

Do wear neutral florals and pair them with neutral colours. If you’re still wary to jump right into bright colours, a safer choice is florals with neutral hues and earthy tones. Be a man of liesure and collect florals in washed out linen and silk, which are perfect for a life of yacht and beach parties.
Do wear large scale florals prints. The bigger the better – a large scale print is more than just a floral pattern, but a bold statement that will be the star of your outfit.
Do wear florals with your monochromes and other neutral colours. When in doubt, pair floral prints with your daily staples in monochrome and neutral colours. Think denim, corduroy, and black and white basics.
Do wear one floral piece in an outfit. Your floral print is guaranteed to stand out and speak for itself, so everything else in your outfit should be pared back to give it room to shine.
Do trust your favourite designers. No two floral print is the same. Dolce&Gabbana’s floral will never be the same as Valentino’s floral, even when they’re in same colour scheme. The designers and their team have worked the whole season for one pattern to impress their worshipers. Basically the choice of floral to wear this season has been made for you, so trust the floral piece from your favourite designer. helped you decide what floral to wear this season.
Do wear your floral to express your style. It is always about the style, and style is not created by one piece alone. An outfit that shouts out your personality will always be on point. Pair the so-wrong-it’s-right floral with just the right blazer, material, bracelets and sandals, something wrong can become something extremely right.
Do wear floral in casual outfits. Style should always be timeless and effortless, even and especially in your daily outfits. Pair your florals with worn-out jeans, washed linen, draw-strong trousers, the one-button-missing shirt and the grandpa belt – not everything has to be so serious.
Don’t go over the top. Stylish men make one statement at a time. If the floral peice is the hero of your outfit, keep everything else minimal, but play with subtle contrasts in fabrics and textures like corduroy, suede and leather. When in doubt, go neutral.
Don’t wear poor quality floral pieces Floral goes out of style easily, so make sure you only trust the iconic designers and quality vintage for your truely classic floral piece. Its longevity will be worth the investment.
