(FLORAL) shorts/playsuit style guide

So we all know that summer is right around the corner and that new trends are flooding into popular high street shops such as new look, river island, primark etc..

but with so many different styles (lace, floral, bright, colour blocking, statement shirts)
it can be confusing to know what is right on trend and what it not,
also, what goes well, and what should never be put together.

now, im not a fashion expert, trust me, but when it comes to summer i like to be wearing shorts/playsuits and cute things like that, looking cool while being cool? ok...enough of the jokes...


my first pic of choice is this rose-floral print playsuit found in newlook:
White Pattern (White) White Pastel Rose Print Playsuit | 251199919 | New Look
i own this myself, and it retails for £25.00 and can be found here
i love this playsuit as it can be paired with lace, soft browns, white, mint green, lemon, lilac, gold AND silver, so its a very universal peice.

i would match this with
Bright Orange (Orange) Orange Lace Ankle Socks | 249734382 | New Look
(£1.99)

Chestnut (Brown) Lace Tights | 227240125 | New Look
(£4.99)

Apricot (Orange) Limited Diamante Collar Necklace | 248737384 | New Look
(£12.99)

Biscuit (Stone ) Diamanté Feather Earrings | 248496715 | New Look
(£3.99)

White (White) Birdcage Pendant | 249683710 | New Look
(5.99)

Shell Pink (Pink) Dazzle Patent Brogues | 240084672 | New Look
(£19.99)

all items above are found at new look

now for shorts this summer, i would either be wearing
floral with pastel/white shirt
bold with bold shirt (orange shorts and blue shirt etc)
pastel shorts with floral shirt
soft brown shorts with floral shirt
this is a basic guideline, i would add quirky accessories to make the outfit more you
remember, accessories compliment the outfit, they shouldnt be the outfit
 
these shorts are found here at river island
there a very pretty pastel pink/coral colour, which can be perfectly matched with a floral top.
i think the following items would go perfectly with this peice:

(crop top, £30.00)


(front^                         £25.00            back^)



(£6.99)


(£5.00)

(£5.00)

(£40.00)

(£20.00)

(all items above can be found at river island here

SO, there is my way of how to style floral shorts. what do you think? are you a fan of floral? do you think these items go well together? do you recomend anything? comment below and share your thoughts!
