I know florals are big for summer, but I don't want to look like I'm wearing my mother's window drapes. How can I incorporate this trend into my wardrobe without looking like I'm trying too hard?

Floral prints are hard to pull off, but nothing says summer like a pretty floral print. We went to the fashionable ladies at Nygård for some floral wearing tips.

Accessories are a good place to start. Try a cocktail ring, an embroidered tote, or a printed scarf. When you're ready for more, graduate to one piece of clothing that incorporates the trend. Sticking to only one piece ensures balance so your look isn't overwhelming. Try a floral printed skirt with a basic tank top, or tone down a blouse of hothouse florals with a simple, tailored blazer. Abstract floral motifs are also a great way to ensure your look is current, and one in a limited colour palette, like Bianca Nygård's Fabric Blocked Top, ensures you don't look like you're swathed in drapes!
