The prettiest floral clothes and accessories to celebrate spring | CNN Underscored

(CNN) —  

Miranda Priestly said it best: Florals in spring are anything but groundbreaking. But the blossoming pattern just seems to feel at home in these warmer months — especially as both working from home in the same basic sweatsuits starts to feel really monotonous and vaccinated people are now able to venture more outside.

“I always light up when I see co-workers in a joyful floral outfit,” says stylist Cassandra Dittmer, who mentions that the pattern is a fun way to exude energy and confidence on a Zoom call. “Plus, the cyclical nature of flowers makes them an obvious and natural choice for the season.”

Jewlie Williams, a creative at Understated Leather in Austin, Texas, has a major affinity for florals; she uses the pattern as a way to perk up her tired rotation of work-from-home outfits. “It’s so easy to let your WFH outfits become basic and easy — almost thoughtless — but after a year of that, I’m more than ready to feel inspired, even if I’m the only person that’s going to see what I’m wearing,” she says.
