Cherry blossoms are in full bloom all over the world , signaling that spring has indeed arrived after a long, cold winter. Pretty soon, we’ll be slipping into our dresses and sheer tops in the classic, will-never-go-out-of-style print – florals. But who said florals are only for the feminine and flirty? Check out these five classic pieces to wear with your floral pant for an oh-so-fresh spring look.
1. The Sheer Top
Alba of Petit Sweet Couture
Spring is the perfect excuse to bring out your sheer pieces. Pair a sheer white top with a dominantly white floral pant and accentuate by inserting pops of neon color. Pick colored bracelets that mach the colors in your floral print and ground the look with a dash of gold jewelry.

If you want to do chic, you can never go wrong with the Coco Chanel tweed jacket look.

This look is definitely nothing to be blue about.

Bring out your sweet sixteen by pairing your floral pants with a youthful sweetheart neckline peplum top. If the look is a bit too sweet for you, grab a sharp structured blazer, sunnies, and pile on some gold jewelry to instantly inject a bit more maturity into the outfit. You can also experiment with your shoes and bag according to your level of playfulness.

4. The Oversized Cardigan
Virgit of Preppy Fashionist
We absolutely love this soft, preppy floral look because, seriously, how in need are we of a fresh floral approach for spring? This look delivered exceedingly well by inserting a pop of bright yellow paired with grounded floral colors. We also love the use of black accessories to make the yellow and florals the focal point. Trés trés chic.

5. The Collared Top and Knit Sweater
Margarita of White Rabbit Dreams
Mastering the art of layering may be a bit difficult, so we recommend starting with your trusty white collared shirt and a sweater to go with your floral pants. We absolutely adore the color scheme in this outfit – the mixture of blue and gray hues is genius (and, mind you, quite far from dull or boring). Wear the look with an oversized coat during chilly nights.
