Just as there are colors that we associate with certain seasons, there are also objects we relate to them. When it comes to dressing for nice weather, we tend to think of elements from nature. This is precisely what the major fashion companies did when they put out designs with the happy prints that will make up our most refreshing outfits this summer.
For this summer, Paco Rabanne, Stella McCartney, and Elie Saab, among others, confirmed that the traditional summer floral print will be back on-trend this summer, but a special flower will be featured: daisies. Set over a black background, this delicate flower originally from Europe is going to be taking over your outfits, combining femininity and elegance. The proof is in this list!

On the Paco Rabanne runway, long dresses with a country air were seen, and their daisy prints were taken to the max in his maxi dresses. To round off these looks, remember to use a belt to define your waist.

Stella McCartney also put daisies on her long summer dresses, though with a much more bohemian vibe. She paired them with fabric bags and sneakers for chic comfort.

Staying true to his style, Elie Saab showed daisy prints harmoniously arranged against a black background to stand out even more.
Given everything seen on these runways, regardless of their size, daisies will clearly be the center of attention in this summer’s looks. So, here are a few options for you to wear this trend as temperatures rise:
