Flower crowns aren’t just for fairy princesses anymore, nor are they just for young girls playing in their backyards. We ladies need to have some fun too, and who says you can’t work a wreath of roses around your head every once in a while?
Perfect for music festivals, bridal showers, or picnics on the beach, flower wreaths come with a bit of a cliché, but that doesn’t mean we don’t embrace them.
When did this trend begin? Is it the liberation of spring and summer that bring with them the compulsion to return to childhood, when skipping across the beach and making playing make believe were common pastimes? Or is it the Coachella complex; the type of girl who wears a flower crown because it’s endearingly sexy? They do have an element of sex appeal, in the same way that covering up can be more inviting because it leaves so much to the imagination. Flower crowns depict innocence, and therefore when worn as a fashion statement are totally hot.
How does one wear a flower crown? When paired with long, flowing locks, the look is definitely more bohemian. In order not to appear too hippie, wear something polished but casual. A sundress is perfect with wedges or booties.
You can also wear the flower crown with a twisted braid, or another elegant updo. The twisted braid adds to the element of innocence associated with the flower crown. This hairstyle is already more conservative and clean, and is perfect for formal occasions, like outdoor weddings or bridal showers.
Florals are the new accessory for summer, and we’ve compiled looks that will make you want to never take them off.
