How to select the color of a long sleeved floral dress

Floral prints come in various fabrics and colors. Select a floral dress that complements your body and style. Choose between the one with small flowers or go bold by selecting large flowers.

a) Background color: When selecting a color, you will often notice that floral print will always lean towards a host background color. It may be red, black, blue, metallic, or more. Consequently, white backgrounds with sunny-inspired blooms are great for concealing bulges, while darker ones are great for an individual intending to portray an illusion of being slim. Choose the color that complements your skin tone.

Large flowers often tend to be more flattering to people with petite body types. Therefore, shapely women should avoid oversized floral patterns as they may add a few pounds to their silhouettes. Smaller flowers give a solid color impression and are best for people with shapely body types. Additionally, neutral colors like silver, beige and black often compliment the floral print. Therefore, they portray a sense of balance that brings out harmony in your style.

b) Mixed Pattern:
If you want to look trendy and stylish, consider going for pattern mixing. Pair your floral dress with a bangle bracelet with a bold stripe. Alternatively, consider selecting one or two colors from the pattern dress and match it with your accessories. For instance, select black from your pattern floral dress and match the dress with a black hat, glasses, and shoes.

When it comes to long-sleeved floral dresses, go for simple jewelry to avoid clashing with your fashionable attire. Choose delicate jewelry pieces that are classic and traditional.
