With spring on the way it’s time to freshen up your wardrobe with bold prints and bright colours. Florals lead the way again this season, with the high street already full of flowers, from digital prints to delicate embroidery. With its 80 brands under one roof, Buchanan Galleries is a good place to start if you want to put a spring into your step.

Instead of top to toe florals, try one statement piece. Next’s floral tapered trousers look great paired with a simple white shirt and blazer to create a stylish look for the office. If your workplace is strictly suits, then the delicate print on Warehouse’s scatter floral shirt adds a softer edge to a trouser and jacket combo. For a more subtle addition, Rainbow Couture at John Lewis’ Valentina floral court shoe won’t overwhelm your outfit.

And for a real statement, Bruce by Bruce Oldfield at John Lewis’ digital floral print coat is a real investment. The bold monochrome pattern will seal the deal at your latest meeting, while still looking great for cocktails on Friday night.

Florals, of course, are always perfect for spring weddings and christenings. But your outfit needn’t break the bank. Oasis’ high neck blossom dress has a wonderful oriental feel, and costs just £45. Elsewhere, Phase Eight’s Casey dress has a flared skirt that hides a multitude of sins, while the silky fabric and digital print looks and feels luxurious. Lipsy’s Studio 75 rose print maxi dress, meanwhile, is not for the faint hearted. The cascading back and plunge neckline will add a bit of theatre to any occasion.
