Floral prints have been and always will be a hot trend when it comes to women’s fashion. However, even many fashion-savvy women can’t grasp the how-tos of properly styling a floral-printed piece of clothing.
An example of a key floral-printed piece of clothing is, of course, a miniskirt. Many women find that floral prints prove too girly or immature for their liking and personal style.
If you happen to experience a similar dilemma when it comes to floral skirts, then stick around for some tips on how to balance out floral prints with help from some of our favorite fashion bloggers!
1. Bohemian-Chic Floral Mini Skirt
Think Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, and Kate Bosworth. You can easily balance out the flimsiness and girly factor of a floral mini skirt by pairing it up with a neutral-hued plain loose knit top and the right accessories just like Late Afternoon‘s outfit below.
The neutral color and loose fit of your top would easily tone down the bold prints and colors of your floral skirt, even more so if paired with other neutral-hued accessories such as a handbag, a hat, and what have you.

2. Easy and Breezy Floral Mini Skirt
Aside from neutral-colored tops, you can also opt for a brightly-colored piece to go with your floral skirt. You can easily choose a brightly colored top that matches at least one color shade on your skirt for a lighter and more casual look just like Disarming Darling’s ensemble below.
If you still want to tone down the prints and colors of your floral skirt, you can accessorize your outfit with pieces that have darker and deeper colors as well. Her blog is unfortunately no longer available online.

Another great way to balance out and tone down your floral skirt, no matter how girly and feminine-looking it is, is by toughening up your look with edgy pieces.
Pair it with a leather biker jacket and black booties or perhaps a worn-out denim vest and buckled platform sandals just like Lumedisco’s outfit below. Her blog is unfortunately no longer available online.
