The Spring 2009 catwalks were covered with floral prints, which couldn’t be more fitting for the season. The femininity and flirtiness of floral dresses were blooming in the collections of Oscar de la Renta and Tracy Reese, so it’s no wonder that this trend would translate off the runways.
Floral dresses have a slight countryside reference, but place them in the middle of Milan and they couldn’t be any trendier. These flowy dresses are wind-sweeping and flattering. Do not be afraid to be daring with the colors because now is the time to stand out amongst the whites and neutral tone colors with electric blues, yellows, and purples.

Wearing a belt around the waist is one of the oldest slimming tricks in fashion. It’s a simple solution that requires no thought and the results speak for themselves. However, the women of Milan are not quite wearing them at the natural waistline, but slightly higher and just beneath the bust, which works just as well. This easily assessable accessory adds that touch of classiness to a plain blouse or a color-blocked dress that can turn any day look into one fit for the evenings. Just take some hints from the runways of Chloe, Louis Vuitton, and Marni for this belted effect.
