THE SENSITIVE CUT
*Beatriz Pimentel
written CHIDOZIE OBASI
As fictional The Devil Wears Prada journalist Miranda Priestly infamously declared, florals for spring are far from “groundbreaking”. The recent sequel catapulted memes of this quote into the digital realm – and its echo still stands, decades on. But that’s not to say floral prints, in whatever format you choose to embrace them – a dress, a floral skirt, a design statement – should be altogether dismissed.

They’re arguably easier to incorporate into a wardrobe than most loud patterns. Less in your face because you’re not clad head-to-toe in blooms, they can be contrasted with a neutral pairing or can be layered over a dress for a moment at the opera or a chilled one on the beach. A lot lies in the mood, and finding a pattern that steers clear of being too whimsical or ditsy is easy to find – so too, flattering silhouettes that feel contemporary rather than retro. Fabric is another clincher: more rigid materials can lean into curtain territory, while anything too ultra-thin might run the risk of flashing what’s beneath – which is, of course, fine, if it’s done with sheer intent. And if you want to push for further balance? Look no further than LE MILE’s women’s edit of breezy staples, and be ready to become the very embodiment of the season. You’re welcome.
