How to Wear Florals - Flower Patterns in Menswear

About this video

The Gentleman’s Gazette team provides comprehensive guidance on incorporating floral patterns into classic menswear, covering five practical ways to wear florals and establishing clear do’s and don’ts to avoid appearing garish or out of place. They argue that while floral patterns have become increasingly popular, particularly in Italian menswear, they require careful styling to maintain a gentlemanly aesthetic rather than looking like wallpaper or costume wear.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends wearing floral patterns primarily in spring and summer, with the exception of subtle floral accessories like pocket squares that can be worn year-round
• They advise limiting outfits to one or two floral patterns maximum, pairing florals only with neutral solid colors, and opting for smaller, muted floral prints over bold, large-scale patterns
• The Gazette team identifies the five easiest ways to incorporate florals as: swim trunks, pocket squares, socks, ties, and shirts—with particular emphasis on muted tones, light backgrounds, and classic cuts for office-appropriate styling
