Delightful daisies for spring/summer 2014

This year the daisy print is the pattern of the season. Whether you wear it on a dress, shorts, sunglasses or shoes, make sure you pick up something covered with this floral motif.

Every spring and summer we are introduced to the print of the season. From bold Aztec prints to vivid tropical imagery, the pattern for the warm months will pop up in every high-street store and for 2014 it is the daisy print.

It was first spotted on Prada’s catwalk in the form of a black funky jumper sprinkled with bold white daisies; this happened last year but it seems that the trend has only just reached the high street for summer 2014. 

What is so fabulous about the daisy pattern is that it is often on a backdrop of black which offers a rather 90s grunge feel to it. Whereas some floral designs come across as prissy and a little girly, the daisy print can work both on a feminine, floaty dress and laidback cool crop top.

So, whether you want to go all out in head-to-toe daisy print or just add a pop of colour and vibrancy with a piece of jewellery, check out below for the best on the high street (and online).

A statement necklace from River Island is a fabulous way to make the daisy trend work for the evening or a night out. Simply add to a black mini dress for a chic and on-trend outfit.

Nothing screams 90s cool quite like a pair of high-waisted denim shorts printed with daisies. Super comfortable and super cute, this pair from Topshop is the must-have item of the summer.

You’ll look just like an extra from Clueless with this funky New Look rucksack; ideal for a summer walk or day at the beach, rucksacks are making a big comeback in 2014.  

Brighten up the office in this daisy-print collared dress from Quiz Clothing, long enough to wear with bare legs on a warm day – add some smart shoes and you’re good to go.

This simple Matalan camisole can be worn with a pair of shorts or trousers for day and dolled up with heels and a skirt for a night out; bold enough print to make a statement but the monochrome colouring keeps it cool.

If you’re feeling adventurous, throw on these Missguided sunglasses to show how ready you really are for summer!

Reminiscent of the Prada jumper that caught everybody’s eye, this USC one is just as delightful but a fraction of the price.
