Outfit Post: Floral Leggings

I recently went to London and being the Lana Del Rey fan that I am, decided to wear two items from her collection with H&M. I clearly took inspiration from the store’s ad campaign and can’t claim to have done any amazing or original styling with this outfit, but I did want to talk about these pieces.

I fell in love with the jumper as soon as I saw it. It had a sort of cotton candy vibe in the images. But as 90% of it is made from angora (bunny hair), it was the itchiest thing I have ever worn, even with a t-shirt under it. It also malts like crazy - great if you’re in fancy dress as a pink Yeti, not great if you’re standing on a crowded train full of men in black suits (sorry to anyone that ended up with a furry jacket). H&M do, however, offer a few similar jumpers that I doubt would be as itchy.

I surprised myself by buying the leggings, as I never normally wear bold print on my bottom half. I love them though, and the print is beautiful. Although they’re from an autumn collection, they are very spring-like, so I found some darker alternatives for the winter months.

If you want to wear floral leggings but feel that an all over pattern might be unflattering or too bold, there are some subtler styles out there. Go for a dark pattern, like this pair from Marks and Spencer (below) or look out for panels of floral print.

They look great with oversized jumpers and black leather jackets.
