In the eyes of The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly, florals for spring are decidedly non-groundbreaking. But that's ok, because it's Autumn!

How we chose:
- Style and floral theme: We've scoured the internet's top fashion sites for the chicest pieces of floral knitwear. While they vary in design, from retro-inspired cardis to fuzzy, off-the-shoulder jumpers, these pieces are united by the fact that they feel spring-appropriate and utterly pretty.
- Price: Whether you're planning on splashing out or bagging a bargain, we've got a piece of floral knitwear in your price range. We've selected this season's best, ranging from affordable-luxe brands to designer labels if you're looking to invest.
Why you should trust me:
Working in fashion is simultaneously the best and worst thing that’s ever happened to me because spending all day surrounded by gorgeous pieces and trends lit a fire under my (already substantial) shopping habit. I love to shop. I live to shop. In a previous life, I worked in Personal Shopping, and I’m the person to take out with you if you want to be wholeheartedly talked into a purchase.
