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!
It's almost time to start reaching for soft knits, sumptuous roll necks and glorious cardigans, and what better way to cling onto a bit of Summer spirit, than by injecting some florals into proceedings.
We adore this delicate cream cardi teamed with midi skirt and bubblegum flats.
So whether you're a fan of bombastic colour or lean towards the wallflower end of the spectrum, we've hunted out the best floral cardigans and jumpers to keep you toasty yet chic as temperatures drop.

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.
