As if to prove that April showers will result in an abundance of May flowers, Prada’s spring 2016 collection of filmy slip dresses are awash in blossom-inspired prints. The transparent looks, slated to arrive in boutiques—and their shop windows—in early May, can be layered atop knit separates that add the perfect dose of frumpy chic to an otherwise wispy silhouette. This way, the colorful silk dresses, shirts, pants, and skirts seem to hover just above the body while allowing the chunky under layers to add texture and neutral tones. Pair the floral patterns and thin sweaters with a pair of slouchy kneesocks and platforms, and the look gains an instant retro polish. Next stop: the West Coast festival circuit.
