Florals are synonymous with spring and summer, but after years of accumulating free-spirited frocks, feminine blouses, and high-waisted denim featuring botanical prints, they can all start to blend together. If you're in the mood for something a bit edgier, look no further than the 15 anything-but-basic essentials below. From bright solids to prints and of-the-moment silhouettes, they put a whole new sartorial twist on the concept of flower power.
