The Rosette Trend Is Budding Everywhere This Spring
Spring is in the air, and there's one trend that's already blooming in fashion scenes across the globe. Spotted on the likes of stars from Zendaya to Hailey Bieber, rosettes are shaping up to be one of this year's most stylish trends. Of course, celebs aren't the only ones sporting the floral embellishments — across social media feeds, fashion fans are turning heads with corsage-adorned frocks and accessories. One of the season's most sought-after finds, the oversized rosette choker, is a clear nod to red carpet looks of the nineties and noughties.
It's hardly surprising that we'll be seeing rosettes everywhere this spring — after all, flowery flourishes have been on designers' minds for some time now. Carolina Herrera, Rochas, and Acne Studios are just a few of the fashion houses that featured rosettes prominently in their SS23 runway shows. Plus, these aren't your typical spring florals: This year's rosettes can suit virtually anyone's sense of style. Whether you're into bold, Carrie Bradshaw-inspired brooches or barely-there embellishments, there are countless ways to interpret the trend. Ready to find your favorite rosy look? Ahead, we'll break down some of the best ways to wear rosettes for spring 2023.
Flirty rosette bandeau
A form-fitting bandeau top is a playful way to flaunt an oversized rosette design this spring — plus, it draws the eyes to this season's very on-trend statement earrings. Naturally, this piece would be perfect for a balletcore-inspired fit, but it could work just as well paired simply with your favorite jeans.
Babydoll dress with corsage straps
Not all roses are red. The jet-black satin rosettes on this tulle mini dress are a striking interpretation of the season's hottest embellishment. Since the floral details are so subtle, accessories should be kept simple to let them shine. Try wearing a sheer black silk scarf or, as pictured, some shoulder-skimming earrings.
Retro puff-sleeve rosette dress
From the ultra-feminine silhouette to the explosion of pink petals on every surface, this puff-sleeved mini dress is spring personified. If you're ready to welcome the rosette trend with open arms, this is the look for you. We're simply loving the retro balloon sleeves and micro-mini hem — and why not amp it up with some '60s-style eye makeup?
Mini rosette appliqués
Looking for a more minimalist approach to the rosette trend? Try a blouse or dress with barely-there rosette appliqués and beadwork, which blend seamlessly into a multicolored floral print. Thanks to the understated elegance of this dress, you can easily transition this flirty piece from day to night all season long.
Bold corsage shoes
Mastering the rosette trend is easy with the help of some flowery footwear. Shoes with colorful blooms can brighten up any warm-weather outfit, from date-night frocks to casual denimwear. Alternatively, corsage heels in chic, neutral hues can be worn for a softer springtime look that still pays tribute to the very on-trend floral.
Structural rosette dress
You'll never feel underdressed in a structural rosette design like this. While it may not be suited to everyday wear, this extravagant interpretation of the season's biggest trend is sure to collect compliments — not to mention photo ops. Take things a step further with a pair of rosette-laced shoes, or let the dress take center stage with dainty, barely-there jewelry.
Rosette satin crop top
What's not to love about this asymmetrical blouse? From the single '80s puff sleeve to the kittenish choker detail, a rosette crop top is the perfect piece to kick off your best spring ever. Whether you dress it down with jeans or keep things flirty with a micro-mini, you're guaranteed to generate good vibes in this satiny style.
Flouncy rosette mini dress
In search of the perfect date night dress? This coquettish tiered mini dress is all you need to radiate main character energy, featuring a casual rosette front and center. What's more, the delicate blue-on-pink print accentuates the rosy theme even further. Wear it with your best clean-girl makeup look for a fresh-faced way to step into spring.
Rosette statement ring
Put a creative twist on the rosette trend with a brightly colored statement ring. This cheerful accessory looks great on its own, or you can wear some thin lucite or gold stacking rings on either side. For even more visual interest, try matching your manicure to the color of your ring.
Strappy rosette mini dress
One way to keep all eyes on you this spring? With a flirty, Y2K-inspired rosette mini dress, of course. The sheer, gauzy fabric and super-skinny spaghetti straps on this fit are made for basking in the springtime sunshine. Finish the look with a messy updo, oversized hoops, and ultra-glossy lips for total noughties perfection.
Rosette-inspired nails
There are plenty of ways to get rosette nails this spring, but we love this hyperrealistic, layered manicure's approach. Try sporting this style in unconventional hues, or experiment with other rose-themed accents, like sculptural 3D petals. Furthermore, you can pull off a rosette manicure at home with the help of some simple nail art stencils.
Crocheted rosette handbag
Fuse two of spring's biggest trends together with a crocheted rosette purse that's sure to suit any boho-inspired fit. Crocheted bags not quite your cup of tea? Don't despair — this season rosettes are popping up everywhere in handbag designs, from sculpted leather clutches to satin evening bags.
Oversized rosette choker
Our No. 1 prediction for the biggest rosette trend this spring? The oversized rosette choker, of course. This super-sweet necklace is making the rounds in fashion circles everywhere, and for good reason — it looks stunning on everyone who wears it. Wear it long, with dangling ties or ribbons, or try an ultra-fitted look. Either way, this stunning rosette piece is destined to be your new favorite accessory.
Gathered rosette top
There are many ways to wear rosette blouses this season, but we love this straightforward halter. With its peachy pink hue and curve-hugging silhouette, this rosette top is as versatile as it is elegant. Top it off with monochromatic separates for a coquette-inspired aesthetic, or toughen it up with black denim shorts and metal jewelry.
Fabric rosette earrings
Searching for an easy way to freshen up your look for spring? Add a romantic pair of rosette earrings for some effortless floral flair. Opt for earrings in classic red or pink hues, or try rocking one of the more offbeat spring 2023 color trends, like acid green or cool lavender.
