The most romantic trend of summer 2024

Following the trends of tenniscore and mermaidcore, the garden girl aesthetic has emerged. The "garden girl" wears headscarves, floral print dresses, baskets, and airy skirts. But most importantly, English embroidery must be present in the look.

The garden girl style is perfect not only for nature walks but also for creating the impression that you’ve just planted flowers and picked fruits in the garden.

English embroidery will replace the familiar linen, as it allows the body to breathe and feel comfortable. It gained widespread popularity in England in the 19th century. At that time, only light fabrics and round or oval patterns were available.

In 2024, items with English embroidery can be interpreted in various ways: from bright fabrics and patterns of different shapes, but the most popular option is with floral designs.

Embroidery appears on dresses or blouse sleeves, as well as on skirts or jeans. These pieces will complement and diversify outfits, adding a statement element and creating a romantic mood. It's important to ensure the presence of a lining so that items with English embroidery do not become see-through.

These items should be balanced with basic pieces. ELLE has gathered examples of outfits featuring this trendy stylistic approach.
