Seems like they're really trendy this summer and I think they look pretty good when done right, some examples here where I think they look casual but not immature.

Thoughts? Opinions?

What brands carry good floral shirts? How would you style them? Or... do you just think they shouldn't exist?

I like them, but not everyone can pull them off. I think they look best with shorts or drawstring cotton pants and espadrilles or something similar (i.e., Vans).

One of the major problems with floral shirts is distinguishing tasteful patterns from tacky patterns. Of the examples in that, the red probably is best. The color is not stereotypically associated with floral shirts, and the flowers look small and are hard to identify as flowers. Less is more, for that type of item.
