Clashing prints
When taking the ‘clash and match’ approach to pattern, choose prints with matching colours and a similar scale, creating a more complementary combination. Worried about your shoes? Go for gold and neutral colours to make your outfit pop.
Office print
Think prints are too bold for the office? Think again! Simply opt for tailored prints for a more office-chic look. Take a page out of Valentino’s book to make Mondays fabulously blue, by pairing soft azure blues with a white shirt. Alternatively, make like Mary Berry and grab yourself a floral bomber jacket. Perfect with slim black pants – or a matching skirt.
Houndstooth
Originating in Scotland in the 1800, houndstooth was worn by shepherds, and in the 1930’s it moved up the social ladder to become the pattern of choice for the wealthy. Personally, I’m in love with this print because it can be worn casually as a knitted sweater, or for business as a shift dress. Always accessories this print with a bold colour. Red shoes are super chic.
Print has been making rounds since 2012 and doesn't seem to be leaving the fashion scene any time soon, so jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the freedom that this trend brings.
