Want to effortlessly make an eye-catching statement? Indulge in print play! Vibrant prints, hues, and patterns come together this summer to help you play a stylish game of dress-up. The best part? There are no rules when it comes to mixing and matching.


From subtle chic details to bold and busy prints, there is something for everyone in this season’s most stylish trend because life is too short for boring, solid-coloured outfits. Experiment with a range of prints this year, and combine them together to stand out from the crowd. From modern updates to a few spring favourites like edgy polka dots, checks and nostalgic colour-blocked stripes to even mixing two different floral patterns together, we have a range of styles to be thankful for.


The best way to match colours and prints like a pro is to practise as much as possible. Still, sometimes, good print matches happen by accident, so don’t hesitate to try crazy combinations. Prints keep changing every year, but they will never leave the runway. Be it tribal, floral, subtle, geometric or abstract, patterns have already become classy and deserve a place in your wardrobe.
