Prints are often feared, but this season – if ever, it’s time to embrace them. Florals are blossoming this spring and whether they’re bold and beautiful like Betty Jackson’s Pony Dress, or simple and cute like See by Chloé’s shift - they’re easier to wear than you may think.
Granted, the weather still leaves a lot to be desired and dreams of sun drenched beaches are merely a distant memory, but with a little bit of clever layering, you can master the trend before Easter is over. Wear tights with printed dresses and add the between-season fashion best friend aka the lightweight scarf to keep you warm on cooler evenings.
Day Birger’s silver version is the perfect metallic to co-ordinate with both light and dark colours and isn’t too bulky so you can safely avoid the ‘Frosty the Snowman’ look.
If you invest in just one print for summer, make it one of the season’s ubiquitous tribal-inspired designs like See by Chloé’s Aztec print silk dress. Its style evokes balmy summer days in hot climes and the mouth-watering colour palette is enough to make you want to pack your bags and board that plane right now.
However, if this season’s brights and pretty flower prints are too much to take then Pringle 1815’s cute knitted dress is the perfect antidote to spring’s overtly feminine floral parade. Team it with Biba’s pewter boots and Botkier’s Sasha satchel for a pure 60s look until the sun shows its face!
