Inspirational Perfect Print

A carefully chosen print or pattern is a spark of joy for a tired wardrobe, whether it’s a gingham to keep your style in check, a freshly picked floral to keep you in full bloom, or a star print that will take your next outfit out of this world!

Bloom & glow

Chic Organic Floral Funnel Neck Jersey Top

As our social calendars blossom again, a floral print is the perfect way to let your wardrobe bloom too! Ease it into your everyday outfits by starting slowly - a top is one of the simplest ways to dip your toes into the trend. Try layering one under a denim jacket (or even a dress!) - that way, you’ll get all the benefits a pop of print brings without feeling overwhelmed.

Fresh as a daisy

All-over prints benefit curvy girls thanks to their camouflage-like ability to hide any lumps and bumps that a plain colour might highlight. Bigger, blousy florals also work but the bolder the print, the more of a statement you'll make so be prepared to turn heads! The trick is to pick a tone from the print and choose something plain in that colour to create contrast and balance.

Check, please!

For the pattern-shy, a blouse or shirt is the perfect starting point when you’re playing with print, and can easily be tempered by layering up with a blazer or dressing it down with jeans. Remember, black and white are the perfect springboard for brights...try this monochrome number with a pair of red tailored trousers or a canary-yellow skirt for maximum impact with minimal effort.

Snake charmer

When it comes to this recoloured snake print, it’s animal attraction all round. It's surprisingly subtle so you don’t need to be scared about wearing it from head to toe. As the air cools, try layering it with a black roll neck top or blazer, then accessories with a pair of cool knee high boots and a cross body bag.

Reach for the stars

As soon as we saw this sweatshirt, we knew it was written in the stars. The combination of luxe camel and classic black takes a basic sweatshirt and lets it shine. We’ve styled it with out-of-this-world comfortable woven joggers and neutral shades of khaki, cream and black because...well, when isn’t that a bright idea?
