Summers are incomplete without breezy seasonal dresses and popping prints. One of the OGs of summer essentials is printed tops, dresses, bottoms, etc. Prints can easily dress up and make your outfit interesting.
Floral prints are the favourite, but there are other whimsical patterns like polka dots, hand-block, tropical designs that are quite fun to style. There are tons of ways to work with prints in the summers.
It’s all about the balance
With prints, the trick is to create the right balance. The point is to mix and match in a way that creates a cohesive look. The easiest way to wear print is by opting for a floral printed midi dress with neutral shoes.
The prints on the clothing will stand out, and a nude pair of shoes will balance the look. Keep the jewellery simple—a dainty necklace or rings will do the trick.
Prints and denim—best friends!
Denim is super versatile and easy to style. You can wear a printed top with jeans or shorts for a cool, casual day out. For a date night, choose a animal print maxi dress and carry a denim jacket. Printed crop tops with denim skirts look pretty cute as a college outfit. Accessorise with a nice watch, a simple bag, and light makeup.
Go bright, go bold
With summers, it IS the time to go for bright popping colours that stands out. A tropical printed dress in pink, yellow, or orange will steal the show. Opt for flowy silhouettes and finish the look with sunglasses and simple summer sandals.
Tone down accessories with bigger prints
Floral, exotic prints are very attractive, and they can easily make you confident. But with more oversized prints, the trick is to play smart with accessories. Too much accessorising can make the look very busy. Opt for a solid handbag instead of a printed one and in a neutral shade. Add a muted belt that blends in with the dress.
Sporting prints in accessories
If you aren’t a fan of bold prints or want something to elevate your office look, we love printed accessories. Keep your office look simple, and add prints with handbags, scarves, or shoes. Printed accessories can easily dress up your look without being too bold for your taste. Try animal printed bags; they are classic, versatile, and oh so stylish!
Add a popping piece
What’s summer without a rocking stand-out piece? We suggest a colourful printed midi dress or a maxi dress. Don’t go too overboard with adding endless variations of colours to your look.
Choose a piece with well-proportioned colour combinations and a stunning feature. This will be your go-to dress for beach parties, special dates, and cocktails.
The right shoes
While choosing shoes, remember to understand the importance of balance. For bold floral dresses, it is better to go for solid colours of nude. You can also choose a subtle variation of any one colour in your dress. For day looks, wearing a casual midi dress with ballets or sneakers looks very cool.
Choose printed versatile pieces
This is a little tricky to understand!
But keep a few pieces of similar patterns in your wardrobe. Mix and matching similar prints give you a different look. Also, if you are new to the whole printed outfit game, adding prints like florals, polka dots, fruits, leaves, stripes are the patterns you should select.
Play with the classic black and white prints
Prints or patterns in black and white looks very attractive. It’s simple, and you can go for off-beats designs with these classic shades.
For instance, choose a vertical stripe top with a printed bottom. It’s a no-brainer but a fantastic look for a casual outing with friends.
Prints with blazers for work
Many of us have to spend our weeks in the office, so that’s our land to play. Blazers are smart wardrobe staples that can amp up any look. Instead of going for a neutral shirt/top, choose a floral printed one and wear a fitted blazer. A tailored pair of trousers and some earrings will finish the look. It’s fun, flirty yet sophisticated enough for the office.
We hope that now you have some ideas as to how you will style your printed dress the next time. And if you haven’t added these super stylish dresses to your summer collection, head to Diva Boutiques for their newest summer collections.
